Wanda T., Engineer, Johns Island, SC
Age: 50
Treating physician: Thomas Wieters , MD
  This summer for the first time in many years, I was comfortable wearing shorter skirts, shorts, and even a swimsuit.”

Wanda is an active person involved in marathon races and routine exercise. She has experienced varicose veins since the age of 21. She experienced heaviness in her legs, and they felt very dull and achy at times. Over the years, Wanda has had 3 phlebectomy procedures on her left leg and 1 phlebectomy procedure on her right leg. She also had sclerotherapy on her legs every six months for the past 10 years.

Wanda was relieved to know that the Closure procedure would be appropriate for her right leg and would include only one incision rather than several little incisions as in her prior experiences. Wanda explained, “Dr. Wieter’s has established a very competent team and from start to finish everyone was very focused on solving my vein problems.” Wanda’s Closure procedure took about 30-45 minutes, and she explained that she experienced no pain after the procedure.

Wanda noticed improvements right away. The day after the procedure, she was able to walk four miles and within one month after the procedure she participated in a 10k race with no complications or pain. Wanda is now able to dress and enjoy all the seasons year round and she explained, “this summer for the first time in may years, I was comfortable wearing shorter skirts, shorts, and even a swimsuit.”
