ALASKA VEIN CLINIC

Alaska Vein Clinic treats vericose veins and vein disease through minimally invasive procedures.

At the Alaska Vein Clinic you will be cared for by Robert R Artwohl, MD, a board certified general surgeon who has been practicing general, vascular, and venous surgery in Anchorage for over 12 years and who can deal with every aspect of your venous disease. Assisting him is Juli Gwin-Stewart, a registered vascular sonographer with over 25 years of experience specializing in the ultrasound diagnosis of venous disorders. The Alaska Vein Clinic has safely treated over one thousand Alaskans.

By the age of 60, over 70% of women and over 40% of men will suffer from the symptoms of venous reflux. Today, over 25 million Americans suffer from venous insufficiency.

Varicose veins, leg aching, itching, or swelling may all be caused by refluxing superficial leg veins. The Alaska Vein Clinic uses the latest technology to accurately diagnose and treat symptoms of venous insufficiency.

Gone are the days of painful vein stripping. Most vein conditions can now be treated by minimally invasive procedures, including VNUS Closure, Angiodynamics Venacure, ultrasound guided venous chemical ablation, and microstab phlebectomy. Most of these procedures are performed right in our office and allow patients to resume normal activities in one day.

Let our welcoming and friendly staff help you with your vein problems, from diagnosis, treatment, insurance authorization, and comprehensive follow up.
