Cold weather is actually one of the best times to treat varicose and spider veins ❄️🦵

Cooler temps = easier compression stocking wear, less swelling, and plenty of time for your legs to heal before shorts season.

If you’re dealing with:
• Aching or heavy legs
• Swelling in your calves or ankles
• Bulging or visible veins

this may be more than a cosmetic issue — it could be vein disease. Our board-certified vascular surgeons in Knoxville can help.

If chronic knee pain is limiting your mobility or keeping you from the activities you love, Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) may be the minimally invasive solution you’ve been hoping for.

G*E targets the tiny inflamed arteries around the knee that contribute to osteoarthritis pain. By reducing blood flow to these overactive vessels, the procedure helps decrease inflammation — often providing lasting relief without major surgery.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Stephen A. Tonks, MD, RPVI, board-certified vascular surgeon at Premier Vascular & Vein Center, explains how G*E works in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/4r5oLeZ

If knee pain is interfering with your daily life, this advanced vascular procedure could be a game-changer.

🩸 November is National Diabetes Month — and your vascular health matters more than you think!

Did you know that diabetes and vascular disease are closely connected? High blood sugar can damage blood vessels over time, leading to poor circulation, slow-healing wounds, and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

At Premier Vascular & Vein Center, our board-certified vascular surgeons specialize in early diagnosis and advanced treatments — from minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty and stenting to non-surgical vein treatments such as sclerotherapy and laser therapy.

Our goal is simple: restore healthy blood flow and protect your limbs and life.

If you or a loved one have diabetes, now is the perfect time to schedule a vascular evaluation.
