MD, FACS, DABVLM
Dr. Ashley Baquero is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine with more than four decades of experience in complex vascular, transplant, and vein care. His extensive background in surgical medicine gives him a uniquely comprehensive understanding of how circulation and vessel health influence a patient’s overall well-being.
Dr. Baquero’s passion for vein care grew from his years as a transplant and vascular surgeon, where he witnessed firsthand how blood flow affects organ function, mobility, and quality of life. This perspective shapes his patient-centered approach today:
“Venous disease is not a cosmetic problem. When veins do not work properly, people lose comfort, confidence, and the freedom to move the way they want. My goal is always to restore circulation using the least invasive, most effective methods available.”
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.

Dr. Baquero earned his medical degree with honors from the University Autonomous of Santo Domingo before completing his surgical residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. He continued his training through a transplant surgery fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia (VCU), later becoming a national and international leader in transplant medicine, ethics, and vascular health. After decades of service as a transplant surgeon, educator, and global advocate for ethical transplantation, he transitioned his practice to focus exclusively on minimally invasive treatment for vein disorders.
Before joining Center for Vein Restoration, Dr. Baquero practiced transplant and vascular surgery across the United States and abroad, ultimately performing the first living donor kidney transplant in the Dominican Republic and establishing long-standing charitable initiatives to improve access to care. His global work in organ donation and transplant ethics includes leadership roles that have shaped policy across Latin America and earned recognition from organizations twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
At CVR, Dr. Baquero combines decades of surgical mastery with the precision of modern, image-guided vein treatments. He is known for his meticulous technique, calm bedside manner, and deep commitment to helping patients understand their vein health and feel confident in their treatment decisions.
“When a patient trusts me with their care, they are trusting me with their quality of life. I never take that for granted. My goal is to give every patient the comfort, mobility, and peace of mind they deserve.”
