What sets us apart from other vein specialists?
If you look at our patient testimonials, it all comes down to comfort and quality. Not only will we treat you like a person — not just a patient, prescription or prognosis — we’ll do everything we can to make your care as pain-free as we can.
Many vein clinics are unable to properly use anesthesia, as it’s a specialized skill that requires advanced medical training. As a result, those other clinics can’t put their patients under for a procedure, keeping them awake for all of it. They do of course use local anesthetics and painkillers, but that still creates an environment that can be scary and uncomfortable for a patient.
That’s where the Vein Center of Arizona is an entirely different operation (pun intended!).
Our founder and physician Dr. Paul Larson is a trained anesthesiologist who learned the field through residency at both the University of Arizona and the University of South Florida and membership in the American Society of Anesthesiology. Becoming an anesthesiologist requires a high level of skill and expertise, all of which Dr. Larson brings to the operating room for every procedure he performs.
That background helps him provide treatment to patients with little to no pain or downtime. There’s more to this than simply comfort, however, as the ability to perform certain high-level methods of anesthesia reduce the chances of negative side effects from any procedure. The end product is results you can trust with a much less stressful patient experience — talk about a win-win!
We’ve performed more than 2,000 laser procedures since beginning seven years ago right here in Yuma. Not just limited to vein care and anesthesiology, Dr. Larson has also become one of few vein doctors in the U.S. to hold a credential as a registered Phlebology Sonographer. That means our high-precision, ultrasound-guided procedures have become a specialty of the office and another major benefit for patients of the Vein Center of Arizona.
From the moment you meet our receptionists through your procedure and on to continued care, the Vein Center of Arizona is looking out for your best interests. Come in for your free initial vein screening and see for yourself what sets us apart!
