Thank you, Dr. Alfieri and everyone at Delaware Advanced Vein Center, for everything you do. I highly recommend them to anyone considering vein treatment! ❤️
Dr Alfieri and his team are so pleasantable to deal with. After being diagnosed with venous insufficiency prior to my move to DE I knew I needed to get some procedures done. Him and his team quickly identified which veins needed treatment and managed to get me scheduled within less than 30 days after my consult. Both Venaseal procedures were done quickly and less than a week of recovery time each time. I’ve already told family and friends how good of a time I’ve had while under his care.

Highly recommend.
There staff is lovely Drs. Great and treat you like a human being not just a number.
My legs feel 10 times better than before.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Anthony Alfieri and the entire team at Delaware Advanced Vein Center for the exceptional care I received.

I came to Delaware Advanced Vein Center because I was experiencing severe pain, heaviness, and discomfort in my legs. It had become very difficult for me to work an 8-hour shift and spend long periods of time on my feet.

Dr. Alfieri performed procedures on both of my legs, and I am so happy to say that I feel so much better now. The pain and heaviness are gone, and I can work an 8-hour shift without the discomfort I was experiencing before. This has made such a positive difference in my everyday life.

I also want to give special recognition to the entire staff. Everyone was kind, compassionate, attentive, and truly caring throughout my treatment. You can tell that this is a team of highly skilled professionals who genuinely care about their patients.

And a very special thank you to Dr. Alfieri. You are truly amazing at what you do! Thank you for giving me back the ability to work and go about my daily life without the pain and heaviness I had been living with.

I highly recommend Dr. Alfieri and Delaware Advanced Vein Center. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

What Could Life Look Like With Less Vein Pain?

Varicose veins can affect more than how your legs look, making everyday activities uncomfortable and leaving you exhausted by the end of the day.

Without treatment, you may experience:

  • Aching, heaviness, or fatigue in your legs
  • Swelling around your ankles, calves, or feet
  • Throbbing, burning, or cramping sensations
  • Restless legs that interrupt your sleep
  • Pain after standing or sitting for long periods
  • Skin irritation, discoloration, or itching around affected veins
  • Greater risk of developing deep vein thrombosis

With the right treatment, you can:

  • Walk, exercise, and stay active with less discomfort
  • Spend more time on your feet without aching or fatigue
  • Reduce swelling and pressure in your legs
  • Sleep more comfortably without nighttime restlessness
  • Feel more confident about how your legs look
  • Improve circulation and support your long-term vein health

You deserve to spend less time thinking about your legs and more time doing what you love.

How We Treat Varicose Veins

Your vein treatment starts with a thorough evaluation to find out what’s causing your discomfort and which veins need attention.

Dr. Alfieri will walk you through your options and recommend the most effective approach for your condition, using minimally invasive treatments that help you feel better with little to no downtime.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

Ambulatory phlebectomy removes large, bulging varicose veins through tiny openings in your skin to reduce pain and improve the appearance of your legs.

MOCA

Mechanical occlusion and chemical ablation (MOCA) combines mechanical action with medication to close unhealthy veins without using heat.

Varithena

Varithena uses a specialized injectable foam to close malfunctioning veins, allowing blood to flow through healthier vessels.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal damaged veins without heat, helping improve circulation with minimal recovery time.

Venous Ablation

Venous ablation delivers controlled heat through a thin catheter to close veins that aren’t working properly and relieve related symptoms.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy uses imaging to precisely inject a solution into problem veins beneath your skin, causing them to close and gradually be absorbed by your body.

Spider Veins vs. Varicose Veins: How Can You Tell the Difference?

Spider veins and varicose veins can both affect how your legs look, but they differ in size, symptoms, and the underlying issues that may be causing them.

You may have varicose veins if you:

  • Notice large, twisted, or bulging veins beneath your skin
  • Experience aching, heaviness, or swelling in your legs
  • Feel throbbing, burning, or cramping after being on your feet
  • Have symptoms that get worse after sitting or standing for hours
  • Have underlying circulation issues that may require medical treatment
  • May qualify for insurance coverage if treatment is medically necessary

You may have spider veins if you:

  • See thin, red, blue, or purple veins near your skin’s surface
  • Notice small, web-like patterns on your legs or face
  • Have visible veins that are flat rather than raised
  • Experience little to no discomfort from the affected veins
  • Want to improve their appearance with cosmetic treatment
  • May need to pay out of pocket since treatment is typically considered cosmetic

Not sure what’s causing your visible veins? Dr. Alfieri can examine your circulation, explain what he finds, and help you decide whether treatment is right for you.

Is It Time To Get Your Varicose Veins Treated?

If your legs are constantly aching, swelling, or feeling heavy, it may be time to find out whether your veins are causing the problem.

Dr. Alfieri will assess your symptoms and circulation to determine whether varicose vein treatment is the right choice for you.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have enlarged, bulging, or twisted veins on your legs
  • Feel pain, heaviness, or swelling throughout the day
  • Experience itching, burning, or cramping around affected veins
  • Notice your symptoms getting worse after standing or sitting
  • Have leg discomfort that’s interfering with your daily activities

You may need further evaluation if you:

  • Have visible veins but aren’t experiencing any discomfort
  • Have certain medical conditions that could affect your treatment options
  • Aren’t sure whether your symptoms are related to poor vein circulation
