  Dr. Isaacs has specialized in the treatment of vein disease since 1990. He has served on the faculty of the American College of Phlebology and the Union Internationale de Phlebologie. As an early proponent of the use of duplex ultrasound to guide the treatment of varicose veins, Dr. Isaacs was asked to join in the original FDA trial study of endovenous laser, a method of treatment that has now become the gold standard for non-surgical treatment of large varicose veins. Dr. Isaacs is very enthusiastic about the effectiveness of sclerotherapy and other non-surgical modalities for the entire spectrum of vein disease.
  Vein Specialists of Northern California would proudly like to announce that we were chosen to be the first office in the Bay Area to treat patients suffering from venous reflux disease with the VenaSeal™ closure system. This new, minimally invasive procedure uses an advanced medical adhesive to coapt (close) the diseased vein in patients with symptomatic venous reflux disease. Patients treated with the VenaSeal™ closure system usually have minimal to no bruising, and are able to quickly resume normal daily activities. This procedure is office based and done in under an hour.
