Meet Dr. Shah

Anuj Shah, MD, FACEP, earned his medical degree at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He completed his residency training at Summa Health Systems and Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio. He graduated from the esteemed combined 6-year BS/MD program through Kent State University and Northeast Ohio Medical University. He is board-certified in Emergency Medicine.

During his residency training, Dr. Shah first began using ultrasound in the care of his patients. Since then, Dr. Shah has amassed more than 20 years of experience with ultrasound-guided venous access, the very foundation used in the minimally invasive vein procedures offered at CVR’s vein clinics.

“Traditionally, venous disease was underappreciated, and quite frankly, not many options existed for its detailed evaluation and treatment. With ultrasound and catheter-based treatment, we are now able to treat diseased veins precisely and quite efficiently.” – Dr. Anuj Shah

Dr. Shah is a managing partner in the emergency department at Holy Cross Hospitals in Silver Spring and Germantown, Maryland. He also is an assistant clinical professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine.

Services at Center for Vein Restoration, Germantown

Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer a wide range of innovative treatment options for leg pain, swelling, cramping, itching, varicose veins, spider veins, restless leg syndrome, ulcers, and other symptoms of vascular disease.

Symptoms of vein problems

When the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart, it can be a sign of venous disease.

The result can be:

• Leg pain

• Itching

• Swelling

• Cramping

• Varicose veins

• Spider veins

• Feelings of heaviness

• Skin discoloration

• Ulcers

These symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive and will likely worsen without treatment.

Vein treatment options

Vein care providers at vein treatment clinics use the most advanced minimally invasive treatments available today. CVR’s modern outpatient treatment plans are far superior to the older vein-stripping methods used in the past.

Treatments include VenaSeal, a proprietary medical adhesive that safely closes off varicose veins, and ClariVein, a two-in-one approach that uses an ablation device to inject a sclerosing agent that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip, which destroys the diseased vein.

At Center for Vein Restoration, we offer a wide variety of other treatment options, including:

• Sclerotherapy

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Endovenous laser ablation

• Ambulatory phlebectomy

Vein treatments take approximately an hour or less to complete, and patients can return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are required because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our outpatient vein treatments require only local anesthetics. Recovery and symptom relief are fast, and there is little to no scarring.
