Patient Care

STONY BROOK VEIN CENTER

The Stony Brook Vein Center provides treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous thrombosis, pelvic venous incompetence, varicose and spider veins, and venous ulcerations — in a pleasant, convenient, outpatient setting. Our vein specialists are board-certified vascular surgeons and members of our full-time faculty.

Our specialists use the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat varicose veins and spider veins of the leg, including new minimally-invasive "endovenous" techniques that let patients get back to their normal activities in usually just a couple of days. No general anesthesia or hospitalization is required.

Our physicians are dedicated to giving patients the care they need to have legs that not only feel better but look better, too. Restoring legs to their healthy, pain-free, good looks is what we do with pride.

Gasparis, both vascular surgeons and vein specialists, working together at the Vein Center.Our specialists provide care that's tailored to each patient's individual needs. We use the latest technology available for the treatment of varicose veins, including radiofrequency ablation (known as RFA or Closure), laser ablation, and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. These resources enable our physicians to select the best treatment option for each individual patient.

Antonios P. Gasparis, MD, assistant professor of surgery and director of the Vein Center, says: "We are dedicated to providing the most advanced treatment options for venous disease. People seek treatment to eliminate their painful leg symptoms or to improve their leg appearance. Our goal is to address both."
