Many people struggle with leg swelling, restless legs, cramping, varicose veins, and achy legs. People often don't realize that this is a result of venous insufficiency and circulation problems. Modern vein care is available and covered by most insurance plans. Dr. Tidwell is board certified in venous and lymphatic medicine and provides minimally invasive therapies with virtually no downtime. Our main goal is to help patients achieve clear, cancer free skin. We accept all major insurance plans which usually also cover vein care. We also offer a number of cosmetic therapies to keep your skin looking youthful. Early detection and prevention of skin cancer is key. Call us today to make an appointment for your annual skin check.
