David Shevitz

Dr. Shevitz has practiced at Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Boca Raton, Florida, and at the Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) in Charleston, West Virginia. There, he served as Assistant Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medical Director of the HealthNet Aeromedical helicopter program.

Dr. Shevitz is certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, and the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He is a member of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society and the American Medical Association.

"My original specialty was emergency medicine, which demanded broad expertise in the acute care of a wide range of conditions," says Dr. Shevitz. "The emergency department is open around the clock and far less predictable, and many of my patients were facing serious, at times life-threatening, conditions."

After 17 years in that setting, Dr. Shevitz changed course and trained extensively in the treatment of varicose veins,  and has practiced vein care exclusively since 2007.

"I was drawn to the idea of focusing on and mastering one area of medicine in a more controlled, scheduled environment. It was also appealing to know my patients would consistently experience positive, rewarding outcomes. The years since have confirmed that this was the right decision."

Treating venous insufficiency relies on minimally invasive, relatively painless techniques, Dr. Shevitz confirms. He enjoys performing vein procedures, knowing these office-based treatments can significantly improve his patients' quality of life, which drives his commitment to vein care.

Dr. Shevitz describes his personal work in the field of venous insufficiency and areas where he has a particular focus:

“I am comfortable treating the entire range of vein disease, from the smallest spider vein to the large ropey varicosities that can even lead to ulcerations of the lower leg. What I specialize in is treating the apprehensive patient. The office environment is friendly; we engage the patients and make them feel comfortable. This, in turn, reduces the patient’s anxiety and makes for a more pleasant experience.”
