Going back to the doctor’s office can be overwhelming, especially after getting used to telemedicine and taking the necessary precautions when around people that are sick.
Sometimes, you can simply forget to go to the doctor’s for a few years, and by the time you go – you may be embarrassed.
We want you to know that our doctors at USA Vein Clinics are here to help you, and it’s for your best health to attend appointments.
We’ve put together a list of questions to help ease any uncomfortable situations that your vein specialist should be answering – either on their own or from your prompts.
