Vein Institute of Pinellas

What Vein Institute of Pinellas does

Vein Institute of Pinellas (also operating as VIP / VeinsVIP) is a privately held medical practice specializing in the diagnosis and outpatient treatment of venous disease. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, the practice operates two clinic locations in the Tampa Bay area — Clearwater (2251 Drew St) and St. Petersburg (5500 Dr. MLK Jr. St. N.) — and serves adult patients with varicose veins, spider veins, chronic venous insufficiency, leg pain, swelling, and related conditions.

The practice delivers a comprehensive suite of minimally invasive, image-guided vein treatments, including Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), VenaSeal adhesive closure, Varithena foam sclerotherapy, Ambulatory Phlebectomy, Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGS), and Medical Sclerotherapy. Vascular ultrasound imaging is used both diagnostically and intra-procedurally for precise vein localization. All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and minimal downtime, and the practice prescribes medical-grade compression stockings as a complementary therapy.

The business runs on a fee-for-service professional services model, with revenue generated per procedure and most treatments covered by Medicare and major insurance plans when medically necessary. The practice is led by Paige Bourbeau, ARNP, a University of South Florida MSN graduate (2012) recognized by the American College of Phlebology for venous insufficiency expertise. Patient acquisition combines a digital presence (blog, Facebook, Instagram, Google reviews, Yelp) with referrals from primary care physicians, free initial consultations, and extended weekday office hours to accommodate working patients.

Products and services

• Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) An outpatient procedure that uses heat from a laser to shrink, close, and seal varicose veins; performed for adult patients with varicose veins seeking minimally invasive treatment with same-day return to normal activities.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) A treatment for varicose veins using radiofrequency energy to heat and close problem veins, causing them to shrink and disappear; performed for adult patients with varicose veins in an outpatient setting.
• VenaSeal A medical adhesive-based vein closure system used to treat varicose veins and spider veins by sealing them closed, featuring fast recovery and minimal bruising compared to other treatments; intended for adult patients with varicose or spider veins.
• Varithena Foam Sclerotherapy A foam sclerotherapy treatment that injects a proprietary foam solution into the affected vein to close it; used to treat varicose veins in adult patients as an outpatient procedure.
• Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGS) A treatment for deep, diseased varicose veins not easily visible through the skin, using ultrasound guidance to precisely locate veins and inject a solution to collapse them; intended for adult patients with deeper varicose veins.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy (AP) A minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins bulging near the superficial portion of the skin through small slit-like incisions; intended for adult patients with superficial bulging varicose veins.
• Medical Sclerotherapy Treatment (MST) A treatment for bulging blue/purple reticular veins and red spider veins at the skin's surface using sclerosing solution injected through micro-needles, with gradual results over several weeks; intended for adult patients with surface spider or reticular veins.
• Vascular Ultrasound Diagnostic Examination Advanced ultrasound-based diagnostic examination used to inspect veins often missed by other vein centers, support accurate diagnosis of venous insufficiency, and guide precise treatment delivery; intended for adult patients undergoing vein evaluation.
• Medical-Grade Compression Stockings Medical-grade compression hosiery available in multiple compression levels (15-20 mmHg, 20-30 mmHg, 30-40 mmHg, 40-50 mmHg), prescribed to support vein health, reduce swelling, and aid post-treatment recovery for adult patients with vein conditions.

Direct peers

• USA Vein Clinics: One of the largest networks of vein treatment clinics in the United States, offering EVLT, RFA, VenaSeal, and sclerotherapy. Directly comparable to VIP as a multi-location, insurance-accepting outpatient phlebology chain with overlapping procedures and patient demographic.
• Center for Vein Restoration: The largest physician-led vein treatment practice in the US with dozens of clinic locations. Operates the same minimally invasive vein treatment model (EVLT, RFA, VenaSeal, sclerotherapy, phlebectomy) under an insurance-based reimbursement model targeting the same chronic venous insufficiency patient segment.
• InVein (InShape Medical): A clinic operator focused on minimally invasive vein treatments including VenaSeal and ablation procedures. Comparable as a smaller, multi-modality phlebology practice targeting the same elective venous insufficiency market through insurance and cash-pay channels.
• Vein Clinics of America: Historically one of the largest US vein clinic chains offering EVLT, sclerotherapy, and ambulatory phlebectomy. A directly comparable phlebology practice model; while the brand has undergone ownership changes, it remains a structural peer for any independent vein center in terms of service offering and patient base.

Others

• American Vein & Lymphatic Society (formerly American College of Phlebology): The professional society for phlebology practitioners that has recognized VIP's lead clinician for venous insufficiency expertise. Functions as an industry credentialing and training body, indirectly shaping the standard of care and competitive set that VIP operates within.

Broad incumbents

• Medtronic (VenaSeal): Manufacturer of the VenaSeal closure system, one of the core treatment modalities used by VIP. Not a direct competitor but the dominant supplier of the device category that defines the practice's service offering, and a structural peer in the broader venous care ecosystem.
• AngioDynamics (Varithena): Manufacturer of Varithena foam sclerotherapy, another key treatment modality offered by VIP. Operates upstream of independent vein clinics; relevant as a strategic supplier whose pricing and product availability directly shape VIP's procedural economics.

Regional players

• Vein & Vascular Institute of Tampa Bay: Local Tampa Bay competitor offering overlapping vein treatment services to the same Pinellas/Hillsborough patient base. Directly competes for patients in VIP's core geography with comparable insurance-accepted service lines.
• Total Vein Care: Multi-location vein treatment provider operating in the Florida region. Directly comparable procedural menu (endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, phlebectomy) and insurance-based reimbursement model, but with broader regional Florida presence than VIP's Tampa Bay footprint.
• Artisan Vein Center: Independent vein treatment practice operating in the same Florida market with comparable minimally invasive procedures (endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy). A regional peer competing for the same patient demographic within driving distance of VIP's Tampa Bay clinics.
