When looking for spider vein doctors, you must look for phlebologists with 5-star ratings from patients. Lacking a central agency that ranks vein doctors, the only objective means of assessing a vein doctor’s skills and qualities is through their track record and patient experience. Dr. Kamran Saraf has perfect 5-star ratings and reviews from all his patients, evidence of his flawless track record and exceptional standards of patient care.
Dr. Saraf is uniquely suited to treat spider veins because he focuses on holistic treatments. Instead of performing a simple spider vein removal, he investigates the root cause of your spider veins to provide lasting relief. As such, patients consulting Dr. Saraf have a negligible risk of recurrence after their spider vein removal — the same can’t be said for patients seeking treatment from medical spas or other inexperienced vein doctors.

Spider Vein Removal Process
Dr. Kamran Saraf and Dr. Caroline Novak follow a unique 5-step spider vein removal process that ensures complete comfort and relief with no complications and negligible risk of recurrence. Most medical spas and vein doctors merely treat the visible spider veins — a simple cosmetic procedure that concludes within 30 minutes. However, spider veins are often indicative of underlying venous insufficiency, a medical condition wherein the collapse of your vein valves makes blood accumulate in your leg veins. Without addressing the root cause of spider veins, there’s a strong chance that your problems may return. However, Dr. Saraf and Dr. Novak always address the underlying vein disease before proceeding with spider vein removal.
The following is an overview of our 5-star spider vein removal process:
- Diagnosis: Examine the leg veins to identify the signs and symptoms of vein disease, such as leg heaviness, restless legs syndrome, spider veins, varicose veins, swelling, etc. Discuss your symptoms and medical history, and administer a vascular imaging test to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins.
- Treatment Plan: Curate a minimally invasive treatment plan to address the root cause of your spider veins. The treatment plan is always curated according to your unique needs, goals, insurance coverage, and lifestyle.
- Primary Vein Treatment: Radiofrequency ablation and VenaSeal are the ideal primary vein treatments. These minimally invasive procedures close the diseased saphenous vein responsible for all your vein problems, including spider veins. Once the underlying vein disease is addressed, we can remove the spider veins.
- Spider Vein Removal: We use ambulatory phlebectomy to remove the superficial varicose veins bulging out from the skin’s surface. And we use sclerotherapy to remove the spider veins from the skin’s surface. Sclerotherapy injects a medicine into the spider veins to make them shrink and fade away from the skin.
- Recovery: You can resume all your daily activities immediately after the vein treatment — no downtime. Our vein doctor will discuss some post-treatment guidelines and let you resume your daily activities.
