An angiologist is a physician specialized in the circulatory system: veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels outside the heart.
They diagnose and treat circulation problems ranging from varicose veins to arterial blockages that can put a limb at risk.
The angiologist examines your legs, checks your pulses, and looks at swelling or skin changes.
They may order a Doppler ultrasound, a non-invasive study that shows how blood flows through your veins and arteries.
Based on the result, they'll explain whether treatment involves compression measures, medication, or a procedure.
