If you're looking for the best vein doctor in NYC, start with a clinic that treats vein disease every day. Metro Vein Centers' Midtown Manhattan vein clinic, at 111 East 57th Street, is led by Dr. Justin Ha, a board-certified physician and vein specialist. The clinic is IAC-accredited for vascular testing, accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and offers minimally invasive vein treatments for varicose veins and spider veins.
Manhattan has no shortage of doctors, so it helps to know what separates a dedicated vein clinic from an office that offers vein treatment as one service among many. Below, we cover our Midtown clinic and care team, what to look for when you compare vein clinics, and other vein practices in Manhattan worth knowing about.

NYC’s Best Vein Doctor
Dr. Justin Ha is a board-certified physician and vein specialist who leads the care team at our Midtown clinic. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine and a Registered Phlebology Sonographer (RPhS), a credential focused on vein ultrasound.
Dr. Ha has performed more than 18,000 minimally invasive vein treatments and trains other physicians on treatments for chronic venous insufficiency, including radiofrequency ablation, Varithena and VenaSeal. He completed his residency at St. John's Episcopal Hospital in New York City and has shared his expertise on vein disease with The Washington Post, HuffPost and U.S. News & World Report.
His approach centers on catching vein disease early. As he puts it, "Early treatment allows us to prevent progression to severe, advanced disease. It's easier to treat a cavity than it is to get a root canal."
Choosing the Best Vein Clinic in Manhattan, NYC
The right vein clinic for you combines specialized physicians, independently verified quality, modern treatment options and help with insurance. Here's what to look for, and how our Midtown clinic measures up.
Board-Certified Vein Specialists
Look for physicians who focus on vein care and hold board certification in the field. Certification from the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine shows that a doctor has met specific training and testing standards in diagnosing and treating vein disease.
IAC Accreditation
Our Midtown clinic is accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for vascular testing. IAC accreditation is an independent review of a facility's ultrasound testing, staff qualifications and quality processes, and it's granted only to facilities that meet its standards.
Specialized Vein Care
Many offices and medspas list vein treatment as one item among dozens of services. At Metro Vein Centers, vein care is the whole practice. Our board-certified physicians and vein specialists diagnose and treat vein conditions every day, across more than 80 clinics nationwide.
Vein Conditions We Treat
Our Manhattan clinic treats the full range of vein conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, spider veins, leg swelling and aching or heavy legs. Spider veins can be a visible sign of an underlying vein problem, which is why every treatment plan starts with an evaluation.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
Treatments at our Midtown clinic include radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, VenaSeal, Varithena, microphlebectomy and the excel V+ laser. These treatments are done right in the clinic, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
Insurance Coverage
Metro Vein Centers accepts more than 200 insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. When vein disease is causing symptoms, treatment is often covered. Cosmetic-only treatment of spider veins usually isn't. Our team checks your benefits before treatment so you know what to expect. Learn more about insurance coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varicose veins are treated by vein specialists, who are physicians focused on diagnosing and treating vein disease, as well as by some vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. A vein specialist focuses on vein conditions every day and typically offers minimally invasive, in-office treatment. At Metro Vein Centers, your care is led by board-certified physicians and vein specialists.
Look for board certification in vein care, an accredited facility (such as IAC accreditation for vascular testing), on-site duplex ultrasound, a full range of minimally invasive treatments and help with insurance. A clinic that focuses only on veins will see a high volume of vein cases. It also helps to choose a location that's easy to reach for follow-up visits.
Often, yes. When vein disease causes symptoms like pain, swelling or heaviness, treatment is frequently covered by insurance, including Medicare. Cosmetic-only treatment of spider veins usually isn't covered. A vein evaluation with a duplex ultrasound helps determine whether your treatment is medically necessary. Learn more about insurance coverage.
Most minimally invasive vein treatments are done in the clinic during a single visit, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day. Your first appointment is a vein evaluation, which includes a duplex ultrasound so your care team can see how blood flows through your leg veins.
It depends on your insurance plan. Many plans, including Medicare, don't require a referral to see a vein specialist, while some HMO plans do. Our team can check your plan's requirements before your first visit.
