Specialty
Vein & Vascular
Varicose veins, spider veins, heavy aching legs and skin changes — treated with the latest minimally invasive techniques, right in our North Bergen OBL.
Veins return blood from your legs to your heart against gravity, with tiny one-way valves. When those valves leak, blood pools — causing the bulging, aching, itching, swelling and skin changes most people associate with “varicose veins.”
Modern vein care is nothing like the vein stripping of decades ago. With a tiny catheter under ultrasound guidance, we can close failing veins using heat (laser/RF), glue (VenaSeal), foam (sclerotherapy) or a hybrid (ClariVein) — typically in 30–60 minutes, with zero downtime. Insurance covers it when symptoms are documented.

A predictable four-step path — no guesswork, no months of waiting between appointments.
Vascular exam, ABI and on-site imaging — usually completed in one visit.
A coordinated written plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Minimally invasive treatment in our OBL, under local anesthesia.
Structured follow-ups, surveillance imaging and risk-factor coaching.
Real, specific answers from our team. If your question is not here, our front desk can usually answer it in a 5-minute phone call.
Often it’s medically necessary — for aching, swelling, skin changes or ulcer prevention. Cosmetic spider-vein treatment is also available, with clear pricing.
Most patients feel only the small local-anesthetic stick. The actual treatment is a feeling of pressure or warmth and typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Most patients walk out and resume normal activity the same day. We recommend daily walking, compression for a week or two, and avoiding heavy lifting for 48 hours.
The treated vein is permanently closed. New veins can develop over years from the same underlying valve issue — annual ultrasound checks let us catch and treat anything new while it’s small.
Yes for symptomatic veins (aching, swelling, skin changes, ulcers) — Medicare and most commercial plans cover diagnostic ultrasound and treatment. Cosmetic-only spider veins are out-of-pocket.
It depends on the size, depth and location of the failing vein. A 20-minute ultrasound map lets us recommend the gentlest effective option for your anatomy.
Names changed where requested. Every quote below comes from a patient seen at one of our Hudson County locations.
“My legs ached every night for years. Two months after the procedure I’d forgotten what that felt like.”
“I went in worried about a long recovery. I walked out, drove home, and was back at work the next morning.”
“The skin discoloration on my ankle faded over six months. The team kept checking in — it never felt rushed.”
A 20-minute vein-mapping ultrasound shows you exactly what’s causing the symptoms — and how comfortably we can fix it.
