Hello, my name is Firas Salti, and I'm an MD. I joined McFarland Clinic in 1999. My
specialty's internal medicine, and I have a special interest in treating varicose veins
and veins of the legs. We provide cosmetic services and medical services for patients
with varicose veins or spider veins. Spider veins are usually cosmetic, and they need
to be treated for people to have a better look for their legs. Any aspect of the varicose
veins or vein insufficiency is treated at the Vein Clinic. Initial evaluation is to
have an ultrasound for the veins and see if there is any incompetency there, and based
on that, we make a treatment plan based on their condition. And then, the following visit
will be to start doing what needs to be done. It's' very rewarding, actually, for me as
a physician, because I can make people feel better about their legs and look better too.
Often, in internal medicine, you don't see that combination. You treat hypertension,
for example, with blood a pressure medicine to prevent strokes or heart disease, but with
the Vein Clinic, they will tell you, people will tell you, that they're feeling better
and they're looking better, and that's very rewarding to me.
