Varicose Veins & Leg Swelling: Quick Answers Without the Hospital Hassle

Varicose veins and leg swelling are common problems—but they can also be signs of more serious vascular conditions. Waiting weeks for a hospital appointment or referral isn’t just frustrating—it can delay important care. That’s why Dr. Ricardo Vasquez, board-certified vascular surgeon in Bloomington, offers same-day, in-office vascular ultrasound evaluations—no hospital, no referral, and no unnecessary delays.

Why It Matters to Act Quickly

Leg swelling and visible varicose veins can indicate:

• Chronic Venous Insufficiency – faulty valves causing blood to pool in the legs 
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – a dangerous blood clot that can lead to pulmonary embolism 
• Lymphedema – chronic fluid buildup in the tissues 
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – restricted blood flow to the legs 

Some of these conditions require immediate attention to prevent complications. A vascular ultrasound is the fastest and most accurate way to find out what’s going on.

In-Office Vascular Ultrasound—Fast, Accurate, Affordable

When you visit The Vascular Center and Vein Clinic of Southern Indiana, your evaluation happens under one roof:
