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.
A native of Chicago, Dominic J. Tolitano, MD, is a nationally recognized cardiovascular surgeon who joined Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) specifically to provide vein care to patients suffering from venous insufficiency. Dr. Tolitano serves as Senior Thoracic and Vascular Surgeon at Franciscan Physicians Hospital and Senior Vascular Surgeon at Mercy Hospital in Munster, in addition to his duties as a vein doctor with CVR.
Dr. Tolitano earned his medical degree at the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science. He completed a fellowship in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Loyola University Medical Center and a general surgery residency at Michael Reese Hospital. For his work as Chief Resident and Chief Fellow at both medical institutions, Dr. Tolitano was awarded certification in cardiovascular and thoracic medicine.
Dr. Tolitano is a specialist in phlebology (a specialist in specialists in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of venous diseases). He uses minimally invasive outpatient therapies to treat varicose veins, spider veins, varicose veins, ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, and other vein problems. His patients rate him highly for his ability to communicate the symptoms and treatment options for venous insufficiency.
Dr. Tolitano was one of the first vascular surgeons to use advanced minimally invasive techniques to treat chronic venous disease. In practice for over three decades, he has performed thousands of vein procedures to treat chronic venous insufficiency.
“I have been in a fortunate position to watch this exciting field of medicine evolve over the past decade,” Dr. Tolitano says. “The Center for Vein Restoration is on the cutting edge of our field, and I am proud to have joined them.” – Dr. Dominic J. Tolitano

“ Dr. Tolitano and his team are outstanding. They could not have been more caring and accommodating. Dr. Tolitano spent a lot of time with me discussing my procedure and answering all my questions in a non rushed and caring manner. The day of my surgery I was a little nervous, however, Dr. Tolitano was reassuring. He even made a few jokes to make me laugh. Afterwards, it was as if I had a caring friend telling me all went well. Dr. Tolitano lives and breathes being a physician/surgeon and values the connection he has with his patients as this is the key to success. Lori, the office manager, is highly organized. Her office runs smoothly resulting in appointments being on time. The care and concern Lori has for patients is second to none. I could not have had a better experience. It's wonderful to know there still are doctors and their staff out there who take the time and truly care about patients. ”

“ My father has varicose veins and chronic venous stasis. His legs became more swollen and painful. He was seen by his primary care physician who referred him to a neurologist and pain specialist who were unable to alleviate the pain. As a nurse, I suspected a DVT but his primary care physician did not agree and no further work up was ordered. I suggested he go to the emergency room to be evaluated, but my father refused. I was lucky to come across an advertisement for the Center for Vein Restoration (CVR)in Wood Dale, Illinois. The intake coordinator confirmed that a full lower extremity vascular work up would be completed and was able to get him in right away. He was seen by Dr. Dominic Tolitano ( Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon) at CVR. The work up in the clinic revealed extensive blood clots. Dr Tolitano advised him to be further evaluated asap at the hospital. He underwent additional testing at the hospital and required the surgical evacuation of extensive venous clots (that was not able to be performed in a clinic setting). Throughout his hospitalization, Dr. Tolitano was in communication with the vascular surgeon at the hospital. We are forever grateful to Dr. Dominic Tolitano for his professionalism and expertise in evaluating, diagnosing, and assisting in the treatment of my father's DVT's (blood clots)to his lower extremities (legs). My father continues to follow up with Dr.Tolitano regularly. I can tell you from my many years as a nurse that there are very few as wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring physicians as Dr. Tolitano. This can also be reflected in his office staff who are friendly (especially Lori) who always take the time to answer questions. I would rate Dr.Tolitano and his office staff 10 stars if I could! ”

Venous disease occurs when the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart efficiently. This can result in:
These uncomfortable symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive and will worsen without treatment.
Vascular care providers at vein treatment centers use cutting-edge minimally invasive treatments available. CVR’s modern outpatient care plans are highly superior to the vein-stripping methods used in the past.
Our vein 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 solution that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip and destroys the diseased vein.
CVR also offers a wide variety of other treatment options, including:
Vein treatments take about an hour or less to complete, allowing patients to return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are needed because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our outpatient treatments require only local anesthetics. Recovery and symptom relief are fast, with little to no scarring.
