Experts in Varicose Spider Vein Treatment
We are featured in San Diego Magazine’s TOP DOC Issue
We wrote the book on veins, literally!
The Vein Book is still a must-have for vascular surgeons, phlebologists, interventional radiologists, research scientists, epidemiologists, and surgeons at all levels.
Since its initial publication nearly a decade ago, The Vein Book continues to serve as the ultimate comprehensive resource on venous disease. Upholding its reputation as the go-to reference for complete, authoritative, and up-to-date information about venous function and dysfunction, this second edition effectively bridges the gap between clinical medicine and basic science, suitable both for the seasoned surgeon as well as the medical student.
Want treatment options? We are the only San Diego Vein Center that offers all available treatment methods for varicose veins.
We can choose the vein treatment type that is best for the patient, rather than what is available.
