The Vein Center of Maryland

Do you have pain and swelling in your legs? Leg heaviness, fatigue, or cramping? Itching and burning. Varicose veins or leg ulcers?
If so, you may have superficial venous reflux disease.

Symptoms will worsen over time if left untreated. We offer procedures which are minimally invasive including endovenous laser ablation, radio-frequency ablation, and micro-injection sclerotherapy.The ablation procedures and microinjection sclerotherapy normally result in good cosmetic outcome with minimal to no scarring, bruising or swelling.

We can significantly improve the appearance of your legs while eliminating bulging, painful, and unsightly veins. The first step is a consultation visit with our experienced physicians.

The first step is a consultation visit with our experienced physicians. We will thoroughly evaluate your leg veins using Duplex Ultrasound to diagnose venous disease. The ultrasound will also inform us as to which method of treatment would be most effective for your individual case. Based on your particular venous disease and the ultrasound results, the physician will discuss your candidacy for the laser ablation and other treatment options and the most effective procedure to resolve the problem.

All of our procedures are office/out-patient procedures. Venous disease is serious. Most medically indicated procedures are covered by health insurance.
