The vein doctors mentioned above are all affiliated with the VIP Medical Group, the country’s leading collective of board-certified vein doctors and vein clinics. We have extremely strict requirements when selecting vein doctors for our state-of-the-art vein clinics. We only select vein doctors from the country’s leading medical institutions, including Harvard Medical School. Our vein doctors must also have completed prestigious residency and fellowship programs in subjects related to minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein treatments.
Our vein doctors also undergo board certification from the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. Board certification isn’t necessary to practice vein care, but it helps distinguish the best vein doctors. To get board-certified by ABVLM, vein doctors must have stellar credentials and educational backgrounds, and they must have a proven track record with minimally invasive vein treatments. Furthermore, vein doctors must stay abreast of the latest developments in vein care to retain their certification.
Our vein doctors in Long Island are some of the best vein experts in the country. They meet all of the requirements mentioned above, and they undergo ongoing training to stay abreast of the latest developments in vein care. As such, when you visit our state-of-the-art spider vein and varicose vein clinics, your vein treatments will be handled by the most reliable vein doctors in Long Island.
Our vein doctors follow an extremely unique, straightforward, and streamlined vein treatment process. We aim to identify and treat the root cause of your vein problems, chronic venous insufficiency, rather than just the superficial symptoms. Treating spider veins and varicose veins without identifying and addressing the root cause is a wasted endeavor — the spider veins will continue returning because of the damaged veins underneath. We favor a comprehensive vein care approach that ensures long-lasting results.
During your initial consultation, the vein doctor examines your leg veins, reviews your medical history, and discusses your symptoms. The vein doctor also performs thorough ultrasound scans to visualize the direction of blood flow in your leg veins, thereby confirming if you have chronic venous insufficiency. Diagnosing vein disease allows the vein doctor to curate a suitable vein treatment plan meant just for you.
If you have chronic venous insufficiency, your vein treatment plan may start with radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or venaseal. These procedures have the same underlying goal — they collapse or seal the diseased vein, allowing the accumulated blood to reroute into healthier leg veins. However, different vein treatments accomplish this goal using different techniques, such as thermal energy (radiofrequency ablation), laser energy (endovenous laser ablation), or medical adhesives (venaseal).
If you don’t have chronic venous insufficiency or after the primary vein treatment, the vein doctor may remove superficial varicose veins and spider veins. Ambulatory phlebectomy involves the physical extraction of varicose veins through small incisions on the skin’s surface. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosant medicine into the spider veins to fuse their walls shut, turning them into hardened scar tissues eventually metabolized by the body.
Minimally invasive vein treatments usually conclude within an hour with no downtime. After the vein treatment, your vein doctor may discuss your recovery guidelines, such as wearing compression stockings, and you can resume your daily activities immediately.
