Dr. Navarro explains how spider veins are diagnosed.
Dr. Navarro:
Usually, you examine the patient. Then, you usually would do a Doppler study just to make sure that the main valves and perforators are competent and it’s an isolated case of spider veins, not spider veins, that they are secondary to an increased pressure to varicose veins or failure of valves or perforators.
