A vein center is only as good as its vein doctors. Luckily for us, our vein center is led by Dr. Caroline Novak, one of the country’s finest board-certified vein specialists. Dr. Novak is an incredibly talented and skilled double board-certified vein doctor specializing in venous medicine and internal medicine. She also specializes in vascular imaging and the latest minimally invasive vein treatments, including radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and VenaSeal. She’s performed hundreds of the latest minimally invasive treatments without complications.

Dr. Caroline Novak has an incredible track record and educational background. After graduating with honors from the University of Chicago, she attended the University of Illinois Medical School on a scholarship. After graduating at the top of her class, she promptly attended one of the country’s most reputable residency programs at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where she won numerous awards. She’s also formally recognized by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, an honor that’s only given to less than 1% of all vein specialists.

Dr. Caroline Novak is certainly immensely talented and experienced, but that really only covers half of what makes her unique. Dr. Novak is a kind, friendly, and compassionate vein doctor — her guiding vein care philosophy is that patients must always feel emotionally and physically comfortable with their procedures. To that end, she patiently explains every step of the vein treatment process to her patients, so they can mentally prepare themselves for the coming procedures. It’s no wonder she’s so beloved by her patients — some of them even fly over from different parts of the country just to consult with her.

The latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments are far superior to traditional vascular surgery. Minimally invasive procedures are nonsurgical and in-office procedures that involve small incisions or injections, usually under local anesthesia. As such, there’s no hospitalization, and you feel little to no pain and discomfort. Minimally invasive vein treatments are also extremely safe, carrying a negligible risk of complications. They conclude within an hour, and you can resume all your daily activities immediately — no downtime.

During the minimally invasive treatment, our vein doctor creates an incision on the affected leg. If you have varicose veins and vein disease in your left leg, she’ll create an incision on the left leg. The vein doctor inserts a catheter or laser fiber through the incision, guiding it into the diseased saphenous vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter or laser fiber is lodged in place, the vein doctor activates it to deliver thermal energy (radiofrequency ablation) or laser energy (endovenous laser ablation) into the vein’s walls. The diseased vein collapses, and the accumulated blood flows to healthier veins, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart.

After the primary vein treatment, the vein doctor administers ambulatory phlebectomy or sclerotherapy to remove the superficial varicose veins and spider veins. During ambulatory phlebectomy, the vein doctor removes the varicose veins through incisions on the skin’s surface. During sclerotherapy, the vein doctor injects a medicine into the spider veins to harden them into scar tissues that get absorbed by the body, fading away from the skin’s surface.

Vein Treatment Clinic accepts all major insurance plans and actively helps you get optimal insurance coverage for your vein treatments. We review your insurance plans to recommend the ideal vein treatment for your specific needs and budget. You can also talk to your vein doctor  about the possibility of including your spider vein treatment within the primary vein treatment, extending insurance coverage to both procedures at once.
