Holy Name has announced the official opening of Vein Health at Holy Name, a new specialized center dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases.
Led by interventional cardiologist Dr. Jaffar Raza, the center unites experts across interventional cardiology, vascular surgery, and wound care to provide advanced, patient-centered care for conditions ranging from routine cosmetic concerns to complex medical issues.
Vein Health at Holy Name provides targeted evaluations and state-of-the-art therapies for a variety of conditions, including:
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Varicose veins and spider veins
- Venous ulcers
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Patient care begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Raza, followed by a detailed venous ultrasound conducted by an experienced vascular technologist. The center utilizes cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedures designed to restore circulation and relieve symptoms with little to no downtime, such as:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
- VenaSeal™
- Varithena®
- Sclerotherapy
As independent vein clinics proliferate, Raza notes that an increasing number of patients are turning to hospital-based programs for second opinions, personalized treatment plans, and corrective care following complications from procedures done elsewhere.
“Our team believes exceptional care starts with honest recommendations,” Raza said. “Not every varicose vein requires intervention. Our goal is to help patients achieve the best possible outcome while avoiding unnecessary procedures.”
Venous disease impacts millions nationwide. For instance, approximately 40 million Americans suffer from varicose veins, which can lead to chronic leg aches, fatigue, swelling, skin changes, blood clots, or painful sores if left untreated.
