What Happens At My First Consultation?

At Melbourne Varicose Vein, we dedicate about 60 minutes for your initial consultation. To assess the root cause of your vein condition, you’ll need to complete a detailed questionnaire covering your general health, medical history, and vein symptoms.

If necessary, a Duplex Ultrasound Scan will be performed on the day (at no extra out-of-pocket cost) to determine the source of the abnormal veins visible on your skin.

During your first consultation, a comprehensive ultrasound scan will be conducted.
This scan maps and evaluates the function of the hidden veins within your legs that are not visible.These veins may be incompetent and could be contributing to the visible veins on your legs.

  • Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
  • You can request the questionnaire to be emailed or mailed to you when booking your first consultation.

The Ultrasound Scan

Ultrasound examination will take around 20 minutes and is performed while you are standing, either by Dr. Yazdani or a Sonographer.

Ultrasound uses sound waves to examine the function and condition of your underlying leg veins. At Melbourne Varicose Vein Clinic, the ultrasound scan is crucial for diagnosing and planning minimally invasive treatment options. Understanding the root cause of your vein problem is essential.

What Happens After the Ultrasound Scan?

Once we understand your veins’ condition, Dr. Yazdani will explain the ultrasound and physical examination findings, then prepare a treatment plan for you.

  • She will discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and potential complications of any proposed procedure.
  • Dr. Yazdani will answer all your questions during the session.
  • A detailed cost estimate will be provided in writing.
