About

Houston Vein Specialists operates from the Smith Tower inside Houston Methodist Hospital at the Texas Medical Center, providing specialist care for varicose veins, spider veins, venous leg ulcers, and chronic leg swelling. The clinic holds dual IAC accreditation as both a Vascular Testing Center and a Vein Center — a distinction held by fewer than 5% of US vein practices. Medical Director Dr. David D. Shin is board-certified in both General Surgery and Vascular Surgery, holds Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) and Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) credentials, and has completed more than 10,000 saphenous vein ablations. Treatments are performed in-office under local anesthesia, with no hospital stay required. Radiofrequency ablation uses catheter-delivered thermal energy to permanently seal diseased saphenous veins. Ambulatory phlebectomy removes bulging surface varicosities through 3 mm micro-incisions with no sutures. Sclerotherapy with Asclera (polidocanol) eliminates spider veins and small varicosities through targeted injections. The clinic accepts most major insurance plans for medically necessary vein procedures and is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy with Asclera (polidocanol) eliminates spider veins and small reticular varicose veins on the legs through a series of precise microinjections. At Houston Vein Specialists, a fine needle delivers the sclerosing solution directly into each target vein, causing it to collapse and fade over several weeks. Most patients need two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Performed in-office in approximately 20 minutes with no downtime, sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment for cosmetic spider vein removal.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

Ambulatory phlebectomy removes bulging surface varicose veins through a series of tiny 3 mm micro-incisions made under local anesthesia. No stitches or sutures are required — the incisions close on their own and leave minimal scarring. Performed in-office at Houston Vein Specialists in the Texas Medical Center, this procedure is typically combined with radiofrequency ablation to address both the underlying reflux and the visible surface varicosities in the same visit or follow-up session.

Radiofrequency Vein Ablation

Minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation to permanently close diseased great saphenous or small saphenous veins causing varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Performed in-office under local anesthesia by Dr. David D. Shin, a board-certified vascular surgeon with over 10,000 saphenous ablations. A thin catheter is inserted under ultrasound guidance and delivers controlled thermal energy along the vein wall, sealing it shut so blood reroutes through healthy veins. No general anesthesia, no hospital stay, and most patients walk out and return to normal activity the same day.
