At the Vascular Birthmark Institute, expert diagnosis begins with a comprehensive consultation. Led by Dr. Waner and Dr. O, our team evaluates each case precisely through in-office visits, telehealth, or clinical reviews. We collaborate closely with families and physicians to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning for vascular anomalies.
In-Office Clinical Consultations
An in-office consultation at the Vascular Birthmark Institute offers patients and families the opportunity to receive a thorough evaluation in person. During this visit, you or your child will be examined by one of our expert doctors, Dr. Waner or Dr. O, who have decades of combined experience diagnosing and treating vascular anomalies.
These clinical consultations provide a detailed, hands-on assessment of the lesion’s size, color, location, and behavior. By physically examining the condition, our doctors can make immediate observations, answer questions in real time, and begin developing a personalized treatment plan. In-office visits also allow our team to order additional diagnostic tests if necessary.
Telehealth Clinical Consultations
For patients unable to travel to our office, we offer telehealth consultations. This ensures access to world-class care regardless of location. Through secure video conferencing, our doctors can conduct a thorough discussion of your medical history, examine high-resolution images or live video of the lesion, and provide recommendations for diagnosis and next steps.
Telehealth consultations are ideal for families seeking expert insight, second opinions, or follow-up evaluations without needing immediate travel. Every telehealth visit is conducted with the same clinical rigor and personalized attention as an in-office consultation.
Review of Photographs of the Lesion
Photographs are an essential tool in the diagnostic process, especially for remote evaluations or tracking a lesion over time. At the Vascular Birthmark Institute, we encourage patients to submit high-quality images from multiple angles and in consistent lighting. These photographs allow our doctors to assess visible characteristics such as color, size, texture, and changes in appearance, all of which help differentiate between vascular anomalies.
Dr. Waner and Dr. O use these visual references to support both in-office and telehealth consultations. When reviewed alongside medical history and imaging studies, photographs can help form a preliminary diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and determine whether further evaluation is needed. This ensures a complete understanding of each patient’s condition.
Assessment of Clinical Records and Imaging Studies
A thorough review of previous medical records and imaging studies is a vital part of the diagnostic process. Our doctors analyze documentation such as clinical notes, pathology reports, and treatment histories to gain a comprehensive view of the lesion’s development and any interventions attempted. This helps identify patterns, rule out misdiagnoses, and uncover valuable insights.
In addition to clinical records, we evaluate imaging studies such as MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. These provide critical information about the lesion’s depth, involvement with nearby structures, and potential risks. By combining this data with our clinical expertise, Dr. Waner and Dr. O can design a more accurate and individualized treatment strategy.
Coordination of Care With Medical Professionals
At the Vascular Birthmark Institute, we recognize that treating vascular anomalies often requires a multidisciplinary approach. That’s why we collaborate closely with your primary care physician, pediatrician, dermatologist, or other specialists involved in your or your child’s care. This ensures everyone is aligned on the diagnosis, treatment plan, and follow-up strategy.
Dr. Waner and Dr. O routinely share findings, offer guidance, and assist with care coordination to support continuity of care. Whether it involves sharing imaging results, discussing medication management, or preparing for surgery, our team works closely with outside providers to ensure all aspects of care are integrated. This supports the best possible outcomes for our patients.
