Expertise You Can Trust, Care You Can Feel

For many patients, leg swelling, visible veins, or restless legs are brushed aside as “just part of getting older.” Even in clinical settings, venous disease can be easy to overlook because medical training understandably focuses more heavily on arterial conditions. Yet chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), when left untreated, can quietly progress, sometimes leading to painful skin changes or hard-to-heal ulcers that affect daily life far more than patients ever expected.

That’s where Florida Lakes Vein Center (FLVC) in Lakewood Ranch comes in. Led by Dr. T.C. Lackey II, a nationally recognized educator and trainer in advanced non-thermal treatments such as Varithena and VenaSeal, FLVC brings both leading-edge expertise and a deeply personal approach to vein care. Referring providers and concerned loved ones can feel confident knowing that the same physician teaching these techniques nationwide is the one who will personally evaluate and treat the patient.

Care at FLVC begins with time and attention. Every patient receives a thorough, one-on-one evaluation that considers their symptoms, anatomy, and lifestyle—not just what appears on an ultrasound. Some arrive struggling with restless nights, others with swelling or discomfort that limits movement. Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to restore comfort, mobility, and confidence.

Many patients come to Florida Lakes Vein Center after less-than-ideal experiences elsewhere. What they often notice immediately is the difference: thoughtful care, clear explanations, and treatments designed to be minimally invasive with little disruption to daily life.

For referring physicians, FLVC functions as a true clinical partner. Communication is clear and consistent, with regular updates provided to support continuity of care. Families and friends, meanwhile, can trust that their loved ones are being treated with respect, patience, and genuine compassion. As a privately owned practice, FLVC prioritizes relationships and outcomes over volume or quotas.

For those unsure whether vein disease is part of the problem, Florida Lakes Vein Center offers free vein screenings—a simple first step that provides clarity and direction. The practice offers more than treatment; it provides reassurance, expertise, and a team that truly listens—every step of the way. Learn more at floridalakesveincenter.com.
