MEET OUR DOCTORS
Our vein specialists are not your average doctors. They vein train and teach other doctors, medical students, physician assistants, and empower and educate patients everyday with knowledge and choices. They lead clinical research studies and contribute to scientific journal and textbook publications. Our recent research made the cover of the “Journal for Vascular Ultrasound” in March, 2018. Our doctors continuously strive to elevate the standard in vein care- they are fellowship-trained, board certified in venous and lymphatic disease, and earned additional credentials in ultrasound interpretation to provide comprehensive vein care for all patients.

OUR HEALTH SERVICES
Varicose Veins:
Varicose veins are the twisted, bulging veins just beneath the surface of the skin. They are a result of leaky vein valves. Varicose Veins can often be progressive and worsens over time. The presence of varicose veins may indicate and underlying vein condition called venous insufficiency.
At La Jolla Vein Care the treatment step recommendation is customized, based on where reflux is present and other clinical factors. We offer multiple treatment options that our vascular specialists will review with you in detail to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your treatment process.
Spider Veins:
Spider veins and reticular veins of the legs are most commonly treated with sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a medication into the vein. This will cause the vein to collapse and gradually fade away.
La Jolla Vein Care and Vascular Imaging Center utilizes advanced imaging machines that look for vascular diseases that may affect how well blood flows in the arteries and veins. As an accredited Vein Center, we are expanding our services in vascular imaging to offer comprehensive diagnostic vascular testing. Our laboratory is accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for Vascular Testing.
