When becoming a doctor, Dr. Thomas Eidson decided to specialize—and then specialize again. He narrowed his scope from family medicine to venous and lymphatic medicine, and from there he focused specifically on evaluating and treating vein problems of the legs.
Even with all his expertise, Dr. Eidson takes care to communicate with patients at their level. “My goal is not to speak jargon at you,” he said. He spends time with each patient, making sure they understand their unique condition and explaining the options available for treatment. He and his team of experts at Atlas Vein Care in Arlington use their prowess along with advanced, state-of-the-art equipment to provide personalized, compassionate care.
Doctors like Dr. Eidson who specialize in vein care are called Phlebologists. They understand that vein issues are extremely common and can be caused by genetics, weight changes, pregnancy, or spending large amounts of time stationary, such as sitting or standing for your job. They also understand how vital vein health is to overall health, and even vein issues that are considered cosmetic can be signs that veins are having trouble doing their important job of transporting oxygen and vital nutrients to the organs and systems of the body.
Many vein issues can be traced to a condition called Venous Reflux. The symptoms of Venous Reflux varied and include varicose veins and spider veins, leg and ankle swelling, skin discoloration, leg pain, leg fatigue, night cramps, restless leg syndrome, and open skin wounds and ulcers on the legs. Even if a patient experiences just one of these symptoms, there’s a possibility they suffer from Venous Reflux. Left untreated, this condition worsens and leads to increased discomfort and further complications. Fortunately, a simple, painless ultrasound at Atlas Vein Care can determine the scope of the problem. In just an hour, Dr. Eidson can provide feedback on the results and work with his patient to make a plan.
Dr. Eidson loves helping patients get back to symptom-free living, and he’s passionate about providing the safest, most advanced care to those suffering from vein issues. His patients appreciate his effectiveness and the Arlington community voted him “best vein doctor in Arlington, Texas” four years in a row.
He shares his knowledge with the medical community by speaking at local and statewide medical conferences. He also supports aspiring doctors by mentoring young people interested in medicine and by opening the doors of Atlas Vein Care to serve as a rotation site for medical students.
Dr. Eidson was born and raised in Arlington. He enjoys spending time with his wife and family, volunteering at his church, fishing, hunting, and, of course, using his expertise to provide hope and healing to people in his community.
