Ultrasound
At AVI, we believe in all facets of patient care and administration. After all, an informed patient makes better decisions, leading to a trusting relationship. With regard to your medical coverage, before we can submit potential vein treatment to your insurance for approval, we must gather information to prove that your symptoms are caused by a treatable medical condition. This information is compiled from Dr. Albert’s history and physical examination as well as an ultrasound examination.

General Surgery
After receiving his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Dr. James D. Albert, RPVI, completed his General Surgery training and Residency at New York-Presbyterian/Weill-Cornell Medical Center. Eventually relocating to Colorado, Dr. Albert completed a Cardiovascular Surgery fellowship at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver. He went on to serve as Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UCHealth-Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs.
Vascular Surgery
The specialization of Phlebology (vein care) arose because the vascular surgeons who traditionally treated patients with venous disease were not exclusively focused on veins. Contrary to popular belief, board certification in Vascular Surgery does not necessarily mean expertise in vein care; in fact, the majority of a vascular surgeon ’s training is focused on arterial disease rather than venous disease. Because vein care was something of an afterthought for this kind of surgeon, the quality of the treatments, such as those for varicose veins and spider viens, was inconsistent—and the need arose for a more specialized provider who was familiar with the intricacies of vein conditions and treatments.

Ulcer
Ulceration – Venous ulcers are non-healing wounds that most frequently occur around the ankles. Ulcers form from a build-up in pressure from long-standing superficial venous insufficiency (improper functioning valves in the vein) and cause brown and red skin color changes known as stasis dermatitis. Once these skin changes take place, a very minor injury can cause a venous stasis ulcer, or it can happen spontaneously.
Eczema
Varicose veins, along with being unsightly, eventually lead to pain, aching, swelling, heaviness, itching, or cramping. Also, clots can form within the veins, leading to phlebitis (inflammation of a vein). Phlebitis causes the area of the clotted vein to become painful, hot and swollen. Untreated varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening, and ulceration. Treating venous disease prior to the development of these conditions can help avoid unnecessary pain as well as the risk of additional complications.
