NOVI, Mich. (November 17, 2014) – Miller Vein, Metro-Detroit’s premier medical office for varicose and spider vein treatment, has been recognized as one of Michigan’s “Coolest Places to Work” by Crain’s Detroit Business magazine. The “Cool Places” distinction was designed to identify and honor the best employers in Michigan, benefiting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses.

“After screening potential new hires and insuring they are the best and brightest, we try our very best to employ only the most kind, caring and compassionate people,” said Founder Jeffrey H. Miller, M.D. “I consider myself extremely lucky to work with such amazing people. They created this cool place!”

Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Cool Places to Work in Michigan. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Crain’s Detroit Business runs the “Cool Places to Work” program in conjunction with the Best Companies Group, a specialist in employee surveys and analysis.

The rankings and profiles of the 2014 Cool Places to Work were published on November 17, 2014 by Crain’s Detroit Business. The full list can be found at www.crainsdetroit.com/cool.

Miller Vein First to Perform FDA-Approved Varithena® Treatment in Midwest, A Nonsurgical Solution to Treat Varicose Veins

Miller Vein, Metro-Detroit’s premier vein clinic, will now offer patients Varithena® as a treatment option for varicose veins. Jeffrey H. Miller, MD and his staff performed the first treatment in the Midwest on Friday, August 22, 2014. Currently, Varithena® (polidocanol injectable foam) is the only FDA-approved foam treatment for varicose veins in the great saphenous vein (GSV) system of the leg.

Varithena® improves symptoms related to or caused by varicose veins, and the appearance of varicose veins. Symptoms include leg heaviness, achiness, swelling, itchiness and restless legs. Varithena® is the latest treatment from BTG International Inc., a healthcare company based out of Pennsylvania. The treatment doesn’t require any incisions or local anesthesia and the procedure takes less than an hour. Varithena® should improve safety, because the medicine is made with carbon dioxide, which is more physiologic than room air.

“While Varithena® is a modification of procedures we already perform, I think it’s a great step forward in treating vein disorders,” says Dr. Miller. Miller Vein offers several types of treatment for varicose veins including endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, endovenous chemical ablation, mechanico-chemical ablation and microphlebectomy. Treatment with Varithena® will now add another option for Miller Vein patients suffering from varicose veins. Miller Vein also provides treatment for spider veins, facial veins, rosacea and a number of venous conditions.

Miller Vein has established itself as Metro Detroit’s premier medical office for the treatment of varicose and spider veins. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology in a world-class medical facility, Miller Vein offers the latest in medical care for the vein patient.
