Where can you go when you want more information about vein disease, vascular health, and vein treatments? Dr. Lowell S. Kabnick, a NJ vein doctor and noted Morristown vein expert, has some suggestions.

What are the best resources on vascular health for Morris County residents?Websites
A great place to start is the Internet – but you need to know whether your sources are trustworthy. Don’t believe everything you read! Some of the websites we feel are solid and trustworthy include the following:

Medline: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.com/
Stanford Hospital: https://stanfordhospital.org/
OrthoInfo: https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/main.cfm
Duke University Health: https://www.dukehealth.org/
Office on Women’s Health, US Government: https://womenshealth.gov/
Johns Hopkins Medicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org

Of course, we also believe in our own website, https://lowellkabnickmd.com. Dr. Kabnick, NJ vein doctor, is one of the few in the US who devotes his practice entirely to NJ vein disease treatment and diagnosis. Whether or not a doctor spends his time exclusively on a particular medical area is an excellent way to judge their commitment and expertise in that particular area. Dr. Kabnick is highly respected in the field as an expert, a teacher, a presenter and an author, including over 80 publishing credits to his name. His expertise is undisputed.

A Local Vein Center
Once you’ve gotten some general information from the Internet, a Morristown vein clinic is an excellent place to begin your quest for more information about your particular situation. At a local clinic, you can get a personalized venous health evaluation, tour the facilities and meet the staff (feeling comfortable with your NJ vascular doctor and his or her staff is very important), and these days, you can usually get all of your treatment taken care of at this same place. This is an important change from decades past, when you had to go to a hospital or to multiple locations for vein treatments. Now, all the modern procedures can be performed quickly and comfortably on an outpatient basis. Whether you simply want more information or are ready to actually pursue treatment now, you will be very welcome in a local vein center such as Dr. Kabnick’s.

What about family and friends?
One resource to be cautious about is recommendations from friends and family. Friends and family can provide valuable information about how they felt about their vein doctor, how comfortable they were asking questions and how well the doctors answered their questions. But so much has changed so quickly in the world of vein disease treatment, you should probably not rely on family reports of the treatments they had, unless they were very recent (in the last few years). It is better and safer to ask those questions of other patients who have recently had treatments at your local vein center.

So take a look at the information on the Internet and when you’re ready, you can call us at 973-538-2000 to set up an initial appointment. We hope to see you soon.
