JULY 6, 2020: Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to announce the opening of its flagship location in Massachusetts in the city of Framingham, a suburb of Boston. The location marks the 19th state to currently have a CVR location, and the furthest east facility of the bi-coastal organization. The office, which overlooks Sucker Pond, is led by Dr. Pamela Kim, one of the newer physicians to join the company. Dr. Kim has dedicated her education and research efforts to the study of vascular surgery and phlebology, making her the perfect fit for the national practice exclusively focused on veins and venous disorders.

“I am truly honored to represent Center for Vein Restoration in the state of Massachusetts, and excited to bring a clinical eye to vein care in this area,” she concluded.

Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, Founder and CEO; Dr. Khanh Q. Nguyen, Chief Medical Officer; and Ken Abod, CFO at CVR are all pleased to welcome Dr. Kim to the company. “When I started CVR in 2007, my vision for the company was to offer comprehensive vein care throughout the United States, and opening a practice in Massachusetts brings us one step closer to that goal,” said Dr. Lakhanpal.

Of Dr. Kim, Dr. Lakhanpal said, “All of our physicians strive for complete patient care with a special focus on venous and lymphatic disorders. Dr. Kim’s background makes her an ideal cultural fit for our organization, and we look forward to her growth within the company.”

ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and indiscriminately affects between 30–40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.
