If you suffer from varicose veins, or have noticed spider veins on your ankles, face, or chest, seek treatment with a vein clinic you feel comfortable with. It would be easy to tell you to come to the Vein Clinic of Greater Kansas City, but rather than just shamelessly promote ourselves, our goal is to help you find the right place for you. For example: Consider the facility’s team of providers, the facility itself, accreditation, its insurance policies, among other factors, to pursue treatment with a vein clinic most suited to your preferences.
Kansas City’s Venous Insufficiency Specialists
Do your research on any vein treatment facility before scheduling an appointment. Pay attention to how long the practice has existed; you want to have confidence in your doctor. You may even ask for references from previous patients to get a firsthand account of how they felt about their doctor, not to mention other areas of satisfaction with the procedure(s).
Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) Endorsement
IAC accreditation is a seal of approval that patients can rely on as an indicator of quality care and a dedication to improvement. An IAC accreditation is widely respected within the medical community, as illustrated by the support of the national medical societies related to venous disorders, which include physicians, physician extenders, nurses and ultrasound technologists.
As the IAC website explains:
“Accreditation by the IAC indicates that Vein Clinic of Greater Kansas City has undergone an intensive application and review process and is found to be in compliance with the published Standards, thus demonstrating a commitment to quality patient care in vein treatment and management. Comprised of a detailed self-evaluation followed by a thorough review by a panel of medical experts, the IAC accreditation process enables both the critical operational and technical components of the applicant facility to be assessed, including representative case studies and their corresponding final reports.”
When scheduling a vein center procedure, we encourage our patients to research the accreditation status of our facility.
