The NYU VEIN CENTER comprises seven vascular surgeons, offering expert care for the treatment of varicose veins. All of our surgeons stress the minimally invasive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins. As part of the NYU Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, we are called upon to teach our techniques to other surgeons around the world.

All of our surgeons are committed to improving the care of patients with venous disease through their clinical practices, research endeavors and educational commitments.
