If you are an existing patient of ours, you may have noticed that Empire Vein Specialists now has a brand new name. From now on, we will be called Empire Vein and Vascular Specialists. We want to explain a bit more about this change, our rebrand, what it means for you, and how it will allow us to continue to provide the high-quality care you expect and expand our offerings.
Reason for the Rebrand
Our team has performed vein procedures in the Inland Empire since 2016 as Empire Vein Specialists. During this time, we recognized the need for additional vascular surgery services, beyond just vein procedures, in the Inland Empire. There is a surging population in this area but a surprising lack of board-certified vascular specialists.
With this rebrand, we are merging Empire Vein Specialists and Desert Vein and Vascular Institute into one brand, which will now be called Empire Vein and Vascular Specialists. This will allow us to expand our services by incorporating the 15 years of vascular surgery experience of the Desert Vein and Vascular team into our practice.
We will also begin to expand our new comprehensive vein and vascular surgery services to include the Coachella Valley and the Inland Empire, so it made sense to rebrand the whole practice now.
What’s New?
Patients should be excited about having state-of-the-art vascular surgery services in the Inland Empire, beyond what we could offer as Empire Vein Specialists. We will now also perform aortic aneurysm repair, carotid artery stenosis treatment, interventions for peripheral arterial disease, as well as dialysis/fistula surgery and maintenance. Empire Vein and Vascular Specialists will be a one-stop shop for all things vascular.
We will also offer brand new services, including minimally invasive TCAR treatment for carotid surgery and genicular artery embolization treatment for knee arthritis. Stay tuned for more information on these procedures.
We already have six offices in the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley, but we plan to continue to expand. Most of our locations in the Inland Empire will remain the same, but we are currently planning a new office in Redlands, CA.
What’s Staying the Same?
While our name and services might be different, we are still committed to providing the excellent, state-of-the-art care for vascular disease you have come to expect from our team. Our core value is not just to treat vascular disease but also to improve our patient’s health status by working together to come up with a custom treatment plan for each individual.
When it comes to pricing and insurance, this will mostly remain the same. Over 98% of our patients are covered by insurance. Therefore, there will not be any change to their treatment costs.
Patient Benefits
The goal of our rebrand is to improve the patient experience by offering additional services our patients need and request. Not only are we adding vascular services, but we will also expand the availability of our minimally invasive treatments to a whole new patient population in the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley.
The rebrand includes a new website as well. Patients will be given access to the upgraded site, which will provide more information about the care team, available treatment options, and an upgraded patient portal. We want our site to be your go-to source for information about vascular and vein treatments.
