VEIN CENTER

Tom Tran, PA-C and Michael Richards, PA-C have more than 20 combined years of experience in the field of Phlebology, the treatment of vein disease. They are the founding members of Comprehensive Vein Center treating patients in the Villages and Ocala for over 9 years. They feature highly specialized treatment for varicose veins. They perform the latest minimally invasive procedures that replaced surgeries for varicose veins— EndoVenous Laser Treatment and Radiofrequency ablations as well as ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and cosmetic vein treatments. The treatment includes a detailed ultrasound evaluation by a certified vascular sonographer. These procedures require no hospitalization and only local anesthesia. “We close off the vein, with Laser or RF heat and the body absorbs the vein with no scaring or surgical wounds. Everything is done here in our offices, so there’s no need to worry about doing tests elsewhere,” Michael says. “We are dedicated vein specialists.” The staff understands you want your legs to feel and look good. They have now joined with Solanki Cardiology and Associates to offer comprehensive care and are currently accepting new patients.

NEUROSURGEON HARRY C. WEISER, MD, FA ANS, FACS

Harry C. Weiser, MD, diplomate, American Board of Neurological Surgery, is a board-certified neuroAsurgeon with Central Florida Health, where he specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cranial and spinal disorders, pain management and procedures, and cranial/spinal surgery. Dr. Weiser also has advanced training in stereotactic navigation of both the spine and brain. Comparable to the way a GPS works in a vehicle, stereotactic technology provides 3-D navigation by mapping the location of an abnormality and sending information to the MRI system in real time, giving Dr. Weiser a clear image of the precise position that needs treatment. Stereotactic surgery is touted as ideal for patients with tumors deep in the brain, and the minimally invasive procedure often means a quicker recovery time.
