Expert vein and wound care with seamless collaboration between our team and yours.
Vein & Wound Institute partners with physicians and healthcare providers to deliver specialized, minimally invasive, and evidence-based care for patients with venous disease, complex wounds, and circulation-related conditions.
When you refer a patient to our team, our goal is simple: provide the specialized care they need while keeping you informed throughout their treatment.
When Your Patient May Benefit From Specialty Care
Consider referring patients who are experiencing persistent venous symptoms, difficult-to-heal wounds, recurrent wounds, edema, or conditions that may require advanced diagnostics or specialized treatment.
Venous Disease
Chronic venous insufficiency, symptomatic varicose veins, venous ulcers, and post-thrombotic syndrome.
Non-Healing Wounds
Diabetic, venous, arterial, pressure, traumatic, or post-surgical wounds that are delayed in healing.
Recurrent Symptoms
Recurrent wounds, persistent edema, skin changes, or other symptoms that continue despite standard care.
Advanced Evaluation
Patients who may benefit from advanced vascular diagnostics, specialized procedures, wound management, or a second opinion.
Specialized Care With Ongoing Communication
Our role is to complement the care you already provide. We focus on specialty evaluation and treatment while maintaining communication throughout the referral process.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Detailed evaluation and diagnosis based on the patient's symptoms, history, and clinical findings.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Modern, office-based treatment options for appropriate venous conditions.
Advanced Wound Management
Specialized management for complex, chronic, and difficult-to-heal wounds.
Care Coordination
Ongoing updates designed to support continuity between our team and the referring provider.
Timely Follow-Up
Referral communication and follow-up as the patient progresses through evaluation and treatment.
Your Patient Remains at the Center of the Process
A referral should feel like an extension of the care your practice already provides. Our team works to make the process straightforward for both physicians and patients.
Following evaluation, we develop an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's condition and clinical needs. When appropriate, we provide updates so the referring provider remains informed about diagnosis, treatment, and progress.

Referring Physician FAQs
What types of patients should I refer?
Patients may benefit from referral when they have chronic venous insufficiency, symptomatic varicose veins, venous ulcers, post-thrombotic symptoms, persistent edema, non-healing wounds, recurrent wounds, or conditions requiring specialized vascular or wound evaluation.

Our team evaluates a variety of acute and chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, pressure wounds, post-surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, recurrent wounds, and other difficult-to-heal wounds.
