No. 02 Meet the Physician

One specialist. Not a rotating roster of providers.

At a lot of clinics, you meet whoever's on shift. Here, the physician who performs your ultrasound, plans your treatment, and does the procedure is the same person — Dr. Aleman — every visit. Nineteen years of doing only this.

Credentials CA
Why credentials matter here

Certified to read the ultrasound — not just order it.

Vein disease is diagnosed by ultrasound. Dr. Aleman holds the RPVI (Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation) and RVT (Registered Vascular Technologist) credentials, plus certifications from APCA and ARDMS — so the diagnosis and the treatment plan come from the same trained hands.

Our Practice

A local, independent clinic — built around one specialty.

Aleman Vein Center is exactly what it sounds like: an independent Atlanta clinic that treats varicose veins, spider veins, venous insufficiency, leg swelling, and venous ulcers — and nothing else. Every treatment is minimally invasive, performed in the office, with little discomfort and no downtime.

Most patients are back to their day immediately after treatment. There's no hospital, no general anesthesia, and no rotating cast of providers — just the same board-certified specialist who has performed this work, full-time, for nineteen years.

"State-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatment — performed in-office, so you can get back to your life the same day."

— Dr. Chad Aleman, MD

The Procedures

The actual treatments — illustrated, not stock-photographed.

Each of these is performed in-office by Dr. Aleman under real-time ultrasound. Here's what they look like, plainly.

— The premise of the practice
No. 03 Conditions We Treat

Symptoms that get quietly written off as "just aging."

Most of what we treat has been dismissed somewhere else. It usually isn't inevitable — and the first step is an honest ultrasound diagnosis, not a sales pitch.

01

Varicose Veins

Twisted, rope-like veins in the legs.

Failing one-way valves let blood pool. Often runs in families. More than cosmetic — heaviness, swelling, and skin changes follow if left untreated.

02

Spider Veins

Fine, web-like surface vessels.

Small dilated capillaries close to the skin's surface. Often cosmetic — but in some patients the surface signal of deeper insufficiency.

03

Leg & Ankle Swelling

Persistent heaviness and edema.

When veins can't move blood back efficiently, pressure builds and the legs and ankles swell — especially by the end of the day.

04

Restless Legs Syndrome

Often traced to vein reflux.

Many cases have a venous component. Worth a screening before adding medication — treating the reflux often calms the legs.

05

Leg Discoloration

Skin browning, often at the ankle.

Long-standing venous pressure stains the skin a brown or rusty color near the ankle — an early warning of chronic venous insufficiency.

06

Venous Leg Ulcers

Slow-healing wounds at the ankle.

Wounds that refuse to close are usually caused by underlying reflux. Treat the vein, and the wound finally heals — and stays healed.

07

Chronic Venous Insufficiency

The umbrella behind most adult leg-vein symptoms.

Pressure builds in the deep veins, legs feel heavy, skin discolors at the ankles. Treatable. Frequently missed.

No. 04 Treatments We Offer

Minimally invasive, in-office, under an hour.

Each treatment is chosen for your specific anatomy under ultrasound — not pulled from a fixed menu. Walking out the same day is the expectation, not the exception.

01

Radiofrequency Ablation

A tiny catheter, real-time ultrasound, gentle heat.

A catheter is guided into the failing vein and heat collapses it closed. Done in under an hour under local anesthesia.

Duration
< 1 hour
Anesthesia
Local
02

VenaSeal™ Closure

Medical adhesive — no heat, no tumescent.

A medical-grade adhesive is injected to glue the diseased vein permanently closed. An office-based procedure of about 30 minutes.

Duration
≈ 30 min
Recovery
Same-day
03

Varithena®

FDA-approved microfoam for hard-to-reach veins.

A microfoam medication injected directly into diseased veins to collapse and break them down — useful where a catheter can't reach.

Duration
≈ 30 min
Anesthesia
Local
04

Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy

Foam, placed under ultrasound visualization.

