Coastal Georgia Vein Center: Dr. Greg Martin

The advantages of finding a specialist.

If You’ve Had Poor Results from Other Doctors

Over the years, Dr. Martin has treated hundreds of patients who were unhappy with the results of endovenous ablation procedures performed by less-experienced physicians. Most of these patients still suffered unnecessarily from pain, swelling, unsightliness, and other symptoms of vein disease. Their veins persisted and worsened, or they recurred worse than before.

That’s why it’s so important to find a well-trained, experienced physician like Dr. Martin, who practices vein surgery as a specialty, not merely as a sideline.

He has the training and experience to treat all of the diseased veins in your legs, not just the large ones.

Comprehensive, quality care

In addition to treating the major diseased vein in each leg by ablating (closing) it, Dr. Martin provides the following procedures to give patients the most comprehensive and satisfactory treatments possible:

• Ambulatory microphlebectomy to remove large-size, bulging varicose veins.
• Foam sclerotherapy to remove small to mid-size veins. It is less invasive than microphlebectomy and poses an even lower risk of side effects.
• Perforator vein ablation to close defective perforator veins, which are the short connecting bridge veins that carry blood from your superficial vein system to your deep vein system. The two most popular techniques for treating perforator veins are
  - Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS)
  - Endovenous thermal ablation using either a laser or a radio-frequency instrument

These advanced procedures offer patients the following significant benefits

• Increased satisfaction following the initial procedure
• Greater immediate resolution of varicose vein problems
• Reduced risk of blood-clot complications
• Reduced medical fees because all procedures are done in one session
• Less time away from work because there are fewer treatment sessions
