Advanced Vein Treatments for Upper Makefield Township, PA Patients

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.

Radiofrequency Ablation (ClosureFast™)

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.

Sclerotherapy

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.

VenaSeal™ Closure System

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.

Microphlebectomy

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.

Varithena® Ablation

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.

Pro-Nox™

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.

Vein Health Awareness in Upper Makefield

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.

Top Rated Vein Clinic Near Upper Makefield Township, PA

Dr. Kowalski and staff are amazing. The doctor worked on veins in my legs and hands and I’m thrilled with the results! The bulging veins in my hands really bothered me to look at and they are hard to hide - I can’t believe they are gone!! And it’s easy too! Thank you!
I had a vein ablation done six months ago to help with a cramping problem. The procedure was almost-totally painless (some brief minor discomfort) and Dr. Kowalski and his assistant were very professional and explained everything being done. In addition, receptionists are courteous, friendly, and very helpful. I had a follow-up scheduled this week and, with a concern about a new, persistent pain (Hey! I'm 75!), Dr. Kowalski moved me up into a new, vacated opening and was very patient and informative. Highly recommend him if you have vein/circulation issues. PS...Another bonus...the waiting room and entire facility is comfortable and spotless!
Had unsightly spider veins removed from my legs by Dr. Kowalski. He and his staff are friendly, professional and efficient. Asked for a second touch-up (some on the veins were extensive) and was not charged for it. Pain was minor and recovery was quick and uneventful. Highly recommend this company.
For years I dealt with heavy, tired legs, ankle swelling, painful varicose veins, and daily discomfort. I honestly thought it was something I just had to live with. Seeing Dr Kowalski was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The staff was kind and professional, and the doctor truly listened to my concerns. After treatment, the swelling and pain improved significantly, and my legs feel lighter and healthier. I feel like I got my quality of life back. Highly recommend!
Exceptional experience. I was very nervous about the procedure, as I'm sure anyone would be. I have had both legs done,i am very happy with the results. My legs feel better. I would absolutely recommend going for a consult and finding out for yourself
I have now had 3 RFA treatments and one sclerotherapy shot. Skin color and over all feeling in my legs is much improved. Mary is with you every step of the way whether an Ultrasound or an ablation and will assist with any of your questions. Wish I had come in even sooner. Well done
Doctor Kowalski was amazing!! He explained everything in the procedure room so there were no surprises. I highly recommend this office. As far as anyone giving them lower than a 5 star. The patient must of woke up on the wrong side of the bed. These guys were very professional . Thx again! 😊
Everything went nice and smooth. I saw Dr as a new patient and 1 1/2 week later had my 1st treatment of RF Ablation of vein which I desparately for health purposes needed to be done ASAP. Wow that time frame impressed me and i will certainly go to this practice for any future health concerns. The Dr. and staff were all great.
My experiences with Dr. Kowalski have been great. He has taken care of deep varicose veins and also those I wanted gone for cosmetic reasons. Very successful! The staff is terrific and the office runs on time. I had a good understanding of what he was doing and why. Highly recommend him.
Dr. Kowalski and his staff are terrific. Dr. Kowalski took the time to explain his diagnosis, what potential treatment options there were and the risks/benefits of treatment. The nurses also do a great job of explaining each step - from doing a diagnostic ultrasound, to prep for procedure and post procedure instructions. They are about an hour from me and on my first visit for an evaluation they accommodated space on the schedule to also complete an ultrasound so that I would not have to return an additional time just for that. My RFA procedures went smoothly. I had no pain during or following the procedure. Follow-up has been great and I am quite pleased with the outcome thus far. If you are considering vein treatment of any kind, I’d highly recommend Dr. Kowlaski and his team. Had my post-procedure ultrasound and Mary completed the test, took the time to explain the follow-up and answer my questions. It’s been about 4 weeks since the RFA; the recovery has been easy and my legs feel great.
Dr. Kowalski and his staff are outstanding! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The office is impeccably clean, and the care provided is top-notch. Dr. Kowalski takes the time to listen, explain, and ensure you're comfortable throughout the visit. Highly recommend!
I was very satisfied with my initial consultation with Dr. Kawalski to discuss treatment for my leg veins. He explained my future treatments thoroughly . Also, the medical associates in his office are very professional and kind, from the scheduling of appointments to the thoroughness of the ultrasound technician.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kowalski ‘s Center for Vein Medicine for several years. I am pleased to recommend his practice as he has provided me with much information and services that have enhanced my health. His team is also knowledgeable and very skilled. I was there most recently for an ultrasound, done by Mary Tamac. She was very proficient and then informative, explaining what needed to be done and a plan for accomplishing it. For me, a compassionate supportive professional is at least as important as their ability to do the job. I certainly found that at The Center for Vein Medicine.
Dr. Kowalski and Nurse Jackie were pleasant, efficient, and concerned for my comfort during my RFA procedure. They explained the procedure and what to expect both during and over the days following. I have no doubt that the same will happen when I return for my next procedure.
