We at the Waterford Vein Institute of Hawaii andPacific Rim Cardiovascular know that you have several options as you consider evaluation and treatment for your Vein, Vascular, and/or Cardiothoracic issues, questions, and concerns. 

If you are considering an evaluation for a vein problem, or blood vessel problem, or a problem related to the heart and lungs that might require the involvement of a surgical specialist in this field, I would advise you to do the same thing that those of us in the medical physician (doctors and nurses alike) do when contemplating or seeking medical care:

DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
