OUR PROVIDERS

Our Team

To achieve the best long-term results, each patient should also be evaluated by an entire practice that is dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of lower-extremity venous disorders—including a physician, registered vascular technologists, nurse practitioners, nurses and other professionals.

Our top priority is offering patients the care they need in a comfortable, compassionate and professional environment.

Jon Christian Allmon, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Emeritus Physicians

Robert G. Ellison, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S.

FOUNDER, ELLISON VEIN INSTITUTE

“As a vascular surgeon, I often saw that patients with varicose veins would be put on the ‘back burner’ for more pressing, life-threatening problems. It became obvious to me that patients with varicose veins deserve not just a physician but an entire practice totally dedicated to the treatment of their problems. I strongly believe that physicians should not dabble in the treatment of varicose veins. They need to have the training, armamentarium and the ability to offer the patient the precise treatment they need.”
