Veins
Visible veins are more common than you might think, and more treatable than you might expect. Our board-certified dermatologists can help you understand what you're seeing and build a plan that's right for you.
What Are Veins?
Vein conditions occur when blood vessels near the surface of the skin become visible, enlarged, or dysfunctional. The two most common types are spider veins and varicose veins, both of which can appear on the legs, face, and other areas of the body.
Spider veins are small, web-like clusters of red, purple, or blue vessels that sit just beneath the skin. They are generally harmless, but many patients find them cosmetically bothersome. Varicose veins are larger, rope-like veins that bulge beneath the skin and can sometimes cause discomfort, heaviness, or aching in the legs.
While vein conditions are rarely dangerous on their own, they can be a sign of underlying venous insufficiency, which is a condition in which the valves inside the veins are not functioning properly, allowing blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back toward the heart. A dermatologist can evaluate your veins, determine the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment.

I had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Giblin. He performed a cyst excision for me and from the very beginning, I felt I was in excellent hands. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process and patiently answered all of my questions, which greatly eased my concerns. During the procedure, he consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable. His calm and reassuring manner made the whole experience much easier than I had expected. After the procedure, he carefully reviewed the wound care instructions step by step to ensure I fully understood how to take care of myself at home. I was especially touched that he personally called me later that evening to check on how I was doing. That level of care truly meant a great deal to me. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. He is not only highly skilled, but also kind, attentive, and deeply committed to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Giblin to anyone seeking exceptional medical care. Patient : Zhenkun Zhao

Updated Review (Friday, 02/06/2026) First engagement (AAD Call Center – 5/5 stars) I contacted Anne Arundel Dermatology (AAD) December 2025 to seek out a PA that I worked with 8yrs ago. That PA has since moved on to their own practice. The call center representative was gracious and listened well to what I needed (e.g. I had tight timeframe; they helped identify possible solutions). They identified a PA who was available during the timeframe and who had completed similar procedures, so that I could likely move more easily from the initial consultation to the procedure. Second engagement (Somil Metha, PA-C – 1/5 stars) My initial consultation at AAD-Greenbelt. I met with Somil Metha, PA-C. Initially, I felt well-served during the appointment, and I left a Google-review immediately afterward stating five stars. However, what I learned in the five hours following my appointment with Somil is that I was not actually served well during this appointment. Long story short: I was referred out to physicians outside of the network (why? I don’t know); it was implied that these referrals were warm-handoffs (when they were indeed cold referrals; I would have to start from scratch with a brand-new consultation); and the follow up for these referrals, along with the calls that afternoon to AAD to figure out ‘what is going on here?’ took up the remainder of that Monday (five hours). The run-around with the next steps, resulting in exhausted time, energy, and resources – truly a 0/5. Third/Fourth Engagements (Customer Service Center – 5/5 stars; Helena at the AAD-Greenbelt office – 20/5 stars) In the five hours after the consult with Somil, I spoke with the AAD Call Center twice. While I didn’t get the name of the first call center person I spoke to, he was kind, helpful, asked good clarifying questions to ensure he got things done right the first time. He provided clear timelines of when I could expect to hear back regarding my questions. The second person I spoke to works directly in the dermatology office where I first visited, Helena. Helena is a godsend. Within one call, she professionally acknowledged that things should have been handled differently for me earlier in the day, and got everything back on track. NOTE: it is a super skill to acknowledge when a company/person has dropped the ball, and to do so without throwing them under the bus, or airing grievances that the client doesn’t need to be a part of, AND to get things immediately back on track and moving forward – Helena did ALL this, and more, within about 15-20min of the call I had with her. Thank you, Helena. I was heard, acknowledged, and supported. Helena asked clarifying questions, literally hand-walked the issue at hand within the office to get the needed answers and next steps, and then got me immediately scheduled with a PA who was immediately available and also skilled in the procedure I needed. Fifth/Sixth/Seventh Engagements (Taj Richardson, PA-C – 20/5 stars; Taj’s support team, all 3 appts – 15/5 stars) From the initial consultation, to the procedure itself, to the post-procedure follow-up: wow-o-wow, did I land in the most capable, supportive, professional care. The initial consultation was thorough. Taj is professional, kind, engaging, informative, and she listens and asks questions in a way that ensures all points have been covered and nothing is unclear to either her or the patient. The procedure itself – while I would guess that what, to me, felt like Taj putting in extra care and attention, is actually just her everyday professionalism and approach to her work, is how genuinely cared for I felt under her care. Here I am on the other side, 2.5wks later, and there is hardly even a scar; the wound site remained infection-free; and the area that needed to be treated is smooth, pain-free, and completely cleared. The staff that support Taj, from the initial consultation, the procedure itself, to the post-op follow-up: all incredible too, and follow in her professional, attentive, patient-engaged footsteps. Taj & Staff: You are all appreciated.

