Vein Treatment
Board Certified Phlebologist

Welcome to the Vein Center
Of Orange County Website
.................................

Located in Irvine, Vein Center of Orange County is the premier vein disorder center in Southern California specializing exclusively in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of venous disorders including spider veins  and varicose veins.

Dr. Alan Kanter is a pioneer in the treatment of vein disorders. Since 1990 he has dedicated his practice exclusively to Phlebology and does not offer unrelated procedures such as Botox injections, liposuction, hair removal, etc. VCOC is proud to have been the first devoted vein center in Irvine, CA to introduce the following major advances:

  • Duplex-guided sclerotherapy (1991)
  • Color-flow duplex ultrasound imaging (1994)
  • Foam sclerotherapy (2000)
  • Duplex-guided ELVeS® endovenous laser ablation (2004)
  • Duplex-guided ELVeS® “Gentle Laser” endovenous ablation (2009)

And available starting January of 2010, we are pleased to be one of the first Orange County facilities to offer Veinwave™ treatment for smaller, more resistant fine pink spider veins on the legs and face.

Dr. Kanter is board certified by the American Board of Phlebology (2008), and is also certified as a Registered Vascular Tech (RVT) by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (2008). This means Dr. Kanter is eminently qualified to perform both diagnostic ultrasound mapping and guided treatment, enabling him to complete each patient's course of therapy from beginning to end.

Although your own personal physician's referral is a good starting point, Internet browsing can be useful in choosing a specialist. During the course of your comparison, observe closely for a doctor's qualifications and experience, such as:

  • Phlebology board certification
  • ACP Fellow
  • Local and international recognition
  • RVT (ultrasound) credential
  • American Venous Forum (AVF) member
  • Author of medical journal publications

Dr. Kanter's achievements are summarized in About Dr. Kanter. Please explore our web site to learn more about the services we offer at our center in Irvine, California. Or, if you prefer to view a brief summary, you may download our VCOC brochure.

We also suggest you read what the largest professional society devoted to venous disorders in the U.S. has to say; click here to visit the ACP. Dr. Kanter was one of several prominent physicians who contributed to the recently updated on-line patient brochure you will find at the ACP web site, and was granted the honor of ACP "Fellow" membership status in 2004 for his contributions to the field of Phlebology.
