Just as there are many different causes of venous disease (which includes spider and varicose veins), there are many different treatments available. In order to obtain the best results possible, it is important to have your condition properly evaluated before undergoing any treatment.
We also partner with other leading medical providers in the area. Peoria Vein Center is dedicated to all aspects of vein and vascular care. Although we can work with various organizations for pre-treatment testing, we work most closely with Advanced Mobile Diagnostics, Inc., which has specialized in vascular ultrasound exams for more than 20 years.

“We restore, repair and make whole the parts which nature has given but which fortune has taken away, not so much that they may delight the eye but that they may buoy up the spirit and help the mind of the afflicted.” – Gaspare Tagliacozzi, Plastic Surgeon, Bologna, Italy – 1545-1599
It is our goal to provide patients with natural-looking results that help them feel comfortable in their own bodies. We realize that the decision to pursue cosmetic or reconstructive surgery isn’t easy, so we appreciate your confidence in us. We look forward to caring for you.
