The Columbia Vein Program offers comprehensive care for a full range of vein disorders and diseases, from cosmetic concerns to the most serious health emergencies. Unlike private centers that solely focus on cosmetic concerns or early vein problems, our surgeons are experts in the full range of treatments, including the most serious forms of vein disease, such as ulcers, bleeding, or blood clots.
In addition to the most advanced techniques available today, we offer the breadth and depth of expertise found only in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team approach at an academic center.
What sets us apart
- We regularly conduct clinical trials of all the newest vein therapies
- The most advanced therapies are available at our program before other centers in the country, and at times, the world
- Superior outcomes reflect the expertise of our surgeons, many of whom have who either developed or improved minimally invasive venous techniques and now teach them to other surgeons
About Vein Disease
Diseases and disorders of the veins affect an estimated 80 million Americans, or about 40% of women and 20% of men overall. While disease of the small veins may not pose a health risk, diseases of the larger veins can be serious or even life-threatening. Serious vein disease can be present without significant symptoms.
Patients with any signs of vein disease, or with vein disease who have had complications such as phlebitis, bleeding, ulcers, or blood clots, should be evaluated for treatment in order to prevent progression to more dangerous forms of disease.

Program Highlights
Comprehensive Evaluation
Patients receive a comprehensive evaluation: physical examination, family history, and if appropriate, non-invasive ultrasound testing. Based on the results of these evaluations, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
Most procedures are performed in a minimally invasive manner, without cuts or stitches, using local anesthesia or mild sedation. Most patients return home the day of treatment and can resume normal activities in a day or so.
A Multidisciplinary Team of Experts
We bring together different specialists from across Columbia to provide the highest level of care. Our team includes vein specialists, vascular technologists, and specially trained physician assistants.
