Diagnostic Services – Advanced Testing
At LaserVein.Co we provide a specialist Vascular Diagnostic Service providing advanced testing for venous conditions.
We provide comprehensive, non-invasive testing for outpatients to assess their veins. Venous ultrasound is used to assist doctors in providing a suitable treatment plan where necessary.
All patients must be referred either by a General Practitioner or a Specialist. A report with an accompanying worksheet will be generated and sent to the referring doctor.
If a serious condition is discovered during testing, our Senior Vascular Technician will immediately consult with Mr. Milne to take the appropriate course of action. For any questions please call 03 9509 9055.
Who will be doing my tests?
Your tests will be performed by one of our experienced Sonographers who is specifically trained to perform vascular examinations.
Interim results will be provided immediately after the examination. A treatment plan will then be discussed with our Specialist Vascular Nurse and our experienced administration team will also provide you with an estimate.
If you decide to go ahead with treatment a consultation with Mr. Peter Milne will be arranged. This initial consultation with the surgeon will cost $200 with a medicare rebate of $72.75. Following this, an appropriate treatment date will be scheduled.
What will I need to bring?
Please bring along your referral if your physician has not already faxed/emailed it to us.
