Celebrating their tenth consecutive year of participating in the San Diego Magazine Top Doctor’s issue, the vascular specialists at La Jolla Vein & Vascular (LJVV) continue to offer leading-edge care for vein conditions of the lower body.
More than 80 million Americans suffer from some type of vein disorder, with the most common being varicose veins and spider veins. These conditions often have an underlying cause called venous reflux disease. LJVV specializes in nonsurgical treatment of this root cause, using methods such as laser, radiofrequency, and chemical ablation. With locations in La Jolla and North County (Vista), LJVV features a full-service diagnostic laboratory for precise diagnosis with noninvasive ultrasound imaging of the blood vessels in the legs.
“Patients seek treatment for different reasons,” explains Dr. Nisha Bunke, medical director of LJVV. “We individualize treatment plans based on individual goals, whether it be relieving pain and discomfort, healing leg ulcers, or obtaining a cosmetic improvement. We address each patient’s unique concerns and use our expertise to guide them toward the best approach and optimal outcome.”
A patient-centered care approach and compassionate care are hallmarks of the patient experience at LJVV. “We empower and educate patients every day regarding treatment options, guidance on conservative care, and prevention.”
