We provide a comprehensive range of minimally invasive vein treatments at our clinic near Upper Makefield Township, PA. Every procedure is performed in-office, typically takes 15–45 minutes, and lets you get back to your normal routine the same day. Most treatments are covered by insurance.
A minimally invasive procedure that uses gentle heat through a thin catheter to close diseased veins from the inside. Most patients return to daily activities the same day.
A non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a special medication directly into affected veins, causing them to close and fade over time. We also offer Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy for deeper or harder-to-reach veins.
An advanced, non-thermal treatment that uses medical-grade adhesive to seal diseased veins shut with no heat and no tumescent anesthesia. One of the most comfortable vein treatments available.
A minimally invasive procedure for surface varicose veins that are too large for sclerotherapy, using tiny 2-3mm incisions under local anesthesia. No stitches needed and most patients experience minimal downtime.
A microfoam injection treatment effective for veins of various sizes above and below the knee, requiring no incisions, no heat, and no general anesthesia. The foam collapses the vein and dissolves naturally in the bloodstream.
A non-addictive comfort option used during vein procedures to make the experience as pain-free as possible. It reduces the need for injection numbing and allows patients to stay comfortable throughout the treatment.

Upper Makefield Township is home to approximately 8,800 residents, many of whom are in the age range where vein conditions become more common. With a median age of 53.3 – well above the national and state averages – the township has a population that is statistically more likely to develop varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
National research indicates that 24% of American adults have visible varicose veins, and 6% experience chronic venous disease. In Upper Makefield, that corresponds to roughly 2,100 residents with visible varicose veins and over 520 with more advanced venous conditions.
Vein disease develops gradually, and many people attribute early symptoms – leg heaviness, aching after standing, mild swelling – to normal aging. But these signs often indicate a treatable condition. A diagnostic ultrasound can determine whether intervention is needed, and most of the procedures available today require no downtime.
After a quick vein procedure – most take just 15 to 45 minutes – you’ll be ready to get back to all the things that make Upper Makefield such a special place to live:

Answers for common vein questions
Our clinic at 301 Oxford Valley Rd in Yardley is approximately 5 miles from central Upper Makefield and the Washington Crossing area. Most residents reach us in about 10 minutes. We serve the 18938 and 18977 zip code areas.
The specific veins that are treated are permanently closed and reabsorbed by the body – they won’t return. However, because vein disease can be progressive, new veins may develop over time. Regular follow-ups and compression stockings can help manage long-term vein health.
Most patients describe sclerotherapy as mildly uncomfortable, similar to a small pinch. The injections use very fine needles, and the procedure is typically completed in under 30 minutes. We also offer Pro-Nox™ (nitrous oxide) for patients who prefer additional comfort during treatment.
The best treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of your veins. Radiofrequency ablation is highly effective for larger varicose veins, while sclerotherapy works well for spider veins and smaller varicosities. Dr. Kowalski will recommend the optimal approach based on your ultrasound results.
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. When varicose vein treatment is medically necessary, it is typically covered. Our team handles all insurance verification and prior authorization before your procedure.
There is minimal recovery time. Most patients drive themselves home after the procedure and return to normal activities the same day. We recommend avoiding heavy exercise for about a week and wearing compression stockings as directed.
Your first visit includes a free vein evaluation with duplex ultrasound imaging. Dr. Kowalski will examine your legs, review the ultrasound findings, and discuss your treatment options in detail. The entire consultation typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Yes. Our clinic holds IAC (Intersocietal Accreditation Commission) accreditation for vascular testing. This means our diagnostic procedures and clinical standards have been independently evaluated and meet the highest industry benchmarks.