A detergent solution in foam form is injected via needle under ultrasound to scar and close varicose veins below the surface.

Duration
20–30 min
Downtime
Compression hose
05

Visually Guided Sclerotherapy

For cosmetic spider veins at the surface.

A tiny needle delivers a sclerosant directly into surface spider veins. The vessel collapses and the body reabsorbs it over several weeks.

Duration
15–30 min
Anesthesia
None
06

Conservative & Compression Care

Not every leg needs a procedure.

For many patients, graduated compression, activity, and supportive care are enough — or the right first step before anything more.

No. 05 The Patient Journey

Four unhurried steps — none of them surprise you with a bill.

The screening is free. Diagnosis is by ultrasound, not guesswork. Treatment is recommended only when it is genuinely indicated and your insurance benefits are clear.

01

Free Vein Screening

A no-cost visit with Dr. Aleman's team. We listen, examine, and tell you honestly whether a deeper workup is warranted.

02

Ultrasound Diagnosis

A diagnostic ultrasound — read by an RPVI/RVT-certified physician — identifies which veins are refluxing and which are healthy.

03

Treatment Plan

A written plan explaining exactly what we recommend, why, and what your out-of-pocket cost will be — before anything begins.

04

Recovery & Follow-up

Most procedures send you home walking, same day. We confirm by follow-up ultrasound that the vein has closed cleanly.

No. 06 Insurance & Cost

Most patients pay very little. We tell you up-front exactly what.

Medically necessary vein treatment is covered by all major plans and Medicare. Our team verifies benefits before scheduling — no surprises.

Plans we accept

We accept all major commercial plans, Medicare, and many Medicare Advantage plans. If your plan isn't listed, call us — we likely still accept it.

Medicare
Medicare Advantage
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Cigna
Humana
UnitedHealthcare
Tricare

How the money part works

Our team verifies your benefits before treatment. You receive a clear, written estimate that lists deductible, coinsurance, and any out-of-pocket cost. We do not begin anything you have not approved.

Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. Cosmetic-only treatments (such as isolated spider veins) are typically out-of-pocket. We will tell you which category your case falls in.

No. 07 Before & After

A consent-based gallery — built quietly, with the patient's permission.

Shown in office

We don't publish patient photographs without explicit, written, treatment-by-treatment consent.

At your screening, Dr. Aleman will show you anonymized clinical photos and discuss the realistic range of outcomes for someone with your specific anatomy. Most patients tell us this is more useful than a website gallery anyway.

02

In-office, no downtime

Every procedure is minimally invasive and done in our Atlanta office. No hospital, no general anesthesia — most patients return to their day immediately.

03

No. 09 Frequently Asked

The questions every patient asks — and the honest answers.

Is vein treatment painful?
Most patients describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable, not painful. Local anesthesia is used at the access point. There is no general anesthesia and no hospital stay — and most people walk out and return to their day.
How long is recovery?
For most treatments there is essentially no downtime — patients return to normal activity immediately. Compression hose may be worn for a short period, and we discourage heavy lifting for about a week.
Will my insurance cover this?
For medically necessary treatment of varicose veins or venous reflux, all major commercial plans and Medicare provide coverage. Our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment and gives you a written estimate. Cosmetic-only treatments (such as isolated spider veins) are typically out-of-pocket — we'll tell you clearly which category your case falls in.
Will the veins come back?
A successfully treated vein does not return — the body reabsorbs it. However, vein disease is progressive, and new veins can develop reflux over time. We do not promise a particular outcome. Periodic follow-up ultrasounds catch new issues early.
Do I see Dr. Aleman, or someone else?
You see Dr. Aleman. He performs the ultrasound interpretation, builds the treatment plan, and does the procedure himself. This is an independent, single-specialist practice — not a chain with a rotating roster of providers.
Do I need a physician referral?
For most plans, no — you can self-refer. A few HMO and Medicare Advantage plans require a referral from your primary care physician. Our front desk will tell you which group your plan is in when you call.
