More About Dr. Claudia Rios

The Queen of Veins

Dr. Claudia Rios has long been considered the Queen of Veins for her international reputation and incredible results with spider and varicose vein treatment.  For over a decade, she was at the world-renowned Vein Treatment Center in the Upper East Side of Manhattan where she honed her incredible skill for spider vein treatment.  In 2021, she started her vein clinic  in Midtown Manhattan where she provides minimally invasive vein treatments and cryo-sclerotherapy.

 

Cryo-Sclerotherapy

Dr. Claudia Rios is a pioneer for utilizing cryotherapy in combination with sclerotherapy.  Sclerotherapy provides the most effective method for spider vein treatment, however some patients can have a heightened anxiety with needles.  Cryosclerotherapy is a measure to enhance patient comfort and decrease anxiety with sclerotherapy treatment. The whole procedure is done using a cryo unit that produces a continuous flow of cold air to the sites of application of sclerotherapy injections. The result is the cold air anesthetizes the skin so the treatment is relatively painless. Additionally, the application of cold air and refrigerated sclerotherapy solution enhances our results by cold vasoconstriction of the targeted vessels.  

Humanitarian Missions

Since 2003, the HHPF has offered vein care as part of its service learning trip to provide needed medical care to the underserved people of Honduras.  Dr. Claudia Rios has been on the mission twice and most recently in 2023 with our lead ultrasound technician, Suzan Chaghlil. 

 

The HHPF runs Vein Sclerotherapy clinic sites in three Honduran cities: LaCeiba, Tela, and Olanchito. Our group joins in transforming churches and a Red Cross building into top-quality patient care facilities.

 

The typical clinic workday starts with a breakfast meeting at 7 a.m. followed by a short group walk to the clinic to see patients starting at 8 a.m. until 5 pm. Patients are registered and triaged based on the severity of their symptoms with the help of people from local organizations like the Red Cross. The vein clinic will run for one week, Monday thru Friday. The goal is to see every patient that comes looking for care.

 

The people of Honduras always welcome us with open arms and are very appreciative of the treatments that we provide. With limited access to healthcare facilities or medical resources, there is a great need for this mission trip. 

 

During every trip, we have the opportunity to learn from other healthcare professionals with different cultures and backgrounds, making this trip a unique experience. We form long-lasting friendships and gain a sense of purpose and fulfillment.  In 2024, both Dr. Rios and Suzan have been invited again to join the trip and will be part of a new team bringing expertise and resources to the region.  

 

 

Medical Mission

Varicose Veins in Teaneck


Are you feeling the effects of varicose veins? Over 30 million Americans are living with the same condition, but the symptoms can be considerably different.  If you are struggling with unsightly veins or unexplained leg pain, there is a good reason to start considering a trip to the “vein clinic near me in Teaneck.”

Teaneck is home to one one of our state-of-the-art vein treatment clinics in New Jersey.  We stand-out from a large number of other vein centers for several reasons:

 

  1. Our entire team of vein doctors are board-certified vascular specialists and formally trained in evaluating and treating vascular conditions.

  2. Teaneck office is led by board-certified vein specialist and diplomate of the ABVLM, Dr. Claudia Rios.

  3. We provide on-site, same-day consultations and ultrasound testing to minimize time-consuming separate visits.

  4. We do not compromise your safety or results using non-vascular trained physicians with unrelated board-certifications in Pain Management or Physiatry.  Ethical vein treatment means giving you the best expertise available in the field. 

Our Vein Specialists in Bergen County

In New Jersey, our vein experts are Dr. Faisal Siddiqi, Dr. Ankur Aggarwal, Dr. Claudia Rios and Dr. Simon Smith. They are responsible for all consultations and vein treatments at our New Jersey locations.  In Bergen County, we have two top-rated vein clinics in Teaneck and Paramus New Jersey. Dr. Rios provides expert care in Teaneck and has international recognition for her work in vein disease.  

And,while just about anyone with a medical degree can claim to be a vein specialist, our team is carefully selected to provide meaningful expertise to our patients.  Importantly, our physicians have fully dedicated their clinical practices to the management of vein disease.  Leaving out additional distractions, we have set ourselves apart for delivering high quality ethical and safe care.

What Is Vein Disease?

Vein diseases including varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, affecting your quality of life. CVI is a disease that occurs slowly over time and is typically associated with a strong family history of vein disease.  Most commonly one parent or more will have a history of varicose veins.  Vein disease is also connected to certain lifestyle factors, including prolonged standing or sitting in stationary positions, aging, smoking, and excess weight. A history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can also be associated with the development of varicose veins through diseased valves. 

All of these conditions can damage the valves in your leg veins, which are responsible for keeping blood flowing in the correct direction. When they become damaged through either direct injury or wear and tear, blood can flow towards the legs with gravity and pool in your feet and legs (“leaky veins”), making it harder to pump back toward your heart. 

The cause of vein disease is important, however the consequences of untreated advanced vein disease is of greater concern.   Varicose veins and spider veins are the most obvious physical symptom, but patients should be aware of common symptoms including leg heaviness, leg cramps, charlie horses, restless legs, skin discoloration and leg swelling. 

