At Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), we deeply value and honor the remarkable contributions and achievements of Hispanic Americans in the United States. As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15, 2024), we are equally proud of the positive impact CVR has made on the lives of our Hispanic patients and colleagues.
"I am honored to be part of the Hispanic Community and to celebrate their contributions and achievements. Thanks to Center for Vein Restoration, I can provide critical healthcare that the community needs so they may continue to prosper." – Dr. Eddie Fernandez, CVR lead physician, Bethesda/Rockville, Maryland, and Silver Spring, Maryland
As the nation’s leading provider in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency (also known as vein disease), CVR is steadfast in its commitment to expanding care cost-efficiently, particularly to meet the healthcare needs of Hispanic communities. With multiple locations in the greater New York City, New Jersey, Washington DC, Detroit, and Chicago markets, we diagnose and treat venous disorders in underserved populations, knowing this is critical to ensuring both individual and community health.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, CVR encourages all Hispanic families to take charge of their health by considering a vein assessment, especially if venous insufficiency runs in the family. Your proactive approach can make a significant difference to your family's health and well-being.
A study published by Phlebolymphology analyzed the significant role of heredity in chronic venous disease (CVD) and related conditions like varicose veins and venous ulcers. The study underscores the importance of the genetic component, with a strong family history observed in many patients. While social and environmental factors, such as obesity and prolonged standing, also play a role, the genetic component is of the utmost importance.
At CVR, we strongly encourage Hispanic families to seek a vein assessment appointment to identify potential issues early and explore effective treatment options. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life, allowing individuals to maintain their health and continue contributing to the vibrancy of their communities.
CVR accepts many insurances, including Aetna, Amerigroup, Anthem, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, MultiPlan, Medicaid, Medicare, and more.

To better serve our Hispanic patients, CVR hosts a dedicated Spanish-language website. This platform provides vital vein education and healthy lifestyle information, empowering the Spanish-speaking community to take control of their vein health. Thanks to our efforts, CVR has seen a significant increase in Spanish-first website traffic, reflecting our success in engaging this vital demographic.
Diversity and equitable career paths are core values at CVR. Among our nearly 800 employees, more than 23 percent self-identify as Hispanic or Latino. To further enhance our services to Hispanic communities, we actively recruit bilingual Spanish-speaking professionals in various healthcare roles, including vascular technologists, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical assistants, and medical receptionists.
Driven by a shared passion for improving lives impacted by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), our team at CVR makes a meaningful difference in the communities we serve, particularly in Hispanic communities. CVR was honored with the 2021 Top Workplaces USA award, and our CEO, Sanjiv Lakhanpal, MD, was named to Glassdoor’s Top CEOs list.

Chronic venous insufficiency is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition affecting 30 to 40 million Americans. CVI occurs when the veins in the legs cannot efficiently return blood to the heart, often due to weakened or damaged valves. This leads to symptoms like achy, heavy legs, swelling, and varicose veins. Risk factors include age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, and a family history of vein disease.
The condition can be managed with conservative treatments like compression stockings, but more advanced cases may require minimally invasive procedures such as sclerotherapy or laser therapy. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications like skin ulcers and chronic pain.
Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is the largest physician-led practice in the country dedicated to treating vein disease. Since performing our first procedure in 2007, CVR has become nationally recognized for clinical excellence in treating chronic venous insufficiency. With over 110 centers and growing, CVR conducts more than 200,000 patient interactions annually and maintains a 98 percent patient satisfaction rating.
