What Is Unique About The West Virginia Vein & Skin Centers?      The West Virginia Vein & Skin Centers is the only location in the state performing EVLT® (Endovenous Laser Treatment) by Diomed.  George E. Lovegrove,M.D. and his associates have been performing EVLT® since 2001 and have performed more procedures than any other vein center in the United States.  EVLT® is used to treat the large painful varicose veins caused by incompetent valves in the greater or lesser saphenous veins.  EVLT® has replaced the traditional painful surgical vein stripping procedures.  EVLT® is FDA approved and now reimbursed by all commercial insurances, Medicare, and West Virginia Medicaid programs.  Unlike most vein centers, Dr. Lovegrove and his associates perform all of their procedures in the office setting rather than the hospital.  EVLT® can be performed at any age just as long as they are still ambulatory.  Patients treated to date range from ages 14 to 94.  Most patients return to full activities or work the same or following day.  Call today to see if you are a candidate for EVLT® or any of the non-surgical vein procedures!
