Greetings!

Welcome to our October 2014 Newsletter! 

Because our patients are so important to us, we want to keep in touch with you while offering helpful information about vein care right here in Columbia, SC.

 
First Impression

In this newsletter and over the next several issues, it will be a privilege to introduce you to our staff. We will be highlighting the person and their job -a virtual stroll through the office to inform you of the professional responsibilities at The Vein Clinic and the caring people who execute them.

 

Melissa Gardner takes her job seriously.

 

"I'm very territorial. I feel as though when a patient walks in the door, I'm welcoming them into my living room."

 

That kind of personal attention is the norm at The Vein Clinic. She is usually the first face you see when you walk in our front door. You won't see a glass-walled partition, but rather a desk to the left of the foyer. Melissa greets you and asks you to sign in. She will collect your insurance information and escort you to the living /waiting room area. She will ask you to fill out a medical form and offer you coffee or water at the beverage center. She's available for any and all questions and understands you might be a little nervous and does her best to assure you we are there to help.

 

"I love talking to people...I thrive on it really. I've been working here almost nine years now and I enjoy so much meeting the patients. I've made lasting friendships with many of them."

 

A Raleigh/Wilmington North Carolina native Melissa came to Columbia several years ago to help care for her mother.

 

"I have experience in the medical field as well as sales and marketing. I worked at Providence Hospital while I went to nursing school and had exposure to caring for stroke patients. When my mother had one it seemed obvious that as an only child I would stay to help her."

 

She brings that kind, ministering manner into play at The Vein Clinic.

 

"We have an amazing staff here and we are all committed to making a patient's visit as easy as possible."

 

So when you walk in the front door of our office, Melissa is there to give you the best first impression of the practice. She's usually at work before everyone else in the morning. She turns on the lights, fluffs the pillows and brews a pot of coffee. She organizes the charts, waters the potted plant outside and is ready to greet and guide the first patient who arrives. She admits it feels like opening her home to guests.

 

"I have a lot of pride in what I do and I know how I want to be treated at a doctor's office. If I can make a patient feel more comfortable and at ease, then I'm doing my job right."

Our last monthly screening in September was well attended, so much so we have scheduled another on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at our office, 1725 Devonshire Drive in Columbia. The screening is free and appointments can be made for the hours between 8:30 am and 6 pm.

Call us today at 803-253-8667 and we will be happy to set up an appointment. No doctor referrals necessary.

 

Please feel free to forward this email to a friend or family member who may be experiencing vein problems or leg pain.

 

Bring/wear shorts or a skirt. Light fare will be provided. During your screening, if we determine that you have venous reflux, most varicose vein procedures are typically covered by your medical insurance; if not, affordable plans are available.

  

Dr. Neal Reynolds and his experienced staff can determine if you have venous reflux. Venous reflux is a medical condition, not just cosmetic, and venous disease can become a more serious condition when left untreated. 

Call him today at 803-253-8667
