At Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), our mission is to provide expert care for all vein conditions, ranging from cosmetic concerns, such as spider veins, to advanced conditions like venous ulcers and pelvic congestion syndrome. As the nation’s leader in vein care, we continually expand our reach to better serve more communities with the highest standards of compassionate, innovative vein care.
That’s why we’re proud to announce the opening of our very first CVR clinic in Houston, Texas, led by highly respected vascular surgeon Dr. H. Andrew Hansen. A native Texan and cardiovascular surgery veteran, Dr. Hansen brings deep expertise, a compassionate approach, and a decades-long legacy of excellence to his new Houston-based CVR practice.
Dr. Hansen is a Texas-born, Texas-trained vascular specialist with more than 40 years of surgical experience. He grew up just 100 miles from Houston in Port Arthur, attended Texas A&M University, and was a proud member of the inaugural class at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. He later earned Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honors and trained under one of his childhood heroes, the legendary Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, at Baylor College of Medicine. He went on to complete advanced training in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at Emory University.
Throughout his career, Dr. Hansen has practiced in both academic and private settings, including serving on the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine. His experience spans the full spectrum of cardiovascular, thoracic, and peripheral vascular care.
After recognizing an opportunity to introduce the benefits of minimally invasive vein care to the office setting, he never looked back:
“I did my first ablation of the great saphenous vein in 2005, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s been incredibly rewarding to help patients feel better and live better—without the stress and risks of major surgery.” – Dr. Andrew Hansen
Dr. Hansen’s decision to focus on office-based, minimally invasive vein care wasn’t just about medical innovation. It was about quality of life—for both him and his patients.
“Cardiovascular surgery is stressful and demanding, and you don’t always get to build relationships with patients in the ICU. But with vein care, I get to know my patients. I play golf with them. I go to dinner with some of them. One patient even joked she felt like she should invite me over for Sunday tea!” – Dr. Andrew Hansen
That personal connection drives Dr. Hansen. He treats every patient like family and ensures they receive the same level of care he would want for himself. His motto is patients first, always—and he means it.
After following CVR’s tremendous growth and attending Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs provided by CVR for years, Dr. Hansen knew the time was right to open Houston's first CVR clinic.
“I’ve watched CVR grow into a leader in vein care, and I’ve been impressed by their integrity, their innovation, and the quality of their educational programs. When I attended the national meeting in Baltimore, the energy was incredible. It reminded me of an Apple product launch! I knew I had to be part of it.” – Dr. Andrew Hansen

Dr. Hansen’s new Houston-based CVR vein clinic offers the latest minimally invasive vein treatments in a welcoming, state-of-the-art setting. Treatments are:
🔹 Performed as an outpatient in a comfortable office setting
🔹 Quick and effective
🔹 Minimally invasive—no general anesthesia, no stitches, no hospital stay
🔹 Designed to improve symptoms like leg pain, swelling, heaviness, fatigue, restless legs, and skin changes
Most importantly, patients will receive compassionate care and open communication.
“I’m obsessive-compulsive about patient care. I stay at the cutting edge of technology and make sure every patient feels heard, understood, and cared for. That’s the standard I set for myself and my team.” – Dr. Andrew Hansen
Dr. Hansen is committed to excellent communication with his referring providers:
“I keep my referring doctors informed every step of the way—whether that’s through instant notes, personal letters, or a quick text message. Communication is critical to providing the best possible patient care.” – Dr. Andrew Hansen
Dr. Hansen’s reputation precedes him—not only because of his impressive credentials but also because of his deep roots in the Texas community. As a proud Texas A&M alumnus and former President of the A&M Former Students Association, Dr. Hansen is known and trusted by generations of Texans.
He’s also a board-certified member of the American Vein & Lymphatic Society (AVLS) and an active member of several prestigious surgical societies including the Michael E. DeBakey International Surgical Society and the Denton A. Cooley Surgical Society—two organizations named for the giants who helped build the Texas Medical Center into a global hub for healthcare excellence.
Center for Vein Restoration is honored to welcome Dr. Andrew Hansen and his new clinic to the CVR family. We’re proud to bring trusted, transformative vein care to more people in Texas and beyond.
Welcome to the CVR family, Dr. Hansen!
