Office hours

Monday - Friday from 9AM-5PM.

Dr. Masoud A. AlZeerah is the president and founder of Amarillo Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery, P.A. and Varicose Vein Clinic of Amarillo. Dr. AlZeerah has extensive training and experience in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, and now in addition to treating cardiac patients, Dr. AlZeerah is pleased to offer the latest technique in the treatment of varicose veins. Endovenous radiofrequency ablation offers a minimally invasive technique as an alternative to traditional stripping of varicose veins. This procedure is performed in the office, and takes approximately 45 minutes. Most patients can return to work in 1-2 days. This is an extremely successful procedure with minimal complications, and is considered a new gold standard for treatment of varicose veins.

Varicose Vein Clinic of Amarillo is dedicated to providing state of the art alternatives to our patients suffering from varicose veins and venous disease.

Vein Treatments:

After a comprehensive evaluation that includes an ultra-sound examination of the veins, our vein specialists will determine the optimal treatment for each patient's needs.

Our Services Include:

VNUS Closure Procedure; Veinwave; Ambulatory Phlebectomy; Sclerotherapy.

The VNUS Closure procedure, an alternative treatment option to traditional vein stripping surgery, brings state-of-the-art technology to an age-old disease.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is a method of surgical removal of surface veins. This is usually completed in our office using local anesthesia. Incisions are tiny (stitches are generally not necessary) and typically leave imperceptible puncture mark scars. Post-operative discomfort is minimal. After the vein has been removed by phlebectomy, a bandage and/or compression stocking is worn for a short period.

Sclerotherapy is a cosmetic medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. A tiny needle is used to inject a solution directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Overtime, the body will absorb the treated vein. Mild discomfort may occur, and a cramping sensation may be felt for 1 to 2 minutes when larger veins are injected. The number of veins injected in one session is variable, depending on the size and location of the veins, and the patient's overall medical condition. Anywhere from one to several sclerotherapy sessions may be needed for any vein region. Medically prescribed support hose and/or bandages may need to be worn for several days to several weeks to assist in resolution of the veins. In general, spider veins respond to treatment in 3 to 6 weeks, and larger veins respond in 3 to 4 months.
