More About Dr. Cogan
Dr. Cogan spent the first eight years of her medical career as a minimally invasive surgeon, practicing in women’s health. During this time, she witnessed first-hand the burden of varicose vein disease for women related to pregnancy. As her interest in vascular medicine grew, she pursued vein care as a specialty, and has spent a decade treating both men and women with vein disease.
Propelled by her passion for improving the quality of her patient's lives, Dr. Cogan devoted her career to ultrasound diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for problem veins.
