A doctor’s assessment of a vascular issue—quickly and free of charge

Varicose veins, pain, swelling, spider veins. Intermittent limping. Other vascular conditions. Let’s figure this out together—do you need treatment or surgery?

My name is Konstantin Mazaishvili, and I am a vascular surgeon. An important question: why am I answering for free? The answer is simple: I myself once moved to Israel with my wife, five children, and my seventy-year-old mother, and faced the same issue as many others: if you need a consultation with a specialist, it’s hard to get an appointment, and you have to wait for months. But in most cases, people don’t need urgent treatment. They need to understand how serious the situation is. As a vascular surgeon, I see the same problem over and over: people either put off important matters, or worry for no reason. That’s why I created this format:

or worry for no reason. That’s why I created this format: You can describe your situation on WhatsApp, and I’ll let you know whether you need to take immediate action or if you can safely wait your turn. If treatment is necessary, we’ll discuss it separately. If not, you’ll simply save yourself time and stress.

Even if your legs just hurt and you don’t know what to do or who to contact, you can ask questions to a vascular surgeon via WhatsApp, send photos of your legs, Doppler, duplex and other vascular examination results.

It is important to note: online consultation is not a formal consultation and our answers cannot be a final conclusion. We do not set ourselves the task of making a diagnosis at a distance, our goal is to show you the right way to get rid of health problems.
