Elite Vein Clinic opens 10th location in Ahwatukee Foothills

Elite Vein Clinic has opened a new vein treatment office in Ahwatukee Foothills, giving East Valley and South Phoenix residents a closer option for care. The clinic offers free evaluations, same-day ultrasound diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Why it matters: - Ahwatukee Foothills has about 85,000 residents, and the new clinic reduces the need for patients to travel across the Phoenix Valley for specialized vein care. - Vein disease is common, but many people do not seek treatment because they do not connect leg pain, swelling, heaviness or restless legs with chronic venous insufficiency. - Elite Vein Clinic is positioning the new site as a local access point for diagnosis and treatment in a community with a population profile that includes many adults at risk for vein disease. What happened: - Elite Vein Clinic opened a new location in Ahwatukee Foothills at 4722 E Ray Road, Suite 5, Phoenix, AZ 85044. - The office is the practice’s 10th location. - The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. - The location accepts most major insurance plans. - Residents can schedule a free consultation at eliteveinclinic.com . The details: - New patients receive a complimentary vein evaluation. - The first visit includes a same-day diagnostic duplex ultrasound performed on-site. - The clinic offers radiofrequency ablation, a catheter-based procedure that uses targeted heat to seal diseased veins and reroute blood flow to healthy vessels. - Radiofrequency ablation typically takes 15 to 45 minutes and allows same-day recovery. - The clinic offers Varithena ablation, an injectable foam treatment that collapses varicose veins and can reduce pain, swelling and the appearance of damaged veins with minimal downtime. - The clinic offers compounded sclerotherapy for smaller varicose and spider veins. - Compounded sclerotherapy uses precision injections that cause affected veins to collapse, reabsorb and gradually fade. - Dr. Karem Colindres brings more than 17 years of clinical experience to the practice. - Colindres started her medical career in 2007 with a pediatric residency at the University of Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital. - Colindres completed a fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and adult trauma and emergency rotations at Saint Joseph’s Trauma Center and Valleywise Health. - Before joining Elite Vein Clinic, Colindres worked as an attending physician at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center and also held roles in aesthetic medicine, occupational health and concierge care. - Elite Vein Clinic says its team includes vein specialists, nurse practitioners trained alongside Mayo Clinic interventionalists and registered vascular sonographers. - The practice says it has completed more than 5,000 successful vein treatments and served over 5,000 patients. Between the lines: - The expansion suggests Elite Vein Clinic is betting that easier access and insurance coverage will convert more people from symptom awareness to treatment. - The company is also emphasizing speed and convenience, with free evaluation, on-site ultrasound and minimally invasive procedures designed for little downtime. - The new office broadens the practice’s reach across the East Valley and South Phoenix, including Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Laveen, South Mountain, Mesa, Sun Lakes, Guadalupe, Maricopa and Casa Grande. What’s next: - Elite Vein Clinic will continue using the Ahwatukee Foothills site to treat patients with varicose veins, spider veins, leg pain, swelling, heaviness, cramping, restless legs and skin discoloration. - The practice is likely to keep leaning on its multi-site model as it serves more communities across the Phoenix metropolitan area. The bottom line: - Elite Vein Clinic’s 10th location turns Ahwatukee Foothills into another local entry point for specialized vein care, with free diagnostics and minimally invasive treatment built into the first visit.
