Top 7 Qualities of the Best Varicose Vein Center in Suffolk County

#3. Exceptional Vein Doctor

VTC Long Island is led by one of the most exceptional and talented vein doctors on the island — Dr. Kamran Saraf. Until recently, the vein center was led by Dr. Novak, a double board-certified vascular surgeon who currently practices vein treatments in VTC’s office on the north shore of the island. However, Dr. Saraf has already developed a strong reputation as one of the most talented vein specialists in the region. He’s also known for his incredibly compassionate and friendly attitude — he makes his patients feel entirely comfortable during the procedure, explaining each step of the process.

Dr. Saraf also has an exceptional educational and training background. He graduated with Honors from the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Neurophysiology, following which he completed his master’s degree in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University. He completed his medical degree from the University of Miami and his General Surgery training at Texas Medical Center, the largest medical facility in the world. He currently specializes in the latest minimally invasive vein treatments.

#4. Minimally Invasive Treatments

VTC Long Island only provides minimally invasive varicose vein treatments instead of vascular surgery. In 2021, there’s no reason for any vein center to provide complicated, risky, and time-consuming vascular surgeries when readily-available minimally invasive treatments are far more effective, simple, and involve no downtime.

Vein Treatment Clinic takes an incredibly careful and comprehensive approach to vein treatments. The following is an overview of our minimally invasive varicose vein treatment process:

1. We carefully examine your spider veins and varicose veins to determine if you have underlying venous insufficiency. The diagnostic process starts with a detailed consultation followed by advanced vascular imaging tests to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins.
2. The vein doctor discusses your vein treatment options — he highlights the unique pros and cons of all suitable treatments, allowing you to make an informed decision.
3. If you have underlying vein disease, your vein treatment starts with radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or VenaSeal. The vein doctor uses thermal energy, laser energy, or medical adhesives to close the diseased saphenous vein’s walls and reroute the accumulated blood to healthier veins.
4. If you don’t have underlying vein disease, or after the primary treatment, the vein doctor recommends sclerotherapy spider vein treatment for the superficial leg veins left on your skin’s surface. The vein doctor injects a sclerosant solution into the spider veins to fuse their walls and turn them into hardened scar tissues that eventually get absorbed by the body.
5. After the varicose vein treatment, the vein doctor discusses your recovery guidelines, such as wearing compression stockings, and you can resume all your daily activities immediately.

#5. State-of-the-Art Infrastructure

The latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments rely on advanced technologies and equipment. VTC Long Island is outfitted with the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as VNUS, ClariVein, ClosureFAST, etc. The technologies assist in minimally invasive procedures and ensure optimal results without complications or downtime.

#6. Insurance Coverage

Minimally invasive varicose vein treatments are covered by most insurance plans if you have underlying vein disease. Our vein care staff actively helps optimize your insurance coverage to minimize your out-of-pocket burden. We also provide free insurance verification, and the vascular imaging results support your claims, allowing you to receive optimal coverage. We accept all major insurance plans, including Medicare. You may request a free insurance verification before your appointment.

#7. Friendly Staff

Vein Treatment Clinic is led by an incredibly friendly and compassionate staff and vein doctors. We believe your vein treatment experience should be physically and emotionally comfortable. To that end, we answer all your concerns and discuss every step of the vein treatment experience to ensure your comfort.
