Phlebology is a relatively new field, created in 1998. There have been many professional societies that claim to be the one, true organization thus there is conflict in the field. Because of this, Phlebology will likely become an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) recognized field by 2025 rather than sooner. This delay has caused a ripple effect as our "information campaign" has been halted as well. Therefore, many physicians have little, if no, knowledge of vein disease. Many have also sent their patients to colleagues that weren't proficient in venous treatment. The results were subpar and now the physician believes that vein treatments don't work. We are changing the hearts and minds of people daily in our clinic. We will prove that to you and your doctors.
