  • What is claudication?

  • Why does my leg swell if I have varicose veins?

  • Is an aortic aneurysm fixable?

    Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA's) can be life threatening and therefore you need to seek an evaluation by a vascular surgeon. However the risk of having a serious complication from the AAA depends on the size of the aneurysm. I recommend you see a specialist and get peace of mind or a plan of action. READ MORE

  • Compression knee highs

    Compression socks are the main treatment for varicose veins. Degree of compression depends on severity of swelling and complications from varicose veins. Light compression socks are usually effective for mild to even moderate disease. In fact, I wear them also to prevent varicose veins as I am on my feet for so many hours of the day. READ MORE

  • Do varicose veins come back after treatment?

    I am sorry to say that varicose veins have a tendency to come back. How severe and how many varicose veins you have determines the recurrence rate. However, laser treatment if very effective and in the right hands might give you the results you need for a long time. Good luck on your procedure. READ MORE

  • What is a vascular surgeon?

    Thank for asking a great question. In Vascular Surgery training we gain expertise in treating patients medically and by performing interventions. And if a procedure were necessary I have tools to decide what would be best for the individual via endovascular or surgical methods. Therefore I can offer any of my patients the most to date and individualized treatment for their specific issues by any means necessary. READ MORE

    I had a serious problem with the blood flow in my leg, and Dr Correa promptly figured out what was wrong and I am walking again with no problems. His nurse was also very nice and made me feel secure during scary process.
