For years, I dealt with bulging veins and discomfort that only seemed to get worse. The team explained everything clearly and made me feel confident about moving forward. The results have been incredible — my legs look so much better, and I’m finally comfortable being active again. I’m truly grateful for the care I received.

Before treatment, the veins in my leg were very noticeable and made me feel self-conscious. I also experienced heaviness and discomfort at the end of the day. After coming to CVR, I’ve seen a big improvement in how my leg looks and feels. The veins are significantly reduced, and I’m much more comfortable and confident. I’m so grateful for the care I received.

Before treatment, my legs felt heavy, and the bulging veins were becoming more noticeable and uncomfortable. I finally decided to get checked out at CVR. After treatment, my legs feel lighter, look much better, and I’m more comfortable staying active. The team was professional and supportive throughout the entire process. I’m very happy with my results.

Before treatment, the bulging veins in my leg were uncomfortable and hard to ignore. I felt heaviness and didn’t like how my leg looked. After coming to CVR, I’ve seen such a difference. My leg feels better, the veins have improved significantly, and I feel more confident. I’m so thankful for the care and results.

Before treatment, I was dealing with visible bulging veins and discomfort in my leg that didn’t seem to go away. After coming to CVR, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both how my leg looks and how it feels. The process was smooth, and the team made me feel confident every step of the way. I’m glad I took care of it.

With more than three decades as a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Gurmendi has witnessed firsthand how venous disease, often undertreated or overlooked, can dramatically affect patients’ lives. He has long incorporated vein care into his surgical practice, particularly in wound care settings for patients with venous stasis ulcers. Witnessing patients heal and regain their quality of life inspired him to dedicate his next chapter to vein medicine.
A proud husband of over three decades and father of three accomplished children: a pediatric dental specialist, a neuroscience researcher, and a Harvard Business School graduate, Dr. Gurmendi brings the same dedication to his patients as he does to his family.
Outside of medicine, he and his wife enjoy hiking the stunning landscapes of New Mexico, a state they have proudly made their home.
Family-First Care: Every patient deserves the same thoughtful, thorough attention I would give a member of my own family. That guiding principle shapes every consultation and every treatment decision.
Confidence Through Competence: Patients facing any procedure deserve a physician who is both skilled and reassuring. My decades of surgical training allow me to approach vein care with calm authority — helping patients feel at ease even when they are nervous.
