Expert Interventional Radiologist
Vein disease is a vascular condition, not just a cosmetic one. Dr. Chong assesses underlying venous anatomy and blood flow patterns, not only what is visible on the surface.

Vein Treatments in Jacksonville & St. Augustine, FL
Non-surgical care for varicose veins, spider veins, and chronic venous insufficiency.
Outpatient Vein Treatments Close to Home
Vein problems are often more than cosmetic. When one-way valves inside leg veins weaken or fail, blood pools in the lower legs instead of returning to the heart.
At Minimally Invasive Vascular, Dr. Kok Chong evaluates and treats venous conditions using outpatient, non-surgical procedures. No vein stripping. No general anesthesia. No hospital stay.

Conditions We Treat
Spider Veins
Small, dilated blood vessels visible near the surface of the skin. Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for spider veins.
Varicose Veins
Enlarged, twisted superficial veins that may cause aching, heaviness, swelling, cramping, and irritation.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Sustained valve failure that can cause swelling, skin discoloration, thickening, and venous ulcers.
Symptoms of Venous Disease
- Visibly enlarged or twisted veins on the legs
- Leg heaviness, aching, fatigue, or swelling
- Itching, burning, or irritation over varicose veins
- Skin discoloration or thickening around the ankle
- Open sores or wounds that are slow to heal
- Restless or crampy legs at night
Treatment Options
Sclerotherapy
A fine needle injects solution into spider veins or small varicose veins so the treated vein is gradually absorbed.
Endovenous Thermal Ablation
Heat energy closes the diseased saphenous vein from inside, redirecting blood flow through healthy veins.
Catheter-Based Venous Procedures
For more complex venous obstruction, venoplasty or venous stenting may restore adequate drainage.
What to Expect
Your visit begins with a consultation and duplex ultrasound evaluation. Dr. Chong reviews the findings with you and recommends a treatment approach based on your venous anatomy, symptoms, and goals.
Most treatment sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes. You will receive clear instructions on what to expect during recovery and follow-up.
