Our status as a training center for surgeons nationwide further demonstrates our commitment to excellence in vascular health.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We understand that varicose veins and spider veins aren’t just cosmetic concerns; they can cause real discomfort and affect your quality of life. Conditions like chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis require expert care to restore proper blood flow. Our team approaches each patient with empathy, taking time to listen to your specific symptoms and concerns. From your first free screening through your personalized treatment plan, we focus on clear communication and comprehensive care.
Our minimally invasive procedures ensure faster recovery times with excellent results. Additionally, we offer flexible scheduling to ensure that quality vein care is accessible when you need it.
Understanding Your Vein Health
Many patients wonder about the causes behind their vein issues. Venous reflux occurs when the one-way valves in your veins malfunction, causing blood to flow backward in your legs instead of returning properly to your heart. This leads to increased pressure in the blood vessels, resulting in varicose veins, spider veins, leg swelling, and leg pain. Left untreated, these conditions can progress to more serious vein disease. At the Kimmel Institute, our diagnosis begins with a thorough examination of your symptoms. Dr. Kimmel and our specialized medical team will discuss treatment options that may include minimally invasive procedures, lifestyle modifications like regular exercise, or compression stockings for symptom management.
We take pride in providing painless, effective treatments that address both the appearance of your veins and the underlying health concerns, giving you relief from discomfort and improving your quality of life. Schedule your appointment online today and take the first step toward healthier legs.
