Vein & Vascular Institute

What Vein & Vascular Institute does

Vein & Vascular Institute is a private, physician-owned outpatient medical practice headquartered in Voorhees, New Jersey, that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease and offers a complementary cosmetic MedSpa. Founded in August 2005 by board-certified vascular surgeon Dr. Charles L. Dietzek after his tenure as Chief of Vascular Surgery at UMDNJ-SOM (now RowanSOM), the practice operates three South Jersey clinic locations—Voorhees, Vineland, and Washington Township/Sewell—each with 5,000 sq ft of clinical space, multiple in-office procedure suites, IAC-accredited vascular testing, and standing-venous-ultrasound diagnostics. The practice has treated more than 50,000 patients and is led by Dr. Dietzek alongside vascular surgeon Dr. Elias Fakhoury, nurse practitioner Erika Dietzek, and medical aesthetician Jill Townsend.

The clinical offering centers on minimally invasive vein treatments for varicose veins, spider veins, chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), superficial venous thrombosis, venous ulcers, and lymphedema. The procedure mix includes radiofrequency ablation (ClosureFast), endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, VenaSeal medical-adhesive closure, ClariVein mechanochemical ablation, microphlebectomy, microfoam injection, VeinGogh thermo-coagulation, and specialized wound-care management, with optional patient-controlled nitrous oxide (Nitronox) sedation. A distinguishing operational element is the region's first and only outpatient DVT Rapid Response Program, providing same-day evaluation, on-site ultrasound, and direct vascular-surgeon consultation without requiring an emergency-room visit. The practice also operates a full MedSpa (VVI MedSpa) offering botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic-acid and calcium-based dermal fillers, microneedling, dermaplaning, chemical peels, and Latisse.

Revenue is generated through professional-services billing across insurance-reimbursed vein treatments (covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, AmeriHealth, and most HMO plans) and direct-pay aesthetic services through the MedSpa. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients book through a website or call center with complimentary initial vein evaluations and free insurance verification, supported by a multi-channel marketing mix that includes television health segments (CBS3, ABC6, NBC10, Fox29, PHL17, The Doctors), educational blog and YouTube content, Google reviews and patient testimonials, organic social, and community service-area pages. The practice is founder-owned, has raised no outside capital, and operates from Voorhees, Vineland, and Sewell serving South Jersey and the Philadelphia tri-state area.

Brands

• VVI MedSpa: Medical spa offering cosmetic treatments including Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microneedling under the direction of Dr. Charles Dietzek.

Products and services

• Sclerotherapy Standard treatment for small varicose and spider veins using an injected sclerosing solution that causes the veins to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. It is performed for adult patients with small visible veins seeking cosmetic or symptomatic relief.
• Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy performed with real-time ultrasound imaging to guide needle placement and assess injection requirements for deeper or non-visible veins. It targets patients with underlying venous reflux that cannot be adequately addressed by visual sclerotherapy alone.
• Microphlebectomy Minimally invasive procedure that uses local anesthesia to remove varicose veins through 2-3mm incisions without stitches. It is intended for patients with larger surface varicose veins that are not amenable to thermal or chemical closure techniques.
• ClosureFast (Radiofrequency Ablation) Minimally invasive alternative to vein stripping that uses radiofrequency energy to close symptomatic varicose veins and treat venous reflux. It is offered to patients with chronic venous insufficiency and is performed by vascular surgeons in-office.
• ClariVein Specialty infusion catheter with a rotating wire tip that provides controlled dispersion of sclerosant agents, combining mechanical and chemical action without thermal energy or painful tumescent anesthesia. It is positioned for patients seeking a non-thermal closure option.
• VenaSeal Non-thermal, non-tumescent, non-sclerosant procedure that uses a medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close veins without anesthesia or post-procedure compression stockings. It is intended for patients who want minimal downtime and no compression therapy.
• Microfoam Injection Minimally invasive treatment that uses an injectable foam solution to fill and collapse diseased veins, with blood redirected to healthier veins. It is suited for patients with larger varicose veins requiring chemical closure.
• Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Minimally invasive procedure that uses laser light delivered through a thin fiber to close malfunctioning veins. It is offered to patients with venous reflux with reported up to 98% patient satisfaction for up to 5 years.
• VeinGogh Radiofrequency treatment using thermo-coagulation to collapse spider veins on the face and legs with instant visible results. It is targeted at patients with small, visible spider veins who want immediate cosmetic improvement.
• Laser Ablation of Spider Veins Laser technology treatment for spider veins on the face and legs, particularly effective for red skinny lines on the nose and cheeks. It is intended for patients with small facial spider veins sensitive to other modalities.
• Nitronox Plus (Patient-Controlled Nitrous Oxide) Patient-controlled nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation available during vein treatment procedures for anxiety relief. It provides rapid onset and offset, allowing patients to drive themselves to and from their appointments.
• Wound Care Management Specialized treatment for venous stasis ulcers including perforator vein closures and TIRS foam sclerotherapy combined with compression therapy. It targets patients with chronic open wounds caused by venous insufficiency.
• Medical Grade Compression Socks Professionally fitted compression stockings in various pressure levels for improving circulation and managing vein-related conditions. Sold to patients following diagnosis or treatment to support ongoing symptom management.
• DVT Rapid Response Program Outpatient DVT Rapid Response Program providing same-day evaluation with specialized ultrasound, vascular surgeon consultation, and coordinated follow-up care without requiring ER visits. It is targeted at patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis or post-thrombotic syndrome seeking urgent outpatient care.
