R. Lance Dillon

Board-certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Radiology, Dr. Dillon experienced a rewarding career as an Interventional Radiologist, which gave him unique insights into the compassionate diagnosis, treatment, and management of venous diseases. The skills he acquired using ultrasound for diagnostics and procedural guidance are perfectly suited to the practice of Phlebology.

Dr. Dillon’s journey to becoming a vein specialist began at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where he studied Biology and was among the first to graduate with honors from a combined degree program in Biopsychology. He also worked as a medical technician, treating patients with peripheral vascular disease using an innovative cardiac-gated external compression device, and additionally became a certified EMT while in college. After college, he studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.

It was during his medical school years that he developed an interest in medical imaging and decided to pursue a career in Radiology. In 2006, while still practicing Radiology full-time and seeking a better understanding of healthcare economics and management, he enrolled in the Business School at George Washington University in Washington, DC, graduating with high honors (Beta Gamma Sigma) and a MBA in healthcare administration.

Later, while serving as director of his department at Ocean Medical Center in Brick, New Jersey, Dr. Dillon was recognized by the American College of Radiology as a Center of Excellence (2011) and was also recognized twice at his hospital as Physician of the Year (2008, 2013).

He is a member of the American College of Phlebology, the American College of Radiology, the American Medical Association, the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society, the Medical Society of New Jersey, and the Radiologic Society of North America.

After these rewarding professional milestones, Dr. Dillon is proud to be part of the team at Center for Vein Restoration, where the physicians are committed to bringing relief to patients coping with venous disease.

“I enjoy being at the forefront of medical technology. It brings me great satisfaction to be able to apply my expertise with intravascular treatment techniques to a condition that historically required surgery.”

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

“As an experienced Interventional Radiologist, I am highly qualified in the practice of venous ultrasound as well as delivering minimally invasive catheter-directed therapies such as thermal and chemical ablations of incompetent veins.”

His dedication to providing state-of-the-art treatments comes at an important time – an estimated 40 million Americans now suffer from vein disease. 

“Venous insufficiency is a relatively prevalent disease, yet it does not have the public awareness that it deserves. I enjoy helping patients recognize and understand their condition, and also witnessing the dramatic results that can occur during and after treatment.”
