Vein Institute Information

President and Founder Alex Afshar, M.D., leads the team at Vein Institute, which offers a warm, welcoming, and relaxing environment. The team works with both men and women to diagnose, treat, and eliminate the pain and embarrassment caused by varicose and spider veins. Since establishing the Newtown office in 2008, Vein Institute has expanded across Connecticut. The team works to provide patients with the most advanced, out-patient, office-based procedures including radio-frequency ablation, Venaseal®, ambulatory phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, and infrared coagulation for treatment of hemorrhoids. All of our clinical staff is BCLS certified by the American Heart Association. Our providers make treatment recommendations by first pinpointing the underlying cause of our patients’ symptoms. Each provider works one-on-one with their patients to explain their diagnosis, treatment options, and costs, ensuring everyone knows enough to make the right treatment decision for their lifestyle and budget.
