Welcome to Virginia Vein Care!
Virginia Vein Care was founded to provide comprehensive treatment of venous disease. With a new location conveniently located across from Tyson’s Galleria, Virginia Vein Care offers patient-oriented state of the art care to patients suffering from varicose veins and all forms of venous disease.
We offer services for both medically necessary and cosmetic problems. If you are suffering from sore, painful legs or perhaps have a “heavy feeling” as if you have been on your feet all day, you may very well have venous reflux disease. In addition, venous reflux disease is responsible for the bulging, twisted veins commonly known as varicose veins. Unsightly spider veins are also a direct consequence of venous reflux disease, also known as venous insufficiency.
Dr. Lawrence Markovitz is a Board Certified Cardiovascular Surgeon with over 18 years experience treating a broad range of cardiac and vascular illnesses. He is the only physician at a vein center in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area who is currently recognized by Washingtonian Magazine and Consumer Check Book as one of the area’s premiere physicians.
Many treatments for varicose veins relieve symptoms without curing the underlying venous reflux disease that causes varicose veins, spider veins and eventually leg ulcers. At Virginia Vein Care, Dr. Markovitz and his knowledgeable staff will determine and discuss with you the best treatment plan needed to eliminate unsightly varicose veins for good.
A comprehensive and painless ultrasound examination is essential to the accurate diagnosis of lower extremity venous disease. Our certified expert ultrasound technicians have years of experience and provide a “roadmap” for the proposed therapy. In the past, the treatment of varicose veins often involved hospitalization and a surgical procedure. This is no longer the case, as Virginia Vein Care now exclusively offers the VNUS ClosureFAST™ procedure, a new minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. The procedure is performed in our office and in most instances patients return to work the very next day. Some patients have even had the procedure performed on their lunch break.
Virginia Vein Care offers Sclerotherapy for the treatment of spider veins. Unsightly and unattractive spider veins are a common manifestation of venous insufficiency disease. While many types of physicians offer care for this condition, without understanding and treatment of the underlying venous insufficiency, the recurrence rate can be unacceptably high. Virginia Vein Care provides Sclerotherapy services as part of our comprehensive and patient-oriented approach to the treatment of venous insufficiency. In most cases, because of the nature of our approach and documentation of medical necessity, our treatments are covered by insurance payers. Unlike other vein practitioners in the Northern Virginia area, Dr. Markovitz has extensive experience with surgery of the heart, blood vessels and saphenous veins. He has performed over five thousand such procedures and is certain the new VNUS ClosureFAST procedure is the absolute best approach for those patients suffering from venous insufficiency.
