For a community of more than 85,000 residents, accessing dedicated vein care has meant driving across the Valley. That changes now.
AHWATUKEE FOOTHILLS, AZ, UNITED STATES, June 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Elite Vein Clinic, the Phoenix Valley’s leading dedicated vein treatment practice, has opened a new vein clinic in Ahwatukee Foothills, its tenth location, at 4722 E Ray Road, Suite 5, Phoenix, AZ 85044. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and accepts most major insurance plans.
Ahwatukee Foothills is home to roughly 85,000 residents with a median age of 41, placing a significant portion of the population in the demographic most likely to develop vein disease. National research from NCBI estimates that 1 in 4 adults has visible varicose veins, yet over 90% of those affected never seek treatment, often because they don’t recognize that symptoms like leg pain, swelling, heaviness, and restless legs can signal chronic venous insufficiency, a progressive circulatory condition.
“People are surprised to hear that what they’ve been calling ‘tired legs’ is actually a treatable medical condition,” said Dr. Colindres. “We see patients every day who assume nothing could be done. Once they learn the evaluation is free and the treatment is covered by insurance, it removes the last barrier.”
Treatment Options at the New Location
Patients now have access to varicose vein treatments in Ahwatukee Foothills using the same minimally invasive procedures offered across all Elite Vein Clinic locations:
Radiofrequency Ablation (ClosureFast): A catheter-based procedure that delivers targeted heat to seal diseased veins and reroute blood flow to healthy vessels. Treatment takes 15 to 45 minutes with same-day recovery.
Varithena Ablation: An injectable foam that collapses varicose veins and redirects circulation, reducing pain, swelling, and the appearance of damaged veins with minimal downtime.
Compounded Sclerotherapy: A precision injection therapy for smaller varicose and spider veins, causing affected veins to collapse, reabsorb, and gradually fade.
Every new patient visit begins with a complimentary vein evaluation and same-day diagnostic duplex ultrasound performed on-site, so patients leave their first appointment with a clear diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
