Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to serve patients at our Portage vein clinic. The physicians and staff at CVR Portage have decades of collective experience treating symptoms of vein diseases such as varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other vein conditions related to chronic venous insufficiency (vein disease).
The board-certified physicians at Center for Vein Restoration are world-renowned vein specialists, authors, lecturers, and trainers on the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating vein disease. Commitment to patient care goes beyond physician credentials, however. Our entire team works together to provide our patients with a level of comfort and understanding.
CVR in Portage is one of our nine vein clinic locations in Michigan. It’s located in Kalamazoo County, the smaller of the two main cities in the Kalamazoo-Portage metropolitan area. Because Portage shares a boundary with Kalamazoo, a city in southern Michigan, Dr. Ford and her caring vein center staff welcome patients from both areas to treat vein conditions. Considered one of the best places to live in Michigan, Portage offers residents a dense suburban feel and plenty of things to do.
One of the area’s most unique attractions, the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Center is an aviation museum and indoor amusement park next to the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport in Portage. Just six miles from our vein clinic, the museum features a large collection of restored aircraft and spacecraft and includes interactive exhibits and flight simulators. The center also hosts various events and educational programs dedicated to preserving aviation history and fostering interest in the fascinating field of aerospace.
Enjoy the great outdoors at Portage Creek Bicentennial Park (PCBP), a picturesque spot about five miles from our clinic with meandering hiking and biking trails, picnic and grilling areas, fishing opportunities, and scenic views of Portage Creek. The area is popular for nature walks and other relaxing and recreational outdoor experiences. Described as the “backbone” of the Portage park system, PCBP’s 200+ acres also include several playgrounds and sports fields, making it an ideal destination for solo travelers and families alike.
Those looking for a quaint and cozy piece of the Portage outdoors will find quiet luxury during a visit to Lakeview Park, which spans 26 acres along the shores of Austin Lake. Its two piers provide easy fishing access for Portage anglers. Other amenities include a baseball diamond, a basketball court, tennis and volleyball courts, a walking track, a picnic area with pavilions, and a trail system with varying difficulty levels.
Get a closer look at Portage’s natural environment at the Kalamazoo Nature Center (KNC). Approximately 16 miles from our Portage vein clinic, the KNC—a non-profit nature preserve—features over 15 miles of trails, bolstering its mission to nurture relationships that inspire love for the discovery, enjoyment, care, and value of nature. With about 1,100 acres of diverse habitats that include wooded forests, wetlands, prairies, and wetlands, the KNC is considered one of the top nature centers in the country and offers ongoing opportunities for ecological exploration and education for all visitors.
See an iconic piece of Portage past at the Celery Flats Historical Area, which includes the Historic Grain Elevator. About three miles from our vein clinic, the preserved site celebrates the area’s rich agricultural heritage, particularly involving celery farming. It encompasses a restored 19th-century barn and several other structures that showcase local farming history while hosting educational events and community activities. It is a great place to learn about the area's historical roots.
No trip to Portage is complete without touring the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA), less than ten miles from our vein clinic. Considered both an art museum and an educational center, the KIA boasts collections of American and regional pieces, contemporary works, and rotating displays. Art classes, workshops, and community events are regularly held, as well. Since its establishment in 1924, the KIA has dedicated itself to fostering the creation and appreciation of visual arts in the community.
Whether you're interested in outdoor adventure, history, or arts and culture, Portage and its surrounding areas have plenty to offer all visitors.

Adria L. Ford, DO, earned her medical degree at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in East Lansing, Michigan. She completed an internship and residency at Metro Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan, before dedicating her career to treating chronic venous insufficiency. She is pleased to treat vein disease using minimally invasive outpatient procedures that allow her patients to resume normal activity immediately, with few restrictions.
“I enjoy being able to educate and help people improve their quality of life though the treatment of venous insufficiency using a simple office-based procedure to do it. People experience relief from the throbbing, heaviness, and swelling, among other symptoms, that their varicose veins cause, and it also helps them feel better about the appearance of their legs. People are amazed by the ease of the procedure and how quickly they feel relief after suffering for years and years.”
Dr. Ford is a member of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and the American Osteopathic Association. She is board certified through the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery.
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.
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:
Itching
Swelling
Varicose veins
Spider veins
Feelings of heaviness
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 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:
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.
