Center for Vein Care & Surgery

Dr. Robert Edwards has been providing vein care in Georgia since 2006.  He is the Director of the Center for Vein Care and Surgery of Horizons Diagnostics, LLC. He is pleased to offer the VNUS Closure® Procedure, an alternative treatment option to traditional vein stripping surgery of the legs. Dr. Edwards has successfully performed over 3000 VNUS Closure procedures with excellent results.

The Closure procedure is a clinically proven, minimally invasive way to treat venous reflux, the underlying cause of varicose veins of the legs, with little or no pain. Closure patients can return to everyday activities within a day. The Closure procedure is performed in the doctors' office and is covered by most insurance providers. In addition, Sclerotherapy treatments are available to help resolve small unsightly spider veins.
