| General Information
Many patients use the internet to find the best possible treatment options for their condition, and a physician with the most experience. More and more frequently patients travel for expert medical treatments. Dr. Mauriello is a National Board Member with the American College of Phlebology and has specialized in vein therapy since the mid 1980's. He is one of the most experienced and skillful phlebologists in the nation. This is why patients travel to the Raleigh Durham from all over the country to be treated by Dr. Mauriello. We have noted a significant increase in the number of patients traveling greater distances to get the expert care provided by Dr. Mauriello. We are conveniently located 8 miles from the Raleigh Durham airport, with many hotel, shopping and dining options available in the area.
The information below will help those patients considering long distance treatment options. For long distance patients special arrangements can be made which will result in the most productive use of your time during your visit(s). We ask that you call the office to discuss your particular situation, as each person's condition and situation is different. We will do all we can to make this process comfortable for you.
Typically during the first visit the physician will examine your legs, complete a detailed ultrasound reflux study, and provide a detailed treatment plan. By doing all this on the first visit, we can verify and/or pre-certify your insurance coverage and the procedure can be performed during your second visit.
If obtaining insurance coverage is not a concern, we can do the consultation, duplex ultrasound and treatment on your first visit. This will be discussed and pre-arranged for your convenience.
If however you are flying into Raleigh Durham, or have a trip in excess of 300 miles, same day evaluation and treatment MAY be an option. In order for this to occur, you will need to provide detailed information, and have a phone conversation with Dr. Mauriello.
To arrange this type of a long distance visit, you will need to provide the following information:
- A brief description of your signs and symptoms
- A list of current medications or other significant medical conditions
- Several photos of your legs which show the problems varicosities
- Insurance information - to verify benefits, unless you are a cash patient
-
If available: a copy of a venous duplex scan with reflux study, and vein mapping. This study is critical for your treatment. This ultrasound study is a normal part of your examination process at Vein Help and due to the specialized nature of the testing is not available in many places.
Every effort will be made to accommodate you along with specific instructions catered to your individual needs. Every case will be individualized based on your needs.
