Choosing the Right Vein Doctor
Oklahoma City Vein Specialist
Many doctors offering vein treatment began their medical training in the field of dermatology or some related field not including intensive training in vascular problems. Certainly, vein problems such as varicose veins and spider veins do affect the skin, but the root causes lie in the function of internal veins. When choosing a vein doctor, it is important to recognize the distinction between a doctor trained in dermatology and a doctor trained in cardiology.
Dr. Pedulla – Cardiologist and Vein Specialist
A cardiologist is a physician who is certified to treat problems of the cardiovascular system--the heart, arteries, and veins. Dr. Pedulla’s life work has been dedicated to helping people live healthier lives through complete cardiovascular care. His practice has grown and specialized further with the introduction of cutting-edge, minimally-invasive vein care technologies as alternatives to major reconstructive surgery.
In the early 1990’s he published a case report on his innovative stent technique that transformed risky open-heart surgery into a less invasive procedure. His work has garnered him national respect as a speaker, author, and physician trainer for vascular intervention and vein care therapy. Procedures in which Dr. Pedulla has special expertise include:
- Endovascular leg stents
- Ultrasound-assisted coronary stent placement
- Plaque-shaving techniques that can replace leg artery stents
- Closure devices during arteriograms, angiograms and endovascular procedures
- Reduced hospital aftercare to less than 1 hour
- EVLT® laser therapy
