I am wanting to get EVLT treatment done on my buldging hand and wrist veins. I have had it done on my legs with no issues. But my vascular doctor wont touch hand veins. Ive also had ultrasound studies aof my arm and hand veins and other they are fine. Problem is Im having trouble finding a doctor that works on hands. Other then Scelothoropy. Im in Augusta, Ga now but will he moving to Colorado Springs in March. I prefer a doctor not too far away. Thanks.
