What are the pros and cons of inpatient vs. outpatient vein treatments?

An often overlooked aspect of vein treatment is the question of where to be treated—at a hospital or clinic. There are important differences, and knowing them can help you make the best decision. The following graphs show you the pros and cons of each treatment. But the difference essentially boils down to this: the main reason to be treated at a hospital is when your vein disease is significant enough that you’re better served in a hospital facility, where you would likely receive general anesthesia (as opposed to local or no anesthesia). But don’t worry, we’ll assess your needs and give you our best recommendation of where to be treated.
