Dr. Nihas Wagal, D.O. is a board-certified physician specializing in the treatment of vein and vascular conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, and spider veins.
Dr. Wagal obtained his medical degree at Williams Carey University and subsequently completed his residency training at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in New York City. He currently sees patients in our Forest Hills, Queens vein clinic where he dedicates his time to providing patient-centric and fully customized care to help relieve unique and varying symptoms of vein disease.
Dr. Wagal is passionate about patient education while providing the best possible evidence-based care for his patients. This has led him to pursue extensive training in the treatment of venous related issues using ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous radiofrequency and laser ablations. He believes that the best experiences in medical environments are when both doctor and patient are on the same page, and he spends extra time with patients to answer all their questions before they leave his clinic.
“When we communicate clearly and educate patients about their symptoms rather than simply diagnosing them with an unfamiliar medical term, we allow them to make informed decisions about their health. In my practice, I strive to help patients truly understand the root cause of their symptoms and arm them with the knowledge and confidence to seek the available treatments.”
