Note individual results may vary secondary to different conditions of the skin and personalized treatment plans. Each treatment outcome may vary by patient in terms of overall outcomes and duration or length of results.

Venous Medicine

Venous Medicine Venous insufficiency occur when surface veins have trouble sending blood up to the heart from the feet and legs. While arteries get help from the pumping heart, veins push blood — against gravity — using a series of valves. Blood pooling in the veins increases pressure and stretches the veins that may result in venous reflux that can lead to development of spider, reticular, and varicose veins visible below the skin.

Factors that may increase pressure in the veins include family history, overweight or obesity, advanced age, female gender, immobility or inactivity with prolonged standing or sitting, leg injury, pregnancy, smoking, history of blood clots, or taking oral contraceptive pills or hormone replacement therapy.

Venous Medicine Symptoms may include sensations in the leg, such as burning, throbbing, aching, and/or or heaviness, color changes in the skin, and swelling. Long-term symptoms may progress to increasing leg discomfort, ulcers and non-healing sores, and more serious complications with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) formation.

Note individual results may vary secondary to different venous reflux conditions and treatment plans. Each treatment outcome may vary by patient in terms of overall outcomes and duration or length of results.

I have seen a number of medical and surgical specialists over the past ten years and Dr. Huang-Lionnet’s attention to detail, technical skills, patience and understanding far surpass that of other physicians. She truly takes her time to listen to my medical history and needs and asks thorough questions while providing her medical expertise along the way. Her treatment plans have achieved the best results BY FAR. I highly recommend Dr. Huang-Lionnet - she is absolutely a wonderful physician.

A deep understanding of and contribution to the research ensure her practice is resolutely grounded in the most current procedures. An analytical diagnosis, systematic planning, responsiveness to patient feedback, and unwavering kindness are hallmarks of Dr. Huang Lionnet’s patient care. Truly a remarkable physician.
Dr. Julie Huang is the Miracle Worker at Greenwich Hospital's Pain Management Center. Last year, she made my wife, Barbara's, long troubling back pain, to now be pain-free, and normal again. And now, Dr. Huang is making Barbara's troubling right knee, also pain-free. Dr. Huang, and her very professional and very welcoming staff, create the pain-free miracle and experience, you are looking for.
I was referred to Dr. Huang after the physician administering trigger point injections for over three years was unable to control my pain. Since day one, Dr. Huang has been professional and courteous and always concerned about how the procedures she provides are helping control my pain. I have always felt Dr. Huang is totally committed to helping and caring for her patients. I would never consider another pain management doctor and always tell friends, family, and acquaintances about her.
Dr Huang is a fabulous pain management specialist-She listens, understands your issues, and develops a successful plan of treatment! I am very fortunate to be under her care!!

I was privileged to work with Dr Huang in New York and have not found a better practitioner. In an industry where revenue and numbers are at the forefront, Dr Huang maintains superior principles by PUTTING PATIENTS FIRST! Of the countless times, my most treasured is Dr Huang taking the time to defy the odds against a patient, who was told she had months to live. The patient seemed to have lost all hope. Dr Huang's perseverance, dedication, high quality care gave them a second chance. Thank you!

I have had 4 spinal fusions and they have left me with back pain caused mainly because of scar tissue. Dr Huang has been doing nerve ablations to try to relieve the pain. We have not finished the treatment, but so far, I am finally getting some pain relief.

The care and concern by Dr. Huang is outstanding. Her medical and office staff are probably the best I have dealt with.

We went to Dr. Huang when the cancer pain of my sister became unbearable during her second round of chemotherapy. From the beginning, Dr. Huang was attentive and listened to my sister's needs and my observations on how she was feeling and handling the pain. She was thorough with her explanations of the various pain medications and procedures available and always included my sister and me in the decision making in managing her pain. She definitely placed her patients first. Staff was great.

I've had such a positive experience with Dr. Huang! She's professional, knowledgeable, but most importantly, listens. Dr. Huang addressed my pain individually, instead of a one size fits all approach. I am so grateful I was referred to her practice!
Dr. Julie Huang is so excellent in her quality of pain management treatments as well her lovely and opportune attention she provide to all her patients. I was so thankful of been treated by her. May God always bless her.

Dr. Huang has been treating my husband for chronic back pain for some time now, and a more caring and capable physician you would be hard-pressed to find. She has been persistent and very helpful with his complicated back issues, and frankly, I do not know what we would have done without her able assistance.
