Do You Recognize These Symptoms?
Many vein conditions cause uncomfortable physical symptoms that can disrupt your daily life. If you experience any of the following, we encourage you to schedule a professional evaluation:
- Leg Swelling: Persistent swelling in the ankles or calves, especially after long periods of standing.
- Leg Cramps: Frequent muscle contractions, often at night, which can disrupt sleep.
- Restless Legs: An uncomfortable urge to move your legs, often accompanied by “creepy-crawly” sensations.
- Leg Heaviness: A feeling of fatigue or “weighted” legs that makes movement feel like a chore.
Advanced Treatments by Dr. Kyle Mele
All treatments at our Staten Island clinic are led by Dr. Kyle Mele, a Board-certified Vein Specialist and Anesthesiologist. Dr. Mele specializes in the latest, non-surgical techniques to address the underlying causes of venous insufficiency.
- MD & Board-Certified Anesthesiologist
- Specialist in Venous and Lymphatic Medicine
- Expert in Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
Our Minimally Invasive Treatment Options:
- High-Resolution Ultrasound Screening: We use advanced imaging to map your venous system and identify exactly where valves are failing.
- Sclerotherapy: Ideal for spider veins and small varicose veins, this involves a gentle injection that causes diseased veins to fade away. Learn more about Sclerotherapy.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A specialized procedure that uses thermal energy to seal larger damaged veins, rerouting blood flow to healthier vessels. Learn more about RFA.

New Patient Checklist: Preparing for Your Visit
To make your first visit as smooth as possible, please keep this checklist in mind:
- Bring Your ID & Insurance Card: We will need these to verify your benefits on-site.
- Wear Loose Clothing: Loose-fitting pants or shorts are ideal, as we will need to perform an ultrasound screening of your legs.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water before your visit helps make your veins more visible on the ultrasound.
- List Your Symptoms: Note when your leg pain or swelling is at its worst (e.g., “after a 4-hour shift” or “at 2:00 AM”).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)?
A: CVI occurs when the valves in your leg veins don’t work effectively, causing blood to pool. This leads to the swelling and pain you may be feeling.
Q: Are vein treatments painful?
A: Our procedures are minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia. Most patients report feeling only a minor pinch or a sensation of warmth.
Q: What should I expect on my first visit? A:
You will meet with Dr. Mele for a physical exam and a high-resolution ultrasound. We will explain your diagnosis in plain English and provide a clear path toward relief.
