One physician. One quietly perfected specialty.

Dr. Chad Aleman has practiced vein medicine — and only vein medicine — full-time since 2008. Board-certified, ultrasound-certified, and one of the early Diplomates of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine. Over 50,000 procedures later, he still does the ultrasound, the plan, and the procedure himself.

Chad Aleman, MD

Nineteen years, one specialty, and over fifty thousand procedures.

A native of New Orleans, Dr. Aleman trained at Louisiana State University and LSU Medical School before beginning a full-time vein practice in January 2008. In 2009, he was in the second class of physicians in the country to pass the rigorous examination to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine — a credential held by only a select group of vein doctors. He has since personally performed over 50,000 minimally invasive vein treatments.

Why It Matters

What those letters after his name actually mean for you.

Credentials in vein medicine aren't decoration. They decide who reads your ultrasound, who plans your treatment, and how confident you can be that the diagnosis is right.

◆

Diplomate, ABVLM

The board certification specific to vein and lymphatic medicine. Dr. Aleman earned it in 2009, in only the second class of physicians to pass — proof of dedication to this one field.

◆

RPVI & RVT

Registered to interpret vascular ultrasound — not just order it. The person scanning your veins and the person treating them are the same trained specialist.

◆

50,000+ procedures

Volume is its own form of expertise. Nineteen years of doing only this means very few presentations are unfamiliar — and that steadiness shows in the room.

The depth of training is what lets us be quiet in the room.
