EAST PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island Medical Imaging recently expanded its varicose vein therapy services; The Vein Institute at Rhode Island Medical Imaging, formerly the Rhode Island Vascular Institute, will offer patients access to the only dedicated image-guided vein therapy centers in Rhode Island.
“We believe our current patients will continue to benefit greatly from the state-of-the-art care offered at The Vein Institute at RIMI and that our expansion will make it more convenient and comfortable for patients receiving the very best care in the treatment of venous disease,” Dr. John Pezzullo, RIMI president, said in a statement.
The Vein Institute specializes in the comprehensive care of varicose veins and other venous diseases. Led by interventional radiologists specially trained to navigate the venous system, it offers patients a complete clinical evaluation and treatment plan all in one consultation.
Dr. Gregory M. Soares, director of The Vein Institute, was the first physician to offer EndoVenous Laser therapy in Rhode Island, more than 14 years ago. One of the earliest physicians to implement EVLA in the country, he is nationally recognized for his expertise in the management of patients with venous disease.
“The Vein Institute has revolutionized the way we treat venous diseases in Rhode Island,” Soares said in a statement. “As the state’s first and still sole provider of dedicated image-guided varicose vein treatment, we have the skill, experience and technology to expertly manage all aspects of venous disease in the safest, least invasive fashion available anywhere.”
With current locations in Providence and East Greenwich, and new locations opening this spring in Pawtucket and Barrington, The Vein Institute will be staffed by six board-certified interventional radiologists.
