At West Kentucky Surgery and Vein Center, Chris Gooch, M.D., uses advanced techniques to treat vein disease, including new minimally-invasive techniques that let patients get back to normal activities in usually just a couple of days. No general anesthesia or hospitalization is required.

Varicose veins are enlarged "rope-like" veins that are swollen and raised above the surface of the skin. They can be flesh-colored, dark purple or blue, and often look like a cluster of grapes. Varicose veins result from abnormal inner walls or abnormal valves in the blood vessels, and they are very common. Varicose veins affect one out of every two people older than the age of 50.

Dr. Chris Gooch will consult with you and recommend the best plan of treatment for your medical or cosmetic vein needs. Most insurance companies cover treatments for varicose veins, even Medicare.
