About Our Vein Clinic in Baltimore, MD
Heavy, aching legs after a long day, ankles that swell by evening, or veins that have become more visible over time are common reasons patients visit our Baltimore vein clinic. These symptoms can be associated with vein disease, including chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which the valves inside leg veins no longer keep blood moving back toward the heart. They are worth evaluating when they persist, worsen, or start to affect your daily routine.
Our vein clinic offers outpatient evaluation and minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and spider veins with over 20 years of experience. We look at the veins underneath, not just what shows on the surface, so your plan is based on what is causing your symptoms. Your evaluation includes a consultation with one of our vein doctors and ultrasound imaging of the veins in your legs.
Vein Conditions We Evaluate in Baltimore
Visible veins are often only part of the picture. Underlying vein disease can cause symptoms that are easy to mistake for everyday tiredness, so we evaluate the veins themselves. You can read more in our vein disease guide.
- Varicose veins: Enlarged, twisted veins that may cause aching, heaviness, or throbbing in the legs.
- Spider veins (telangiectasias): Small surface veins that may cause visible discoloration or, in some cases, tingling and burning. They are often connected to larger veins underneath.
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): Valve dysfunction that allows blood to pool in the lower legs.
- Leg swelling: Fluid buildup in the calves, ankles, and feet that may worsen during the day.
- Skin changes: Itching, discoloration, or scaling on the lower legs that may be related to venous reflux.
- Venous leg ulcers: Slow-healing sores near the ankles. These need prompt medical evaluation.
Not every leg symptom comes from a vein condition. A physician can help determine what is causing yours.
What to Expect at Your Vein Consultation
Your first visit is meant to answer questions, not to rush you into a procedure.
1. Consultation with a vein doctor
Your physician reviews your symptoms, health history, medications, and goals, then examines your legs.
2. Ultrasound vein mapping
A non-invasive ultrasound shows how blood moves through your veins and where valves may be leaking. Many problem veins sit below the surface and cannot be seen without it.
3. Your personalized plan
Your physician explains your results and discusses whether treatment is appropriate for you. You have time to ask questions before deciding on next steps. See how to prepare for your visit.
Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment Near You in Baltimore

Results and recovery vary from person to person. Your physician explains what to expect for the treatment you are considering.
Sclerotherapy in Baltimore: Visual and Ultrasound-Guided
Sclerotherapy uses an injected medication, called a sclerosant, to close a targeted vein. We use two approaches, and which one fits depends on the size and location of the veins involved.
- Visual sclerotherapy treats spider veins and small veins you can see on the surface of the leg.
- Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy reaches deeper veins that cannot be seen from the surface, using ultrasound to guide the injection.
Your physician may also discuss at-home care, such as compression stockings and regular exercise. No treatment can promise that every vein will clear or that new veins will not appear.
