Garlene W., Office Manager, Pikeville, CT
Age: 58
Treating physician: David Collins, MD
  I am now able to show off my legs whenener I can."

For years Garlene experienced severe leg pain from her knees down to her feet. In addition to the pain, she experienced swelling so bad that she would have to frequently get off her feet and elevate her legs. She ultimately developed symptoms in both legs.

Previous stripping surgery from her knees down and wearing support stockings for years provided only a short-term solution. Garlene sought the Closure procedure—for long-term relief—after discussing the procedure with a co-worker. Additionally, the Closure procedure offered minimal downtime. She stated, “with vein stripping I was off from work for six weeks and with the Closure procedure my downtime took only one day.”

Following the procedure, Garlene was able to do a lot of walking the same day the procedure was performed. By the next day she was “feeling fine” and was back to her normal activities once the wrapping was removed. Garlene noticed improvement in her symptoms right away. She stated, “I no longer have any swelling and the pain has decreased.” Cosmetically the appearance of her legs improved and she commented, “I am now able to show off my legs whenever I can.”

Garlene is pleased with the results of the Closure procedure, explaining “my life has improved tremendously. I wish I could have had the Closure procedure years ago, instead of vein stripping. I would recommend the procedure to anyone.”
