What to expect from your ProVas visit

If you are scheduled for an initial evaluation with our provider

If you are like so many other patients, there is always some level of anxiety when faced with any medical visit – not matter how minor. To put your mind at ease, we want to give you an overview of what to expect at a ProVas Labs visit.

The initial visit.

On your first visit, you will be asked to fill out some important paperwork. None of us like paperwork, but some forms are legal documents while others provide us with critical information about your medical history. This includes your family history, your social history and other details. This information is essential to creating a treatment plan specifically for you. The completed forms will be reviewed by the medical staff and our provider as part of your care plan.

*** These forms are available on our website and can be completed online and downloaded prior to your visit.  We suggest you complete these forms ahead of time but if you prefer, you can obtain these forms at the ProVas office.

As part of your ProVas treatment plan, you will most likely be scheduled for an Ultrascound image prior to seeing the provider.  This Ultrasound gives the provider an accurate overview of your veins and arteries and is critical in determining your diagnosis and treatment options.

During your first visit, our provider will discuss your Ultrasound results and a treatment based on the results.  Treatment options range from diet, exercise, compression stockings or a procedure.  All the options will be thoroughly discussed with you.

If a procedure is diagnosed for your treatment.

Based on the ultrasound,

your symptoms and your medical history, you could be diagnosed as a candidate for any one of several procedural treatments. Once again, our provider will discuss in great detail the procedure best suited for you.

On the day of your procedure,

a member of the ProVas medical staff will briefly go over the procedure and what to expect. The staff member will provide you with basic answers to your questions before seeing the ProVas provider. Before your procedure, your doctor will also answer any questions and address any concerns. We want you to be informed, comfortable and confident before your procedure.

After the procedure and recovery.

Because our procedures are considered minimally invasive, the recovery time is short.  In fact, in most cases, you will be able to walk out on your own after a procedure.  We do however require you have a driver to take you home safely due to the lingering affects you may experience from any sedation related to the procedure.

Instructions

Before you leave, the medical staff will provide you with post procedure instructions for follow-up. The medical staff will also set an appropriate follow-up appointment with our doctors to review your progress and recovery from your procedure to ensure you are continue to enjoy life to its fullest.

Remember.

At any time, don't hesitate to ask questions. We want you to feel as comfortable and informed as possible. Your health and comfort are paramount at ProVas. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about your procedure.