I am extremely grateful for the outstanding care I received at Kowalski surgical center. Dr. Kowalski, Mary Takac and their team have set a standard for vein care. Thank you for your dedication to your patients for making my health and wellbeing a priority.
I have been very pleased with the results thus far with my vein treatments. After many years of thick varicose veins, my legs are now less achy and look much better as well. Dr Kowalski and his office staff are very courteous and professional, taking time to explain the procedures along the way. Appointments start on time , a big plus to me.
About two weeks ago, I had a consultation with Dr. Kowalski concerning a repair of a hernia. Dr. Kowalski clearly described the surgery and post operative recovery. He was friendly and comfortably answered all my questions. Four years ago, Dr. Kowalski performed another surgery on me. I have a lot of confidence in the Dr.
Dr. Kowalski and his staff are top Knotch the best! Staff is so friendly and helpful. Dr. Kowalski is very knowledgeable on veins and is happy to answer all questions you have. I had vein removal done for the first time, searched for hours online about it and looked at several different locations to have the procedure done. Once I came across BC Center for Vein medicine I felt more comfortable knowing a Doctor would be completing this procedure. So happy with my decision and you will too!
Dr Kowalski and office staff are great! Highly recommend. The procedure was done in the very clean, new and modern office. It was Painless and quick . The receptionist, ultrasound and nurse were all respectful and efficient ! I never had to wait in the waiting area more than a few minutes. Great job guys!
Five stars for Dr. Kowalski and his team. My bilateral inguinal hernia surgery went very well, no complications and very little pain. I am on my way to complete recovery. Thank you Dr. Kowalski for your excellent skills and experience! Robert Kucharski
I couldn't say nicer things about both Dr. Kowalski and his office staff. First, Dr. Kowalski is very kind and professional. He explains the process in advance very clearly so you know what to expect on the actual day of the procedure. Then, upon your arrival, you are escorted into the room, prepped by his very nice assistant; and then handed two rubber balls with which to squeeze as a distraction should you feel pain. While definitely happy that they were there as my security blanket, I really only needed them for a couple pinches, nothing worth shedding tears over. What I especially liked is that Dr. Kowalski would count one, two, three as a head's up that you may feel a pinch or pressure. You are told step by step what to expect as it is happening. When done, they put the support hose on my leg, added a little wrapping and the entire procedure was over within a half hour. As I checked out, the staff was so sweet. They always have a smile for you, plus the patience of a Saint. I was late for two of my three appointments, and each time they were so kind about it, and took me in anyway. Now that is accommodating. And the best part, my legs look gorgeous. No more ugly veins, no more throbbing or pain, and I'm back to exercising, walking and living life unencumbered by leg pain. Thank you Dr. Kowalski and staff.
I've seen Dr. Kowalski twice now for inguinal hernia repairs. His humor, care, skill, and expertise made me feel incredibly comfortable with the procedures. His upgrade to Robotic Assisted surgeries has only improved his practice. You're in great hands with Chris.
I have been having terrible pain in my legs especially at night. My one leg was swollen and a bit red. I looked on Google and found Dr. Kowalski. As soon as I entered the office, I was greeted with a welcome smile by one of his staff. Everyone was so friendly, it made me feel at ease. Then when Dr. Kowalski came in he listed to my concerns. He answered all of my questions. He made me feel like he really appreciated me and really wanted me to feel better. I was in and out very quickly.I was set up that day by the staff to have an ultrasound at the office. Dr. Kowalski told me what compression socks to get on Amazon. It has been a week since my visit and now I am sleeping through the night without any leg pain. Thank you Dr. Kowalski and staff. I will see you in a few weeks. Sheila S
The receptionist at Dr. Kowalski’s office called me when the office had a cancellation so that I could see the doctor a few weeks earlier than I was originally scheduled. I appreciated the call to reschedule my appointment. Dr. Kowalski had two suggestions for me. One was that I get a certain brand of compression knee-highs. Immediately, these socks made my legs feel so much better. I’ll be able to present my receipt for the socks to my insurance company because the doctor wrote a prescription for them. The second suggestion was to have a simple procedure to eliminate my problem surface veins, which Dr. Kowalski will complete after an ultrasound. I’m confident that Dr. Kowalski can successfully solve my vein problems. Also, the receptionist gave me a pamphlet explaining the procedure and she explained the details to me.
Dr. Kowalski is very professional and caring physician. I would recommend him very much. He is good at doing veins. I am very pleased with his work!! This post is now for the second procedure I had done to my other leg. It is amazing how good my legs look now. Dr. Kowalski works in a professional matter but very personable. I love how he tells you what is going to happen and how it should feel. Definitely would recommend him and his staff. The girls are nice and friendly.

Answers for common vein questions

Frequently Asked Questions for Upper Makefield Residents

How close is your clinic to Upper Makefield Township?

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.

Do varicose veins come back after treatment?

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.

Is sclerotherapy painful?

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.

What is the best treatment for varicose veins?

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.

Do you accept insurance for vein treatment?

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.

How long is the recovery after vein treatment?

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.

What should I expect during my first appointment?

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.

Is your vein clinic accredited?

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.
