Varicose Vein Treatment
Our comprehensive varicose vein treatments utilize endovenous laser therapy and radiofrequency ablation to close malfunctioning veins. These minimally invasive procedures require no hospitalization, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24 hours. Our board-certified specialists create personalized treatment plans based on duplex ultrasound evaluations, addressing both cosmetic concerns and medical symptoms like leg pain and swelling.
Spider Vein Treatments
Targeting small, web-like spider veins through sclerotherapy and transdermal laser treatments, our cosmetic solutions improve skin appearance while maintaining vascular health. These outpatient procedures effectively address discoloration on legs, face, and other areas with minimal discomfort and no downtime, though multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Endovenous Laser Therapy
This advanced treatment uses targeted laser energy to seal problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. Performed under local anesthesia in our office, the procedure takes less than an hour with immediate walking encouraged post-treatment. Patients typically experience symptom relief within two weeks and visible vein reduction over several months.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Combining ultrasound imaging with chemical injections, this technique treats deeper vein issues invisible to the naked eye. The solution causes treated veins to collapse and be reabsorbed naturally. Compression stockings are required post-procedure to optimize results, with follow-up sessions scheduled based on individual progress assessments.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
For surface varicose veins, this procedure removes affected segments through tiny incisions without stitches. Performed under local anesthesia, patients wear compression bandages for one week followed by stockings for three weeks. Most report immediate cosmetic improvement with final results visible after six weeks.

Report
Dr. Smith and his staff (especially Kate and Megan) have gone above and beyond to take care of the problems with the pain caused by the veins in my legs. NEVER RUSHED AND ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. He kept me educated and informed about all the procedures and recovery times. I would recommend this practice in a heartbeat. 5 stars all day long. Thanks Doc!, my legs feel and look great thanks to you and your staff!
