One surgeon. One specialty. A million veins of experience.

Dr. Garnet Craddock founded Southern Vein Care in 2009 to give Coweta County a place focused only on veins. Board-certified, trained at the Medical University of South Carolina and Wake Forest, and certified to interpret vascular ultrasound — he personally reviews every study performed in his lab.

Garnet R. Craddock, Jr., MD

A surgeon's hand for a quiet, minimally invasive specialty.

For more than 26 years, Dr. Craddock has been a leader in the Atlanta area in treating vascular disease — and over that career he has treated more than one million veins. In March 2009 he opened Southern Vein Care to offer patients a dedicated treatment center for the painful, often-dismissed conditions of the leg. His vascular ultrasound lab is IAC-accredited, staffed only by registered vascular sonographers, with every study reviewed by Dr. Craddock personally.

The Difference

An accredited lab — not a guess.

What separates Southern Vein Care is the diagnostic standard behind every treatment. The veins you can't see are mapped before anything is touched.

01

IAC-Accredited Vascular Lab

Intersocietal Accreditation Commission standards — the same diagnostic rigor expected of a hospital vascular lab.

02

Registered Sonographers Only

Your ultrasound is performed by registered vascular sonographers — never delegated to untrained staff.

03

Reviewed Personally

Dr. Craddock reviews every study himself. The surgeon reading your scan is the one treating you.

The depth of a million treated veins is what lets us be quiet in the room.
