Vascular & Endovascular AssociatesVein care
Varicose veins, treated in the office — by your surgeon.
VEVA focuses on disorders of the arteries and veins, and on the evaluation and treatment of varicose veins and venous insufficiency — including in-office vein ablation and sclerotherapy.
Conditions we evaluate
When should you get your veins checked?
Varicose veins
Bulging, twisted veins — often with aching, heaviness, or tired legs, especially after standing.
Venous insufficiency
Veins that don’t return blood efficiently — swelling, skin changes, and leg fatigue.
Arterial disease
Evaluation and treatment of arterial disease as part of comprehensive vascular care.
Only an in-person evaluation can say what is causing your symptoms and what, if anything, should be treated. This page describes the practice’s focus — it is not a diagnosis.
In-office treatments
Vein ablation & sclerotherapy
These are office-based vein procedures performed by Dr. Tay himself. The right option depends on your veins, your symptoms, and your ultrasound findings — which is why treatment starts with an evaluation, not a procedure.
The practice also offers vein ultrasound & vein mapping, radiofrequency ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, and endovenous laser treatment (EVLT). Dr. Tay will explain at your visit which option, if any, fits your case.
Vein ablation
An in-office procedure to close a faulty vein, so blood is rerouted through healthier veins. Dr. Tay will explain whether it fits your case, what it involves, and what recovery typically looks like.
Sclerotherapy
For spider veins, reticular veins, and small varicose veins. A solution is injected directly into the vein, which causes it to close and fade over the following weeks as the body absorbs it. Performed in the office, no incision. Each visit is one session, whether one leg or both are treated; more than one session is often needed.
It treats the veins you can see — not reflux in the larger veins underneath. For many patients it comes after underlying truncal reflux has been treated with ablation.
Common questions

Do you speak Spanish?
Yes — Se habla español. Our practice is fluent in Spanish.
