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.

Michael Harding, MD, is passionate about promoting healthy veins. His mission is teaching patients about why bringing the blood up from the feet and back up to the heart is critical for good health.
Dr. Harding has more than 25 years in cardiovascular medicine and hundreds of hours with patients in the Cath Lab. He thoroughly understands circulation and how veins and arteries work together for good health.
Over his 25 years of medical practice in Albuquerque, Dr. Harding became a leader and innovator in the cardiology community. But Dr. Harding is perhaps best known for his patient care. In 2017 and 2018, over 400 patients gave him 5-star ratings for the care they received. Patients' reviews highlight his kindness, compassion, and medical competency.
Dr. Harding starts each patient relationship by understanding the patient’s background, stresses, and interests because he believes this is essential to diagnose and treat each patient effectively. Together with the dedicated team at Center for Vein Restoration, patients report their experiences as being both personal and professional, with high-quality medical results.
Dr. Harding is board certified in Vascular Medicine, Cardiology, and Internal Medicine. He graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, where he also completed his Residency Program in Internal Medicine. He then went to Duke University for a Fellowship in Cardiology.
From Duke, Dr. Harding moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for an Interventional Fellowship at Vancouver General Hospital. In Canada, he became an expert in coronary stents two years before the FDA released the device in the United States. Dr. Harding has degrees in both Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Columbia University and Sewanee: The University of the South.
In 1992, Dr. Harding brought his specialized knowledge of stents (also known as “PTCA”) to New Mexico. Since then, he has participated in numerous technical and academic advances. He never stopped searching for new ways to care for his patients. Identifying a void in caring for patients with vascular problems outside of the heart, over time, he expanded his interests to vascular ultrasound and vascular medicine, including not only peripheral artery disease, but also the many forms of vasculitis, thrombophilias, and, of course, complex venous disease.
In his personal time, Dr. Harding can be found hiking the Sandia Mountains. He is an avid fly-fisherman and skier. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Dr. Harding met his wife, Janet, while they were studying in New York City. His two daughters, Natalie and Lauren, live away from home but are always close to his heart. Dr. Harding hopes to care, treat, and heal New Mexican patients for many years to come.
