Our Practice
Our History
From Boca Vein Center to the Kimmel Institute
After more than two decades of serving the community as a Thoracic and Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Kimmel now devotes all of his experience to provide the highest quality of vein and aesthetic care in Boca Raton. This has resulted in an expansive growth of the practice, yet he is still able to offer personalized boutique-like care to each patient.
Dr. Kimmel began the focused transformation when he saw the need in the Boca Raton area for an experienced vascular surgeon to help treat abnormal veins and in 2012 evolved from The Boca Vein Center into The Kimmel Institute. Now located in central Boca Raton, The Kimmel Institute is known to be the premier center for vein care.
Many doctors claim to be ‘experts’ but few are board certified vascular surgeons with the experience and technical skills needed to provide exceptional vein care.
Vein Treatments
For varicose, reticular, and spider veins
Dr. Kimmel and his staff are committed to treating their patients’ vein problems and laser aesthetic needs in a professional, friendly and safe office setting.
At the Kimmel Institute, we use the best technology and procedures to insure the optimal results. We have multiple laser platforms to treat a variety of vein and aesthetic conditions. These lasers are used to treat many different types of vein problems, including varicose veins, venous insufficiency and cosmetic spider veins throughout the body. We also have very extensive experience with injection sclerotherapy for the face, chest and legs. Hand veins are easily treated in the office, too, with excellent results to improve ‘old looking hands’.
The Kimmel Institute is a designated training center for physicians (and their office staff) for vein treatments and vein center management. Kimmel Institute can help with all of your vein needs including stockings, supplements, free screening evaluations and diagnostic ultrasound studies.
Aesthetics Services
Using the latest in laser technology
Because of the many requests that our patients have made, we have continued to meet the needs of our community by expanding our services. As we have become the premiere center for vein treatment in the area, we also offer the same exceptional level of care for the treatment of many additional aesthetic conditions.
These include the treatment of hyper pigmented lesions (also known as brown or sun spots), laser hair removal, stretch mark reduction, wrinkle treatment (sometimes known as photo facials) and scar reduction. Very good outcomes can also be seen in patients with acne scarring and Rosacea. Our aesthetic team uses the Palomar/Cynosure laser system, the Rejuvapen microneedling system and the Diamond Tome microdermabrasion system for optimal results.

They will educate you with the procedure options and recommend what is best for you. This was my first vein surgery and if I need any additional procedures in the future I will be calling the Kimmel Institute.”
Sara B.
“For many years I treated the same spider veins on my legs with no success. Since I was 18 I have been doing sclerotherapy and once I met Dr. Kimmel 5 years ago, I found out that I had an underlying cause called venous insufficiency and that it was only going to get worse. I had the proper treatment with excellent care and my legs not only feel better but look better! Thank you Dr. Kimmel!”