In Teaneck, we treat several vein health conditions, including:

  • Venous insufficiency: Damage to your vein valves over time leads to CVI, which in turn leads to spider veins and varicose veins, along with many other symptoms.  Vein disease is characterized by stages and anyone suffering from pain, swelling or skin changes is recommended to see a vein specialist for further evaluation.   

  • Spider veins: Can be cosmetic or the visible sign of underlying venous insufficiency.  An increasing appearance of spider veins or other visible signs of vascular disease should be checked by a specialist.

  • Varicose veins: Unlike spider veins, varicose veins are bulging, twisted veins that stick protrude from the skin. On an ultrasound, most varicose veins can be easily traced to the source confirming a diagnosis of venous insufficiency.  Varicose veins may be the cause of your leg pain, swelling, or heaviness and are easily correctable once identified. 

  • Leg heaviness: Weighted, tired legs are commonly the result of venous insufficiency.  A bothersome symptom many patients become accustomed to until more significant problems arise including leg swelling or skin discoloration.  Unexplained symptoms like leg heaviness or cramps is a valid reason to have an ultrasound to assess for vein disease.  

  • Leg cramps: Leg cramps, restless legs, charlie horses are not uncommon with vein disease.  Despite mineral supplementation with magnesium, hydration, or even certain nerve acting medications, the pain persists.   Venous insufficiency is the most common cause of restless legs and is often overlooked. 

  • Leg swelling: This is a difficult one but known result of untreated vein disease.  If you have unexplained swelling or edema, a workup for vein disease including a venous reflux ultrasound is recommended.

How Do I Know I Need Vein Treatment?

The first thing is getting an expert physician evaluation.  This can be a vascular surgeon, cardiovascular specialist or vascular medicine specialist with certification from the American Board of Vascular and Lymphatic Medicine. Patients seeking unqualified care risk unnecessary vein treatments and potentially complications such as DVT, permanent scarring and nerve injuries. 

Our team of vein doctors consider several factors when evaluating your condition:

  1. Understanding your symptoms and how they might relate to underlying venous insufficiency.  We need to ask ourselves, will vein treatment cure the symptoms described?

  2. What are the goals of treatment? Improving quality of life, eliminating uncomfortable symptoms, removing unsightly veins, or reducing the risk of ulcer formation.

  3. Can minimally-invasive treatments be successful? Vein ablation is the gold standard for modern vein treatment.  At our vein clinics, we additionally use foam sclerotherapy and phlebectomy to complete our treatment for the best results. 

  4. Does the patient have risk for recurrent vein disease?

  5. What risk factors are important in the treatment plan?  A history of dvt, migraines, cardiac conditions, or recurrent varicose veins influences our decision making.

 

 

What Are My Options For Vein Treatment in Teaneck?

Our varicose vein centers specialize in state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatments using all available tools to treat your vein condition. Whether you want to clear away unsightly veins or treat your leg pain or heaviness our approach is patient-centered.  We always take your individual needs and safety into consideration first and foremost.


At this point, most patients are aware that vein stripping is outdated and modern techniques include vein ablation and sclerotherapy. These minimally-invasive techniques are now a mainstay in vein clinics in modern medicine and have eliminated the need for open incisions and prolonged recoveries. The average time to complete a procedure is 30 minutes or less with most patients resuming normal activity within days.  


We offer all accepted and effective treatment options at our office in Teaneck to achieve excellent outcomes. Your vein specialist will work with you to determine which option is best suited to your cosmetic and vein health goals.

Sclerotherapy

For small spider veins (or telangiectasias), our physicians use liquid sclerotherapy. This method uses tiny needles to inject a sclerosing agent directly into the spider veins.  The medication irritates the targeted vessels, causing them to collapse. With time, the body reabsorbs the treated veins.  Most patients require two to four separate sessions of sclerotherapy for desired results. 

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the gold standard treating underlying venous insufficiency.  The usual target is a saphenous vein that demonstrates abnormal flow on an ultrasound and leads to varicose veins.  It is a medical technique intended to relieve symptoms of vein disease and improve venous circulation in the legs.  The treatment is minimally-invasive and with proper expertise can be performed directly in the office with local anesthesia only.  

VenaSeal™ 

An alternative to RFA ablation, VenaSeal is also a catheter based technique that uses a medial adhesive to close the targeted saphenous veins.  It is an FDA-approved method for treating varicose veins that does not use lasers, heat, or other chemicals. At our vein centers, VenaSeal is used in select cases only based on our experience.

Foam Sclerotherapy 

Foam sclerotherapy uses polidocanol endovenous microfoam (PEM) in higher concentrations to target large varicosities. The sclerosant is delivered in a foam consistency to treat varicose veins.  In our clinic, foam sclerotherapy is used in combination with RFA ablation for the best results.  It is also a useful medication to treat recurrent vein disease when RFA is not suitable.

Phlebectomy

Sometimes, the best way to remove large bulky varicose veins is not to inject them but to remove them. It is still a minimally-invasive procedure and far different than vein stripping.  The procedure can be done in the office or surgical center using local anesthetic.  Phlebectomy involves removing problem veins using a small hook inserted through tiny punctures in your skin. The advantage of phlebectomy is the ability to achieve rapid resolution of large varicose veins.

Comprehensive Vein Treatment Teaneck NJ

Chronic venous insufficiency is a medical condition associated with symptoms from spider veins and varicose veins.
