Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon
Varicose Veins are twisted and swollen vein in the legs, that lie just underneath the skin. They may be red, blue and purple in color. Veins contain one-way valves to ensure that the blood flows towards the heart.
If the valves are weak or damaged, blood can backup and overload the pressure on the veins. This excess pressure created causes widening of veins leading to varicose veins.
Yes, Varicose Vein Surgeries are generally covered by Health Insurance. Insurance companies recognize that this disease is real, not just cosmetic.
A vascular surgeon makes sure patients with vascular health issues know and understand all their options. They are experts in open surgical therapy or advanced minimally invasive techniques. At Vascular Surgeons of Houston, we have a proven track record of thousands of successful operations with excellent outcomes.
Some specialists specialize in one or two kinds of vascular interventions, so their patients tend to get those treatments. Vascular surgeons are trained in everything: open, complicated surgery and minimally invasive, endovascular procedures. Some patients need one, some need the other, while many need no surgery at all. Vascular surgeons are “treatment agnostic,” that is, they don’t prefer any kind of treatment over another. Patients can be assured they will get the best treatment for their particular needs. Often vascular surgeons get involved in a patient’s care after their other treatments have failed.
I cannot say enough about Dr Desai. I’m not sure he realizes how he changed my mother's life completely. She’s an amputee and was in the verge of losing her other leg due to extreme lack of circulation. He ended up spending 9 hours of surgery on her after complications. But he did it! She’s high risk in every way but he spent the time and got it done. Even after my mom was a difficult patient, he pulled through with her and we appreciate him very much.
