Why Patients Choose Dr. Anandan

Many people live with leg heaviness, swelling, achiness, or visible veins for years before seeking help. In her five years as a hospitalist, Dr. Anandan saw how often vein disease was missed, mislabeled, or treated only when advanced. That experience motivated her to concentrate her training in venous and lymphatic medicine and to focus her practice on preventing complications before they start.

Her care is:

• Proactive and preventive. She emphasizes early diagnosis to reduce the risk of leg ulcers, skin changes, or blood clots.
• Patient-centered. Every visit is a two-way conversation with clear explanations, visual aids when helpful, and time for questions.
• Holistic. With a foundation in internal medicine, she evaluates vein problems in the context of overall health, medications, mobility, and lifestyle.

Training and Credentials You Can Trust

• Board Certification: Internal Medicine, American Board of Internal Medicine
• Fellowship:  Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, Center for Vein Restoration
• Residency: Internal Medicine, Griffin Hospital, Derby, CT
• Medical Education: MD in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Madras Medical College, India; MBBS from Coimbatore Medical College, India
• Academic Appointment: Clinical Instructor, Yale School of Medicine
• Memberships:  American Venous Forum,  American College of Physicians
• Languages: English, Tamil, Telugu

Patients appreciate this combination of bedside empathy, academic rigor, and hands-on technical skill. Referring providers value her thoughtful documentation, timely feedback, and evidence-based treatment plans that support long-term outcomes.

Vein Conditions Treated by Dr. Anandan 

If your day ends with tired, heavy legs, or if you notice ankle swelling that seems to creep up over time, you may be experiencing more than normal aging. Dr. Anandan evaluates and treats a wide range of venous and lymphatic problems, including:

• Varicose veins and spider veins
• Chronic venous insufficiency and leg swelling
• Venous ulcers and skin changes related to vein disease
• Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
• Lymphedema
• Lipedema

Common symptoms patients overlook include aching, throbbing, restlessness at night, itching, ankle or calf swelling, skin discoloration, tenderness along a vein, or a sense of pressure or fullness in the pelvis. If any of these sound familiar, an evaluation can clarify the cause and create a clear pathway to relief.

Modern, Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment

Today’s vein care is different from the old stories you may have heard. Vein procedures are minimally invasive, performed in-clinic, and involve little to no downtime. After a focused ultrasound evaluation and a detailed discussion of your goals, Dr. Anandan may recommend one or more of the following evidence-based approaches:

• Thermal or adhesive vein closure to treat refluxing trunks
• Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy for targeted segments
• Cosmetic sclerotherapy for surface spider veins
• Compression therapy and lifestyle strategies to support circulation
• Lymphedema care plans that integrate pumps, wraps, and skin care when appropriate

Dr. Anandan’s goal is simple: Treat the cause, not just the surface. Reduce symptoms, protect the skin, and help you walk, stand, work, and sleep with greater ease.

A Vein Care Philosophy Grounded in Listening

When asked to summarize her approach, Dr. Anandan returns to these three pillars.

1. Listen first. Every person’s story is unique. She takes time to understand your symptoms, your routine, and what relief looks like in your life.
2. Educate clearly. She explains vein anatomy and test results in plain language. You leave knowing what is happening in your veins and why each step of the plan matters.
3. Treat thoughtfully. She tailors treatment to your anatomy, health history, and goals, then follows through to monitor progress and fine-tune as needed.

Should You Consider a Vein Evaluation?

You do not need to wait for severe symptoms to take action and seek professional vein care. Consider scheduling at any of Center for Vein Restoration's 120+ vein clinics nationwide if you have:

• Persistent leg heaviness or swelling after standing or sitting
• Aching, cramping, or restlessness at night
• Visible varicose veins or clusters of spider veins that are tender or itchy
• Skin changes near the ankles, such as darkening or irritation
• A history of pregnancy-related vein problems
• A family history of varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency

Early intervention can prevent progression, protect skin, and shorten the path to relief.
