Do you experience discomfort, swelling & varicose veins?

If so, you may be suffering from superficial venous reflux disease. Traditionally, patients diagnosed with venous reflux would undergo vein stripping surgery. Now, patients can be treated at Staten Island Physician Practice with the VNUS Closure procedure — a minimally invasive and more comfortable alternative to painful vein stripping surgery.

Are You a Candidate?

Many factors contribute to the presence of venous reflux disease, including:

  • Age

  • Gender

  • Family History

  • Pregnancy

  • Obesity

  • Standing profession

    • Using ultrasound to scan your leg(s), our physicians will determine if superficial venous reflux is present.
