Need a reccommendation: Doctor to give laser treatment to spider veins in Chicago

I recently spoke with a specialist who focuses on vascular diseases and they stated that they don't do laser surgery because they didn't like the results. But a few years back I went to get saline treatments and that doctor told me that with the severity of my spider veins that he thought laser treatment would be the best. So I want a doctor who will get me results and will effectively treat my legs. I live in downtown Chicago. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You may need more than either injections, or laser treatment of your veins, which are superficial in nature.  Often, incompetance of the values of the deep leg veins or between the deep and superfical veins produces varicosities.  These often need to be treated by vein stripping or endovascular laser treatment before superficial therapy.  Neither vein injections or laser therpay for the supericical veins are perfect and each have their place in the treatment of superifical veins. I am sure the Chicago area has experts who are knowledgeable in treatment of all aspects of vein therapy.  Ask you personal physician for a referral.
