Meet Dr. Harris

Evan W. Harris, MD, DVIR, DABVLM, RPVI, specializes in vascular interventional radiology at Center for Vein Restoration (CVR). He is the lead physician at the Glastonbury and Middletown, Connecticut, clinic locations.

Dr. Harris serves as the Associate Director of Center for Vein Restoration’s Venous and Lymphatic Medicine Fellowship program, designed to provide broad training in diagnosing and managing patients suffering from chronic venous disorders.

Dr. Harris is an expert in diagnosing and treating vein conditions (venous disease) using safe, effective, minimally invasive outpatient procedures. These in-office treatments address the discomfort associated with venous insufficiency, including varicose veins and spider veins, as well as swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, skin discoloration, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

With over 25 years of medical experience, Dr. Harris obtained additional certifications as a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine and a registered physician in Vascular Imaging, where he could bring this most robust set of skills to the adult population. He is also a member of the following medical societies: the American Society of Functional Neuroradiology, the American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology, the American Society of Neuroradiology, and the Society of Interventional Radiology.

Services at Center for Vein Restoration, Middletown

Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer a wide range of innovative treatment options for leg pain, swelling, cramping, itching, varicose veins, spider veins, restless legs 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, meaning it will get worse 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 in-office treatment requires only local anesthetics and recovery and symptom relief are fast, and there is little to no scarring.
