What Is a Free Vein Screening?

A free vein screening at Schulman Vein and Laser Center is a no-cost, no-obligation physician evaluation. It is performed by a board-certified doctor, not a sales team.

In roughly 15 to 20 minutes, we assess whether you may have varicose veins, spider veins, venous insufficiency, or another condition that should be treated.

Who Should Get a Screening?

Many patients live with symptoms for years without realizing minimally invasive treatment is available.

  • Visible veins on legs, ankles, or feet
  • Leg aching, heaviness, swelling, or cramping
  • Family history of vein disease
  • Pregnancy or postpartum vein concerns
  • Jobs requiring prolonged standing or sitting
  • Prior recommendation for venous evaluation

What Happens During a Screening?

There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.

  1. Medical history review
  2. Visual standing exam of veins
  3. Preliminary physician assessment
  4. Discussion of treatment options and insurance considerations
  5. Optional scheduling of ultrasound and follow-up

What to Expect After Your Screening

  • No treatment needed and prevention guidance
  • Ultrasound recommendation for suspected reflux
  • Direct treatment planning for appropriate cases
