If you've experienced symptoms like constant leg pain that cannot be relieved, itchiness or burning, aggravating aches, swelling, or burning in your calves and thighs, you may be suffering from varicose veins. In addition to general discomfort, these veins have become dark in color and possibly knotted. Not only do your legs hurt, but you feel self-conscious about letting other people see them. It's estimated that one in three Americans over 45 has some type of venous disease, including varicose veins and spider veins.

Marcus A. Jimenez, MD, FACS, is a leading Board-Certified Cardiovascular surgeon with more than a decade of experience in treating venous disease. Regarded as a preeminent authority in his field, he is the founder and medical director of The Indiana Vein and Laser Center and The Medical Spa. These facilities are Fort Wayne and Fishers' most established medical practices devoted to non-surgical aesthetic procedures and rejuvenation treatments.
The Indiana Vein and Laser Center, with locations in Ft. Wayne and Fishers, Indiana, offers a considerable range of venous care. Our established reputation as a comprehensive center whose focus is on the successful treatment of vein disease leads us to provide state-of-the-art treatments in a warm, caring, and professional environment.
With varicose vein disorders, vein failure occurs within the valves, allowing blood to flow backward, causing congestion and enlargement of the vessel. Over time this can lead to swelling of the ankles and legs, skin breakdown, poorly healing wounds, severe pain and aching, and complaints of "heaviness" or "tired" legs.
Spider veins are small, damaged veins that primarily appear on the surface of the legs or face. Though they usually are not painful, spider veins often are removed for cosmetic reasons. How to differentiate them from varicose veins is a common worry. These FAQs should help resolve any questions you may have.

Went in for spider vein/ varicose vein removal on my legs. I was told I would only need 2-3 treatments. I've had 3 total treatments. My veins are now worse than before I started and it has been a full year since my 1st treatment. I noticed all the sudden after my one of my treatments the veins started to show up& spread to an area I've never had a problem with. Highly Disappointed!

This is going to be a long review! I am 36 years old, I've struggled with severe varicose veins, since I was 16! I don't wear shorts, I cover my legs if I wear a bathing suit! I have never been able to wear tall boots due to the amount of swelling that occurs with my varicose veins. I love to run 5k-10k's, I have had to wear my stockings to help the pain and swelling!
They were uncomfortable and honestly not attractive at all! They have recently gotten worse after having my last child, and I decided that it was time to check them out. I visited Dr. Jimenez and his amazing assistant! They answered all my questions and my concerns. I set up my appointment to have them removed after my consultation. I came in to my appointment to have the surgery done and they made me feel absolutely wonderful!
I was nervous, but they made it as fun as possible. If you love dad jokes, Dr. Jimenez has some good ones. His assistant had me giggling also! I'm a small town gal, and they both were FANTASTIC! The surgery went well, I left feeling pretty great. I came in for my follow up and the amount of change in my leg is overwhelming. I went on my first run after having my surgery and I had no SWELLING, it WAS NOT UNCOMFORTABLE AFTERWORDS and I DIDN'T HAVE TO WEAR MY STOCKING!
This is huge! My 5mile run left me feeling fantastic afterwards. No pain no swelling and my varicose veins are completely gone. I thank them greatly for making me feel more comfortable!

I went to see Dr. Jimenez for my varicose veins on both my legs. He explained the procedure, let's you know what he's doing during the procedure and making you comfortable and talking to you. I had the utmost confidence in his ability to help me. I am very pleased with the outcome. I was very confident wearing shorts and a bathing suit this past summer. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I want to say how overly pleased and happy and comfortable I am with coming to Dr. Jimenez and his staff. I had vein surgery done a week ago, which the whole procedure was great, they made you feel comfortable throughout, etc. a week later I still had some pretty significant pain, they got me right in and made sure it was nothing serious. I highly recommend to choose Dr. Jimenez and his staff for any vein treatment you need! Well done Sir! And thank you!

I have had two procedures so far this week with Dr. Jimenez and Amy. They have been so professional and helpful. I have been in pain for a long time dealing with my horrible legs. I'm so excited to see the results. Not only are they kind but so funny during the procedures it's been so easy to keep my mind off what they are doin. I would definitely recommend goin to this clinic.
As soon as I'm healed I will be coming back to take care of my spider veins as well. They also have so many other services I didn't know about like Lazer hair removal, spider vein removal, and so many more. Call them for services needed, I can promise you won't be disappointed. It's so unlike any other doctor's office I've ever been too. They get you immediately into your appointment, I waited less then 5 minutes each day and they called me right back to get me started.
They are wonderful, so call and schedule your appointment today. I will definitely be getting the word out to others because I know I'm not the only one who is suffering with varacois vein pain and discomfort. I know I'll have less pain now once I'm healed and they will also look so much better, I can't

My experience with Dr, . Jimenez and his staff was outstanding! I had 2 very large varicose veins on my right leg that were removed. The results were unbelievable. I should have done this a long time ago. The procedure didn't hurt at all and I was back to my daily activities in 2 days. The staff were very friendly and reassuring. Dr. Jimenez is extremely qualified and he is passionate about his work.

My experience at this office was incredible. Everyone working here was friendly and professional. I had a very large varicose vein removed and the results were unbelievable. The procedure was literally pain free. The attention to detail from scheduling to explanation of the surgery certainly answered any questions. Please use this center because you will not find another doctor with more experience.

This place is great, the Dr is amazing and I could not be happier with my results. You don't realize how much pain you are living with daily until it is gone. I'm a challenging case when it comes to the leg veins however Dr Jimenez really knows how to take care of this! I didn't have any post surgery down time, no pain meds to take.
I literally had the veins treated and went back to work. The follow up and care they show is so much more then I have experienced in the past. I highly recommend them! Being out of constant pain is wonderful and the bonus is having the ugly bulging veins gone. Also, if you are looking for a place to get some spider veins treated you must go here!

I went here a few times for botox, but then the Dr. started using Xeomin, which I don't like. I'm not sure if it is really watered down or what but it's one of the most expensive places for botox/filler and I feel it doesn't last too long. Nothing negative to say about Dr. Jimenez or his staff, except I did schedule a facial treatment and when I went in to get it done they had scheduled me for a different treatment.
The treatment I was getting was only available for when the doctor was in. So I drove 20 minutes and was pretty much turned away and told to reschedule. I decided not to. I was given a mini Debrands chocolate bar for my trouble. That was the last time I went there.

I usually do not write reviews but I did not have a good experience at The Medical Spa. When I called and booked my appointment I told the receptionist that I wanted to get the Hydra facial for a wedding I was attending on Saturday. She was very nice and scheduled me for that morning. She said they will give you a free consultation then after your facial.
Everybody was very nice but after the consult I had to remind them that I wanted the facial. Then the lady who did it had no idea how to work the machine and the whole facial was over within 10 minutes! This facial in particular is suppose to last a minimum of 20 minutes. After I got home I sent them an email telling them my disappoint and the only response I received was "sorry for experience". I would recommend not going there because all they were concerned about doing was selling me more expensive laser treatments!