Today I was a patient again at Dermatologists Specialists on Town Park Lane in Evans, GA. I saw Dr. Ken Johnson Having lived in different places in my 86 years, I can truthfully recommend him highly. He is so pleasant and professional. He listens and is very gentle with his procedures. The staff is great, and they are so nice and helpful, and everything is kept very clean. Marilyn Susan Woods

Grateful for the professionalism and compassion from Carrie Tauscher. I was pretty upset to find out i had cancer and needed mohs surgery. Carrie comforted me with the procedure and what to expect. She was right on. Dr Zook was compassionate too and I had little scaring. Highly recommended!
Christine A.
My providers (Ashley and Sarah) explained every step of the treatment and made sure I understood how it would benefit my skin. The results have been incredible — my skin feels refreshed, smooth, and glowing! I also appreciated the personalized skincare recommendations for maintaining long-term results.
Christine A.
Friendly staff and helpful. My Daughter loves Juliea.

I had a visit recently with Tao Kim at Anne Arundel Dermatology. The wait once I arrived was minimal. Tao and her assistant (truly sorry I don't remember her name) , but she was wonderful, making me feel comfortable and getting me ready for my full body check. I would recommend this practice and especially the providers I had.
Christine A.
Awesome staff and friendly!
Christine A.
Beautiful office and experience! I had a VI Peel with Charu Jain, CRNP. She was very kind and knowledgeable and helped me choose the correct service for my skin. I really appreciate someone who is honest with me about my needs instead of just letting me purchase a treatment that would have minimal results. She did several passes over my skin as requested and made sure I was comfortable. Here's where she went above and beyond...I accidentally misplaced my post-peel kit and realized when I got home. Her team met me in Baltimore to give me a new kit!! This is beyond 5-star service! My skin was glowing after my peel, and I cannot wait for another one. If you haven't already tried the new Meridiem Annapolis, I highly recommend it!
Christine A.
Dr. Ronald Prussick is very caring and thorough.
Christine A.
Dr Harvey and his staff are an excellent choice for skin care. He and his staff are always welcoming with their knowledgeable, friendly, and professional manner. The office is clean and comfortable and the building offers ample parking with handicapped spaces close to the entry, which is covered for easy drop off should there be rain. I wouldn’t want to go any where else.
Christine A.
The office staff is very nice, courteous & organized. The nurse & PA are very nice, courteous & knowledgeable. I would highly recommend! Thank you

I was thoroughly impressed with the service I received during a recent visit. I was skeptical at first based on the reviews. I was greeted by a welcoming front desk staff, and Nathali Rodriguez, PA answered my questions and provided insightful information regarding my skincare.

Academic Alliance in Dermatology is the best. Dr. Lam is great. He is so pleasant as is every one else in his practice from the minute you walk in. He takes his time with you and doesn't rush you. Very thorough and takes care of any concerns you might have. I highly recommend Dr. Lam. Have been a PT of his since 2014 and since I had melanoma in the past, before I started seeing him, I get seen q6mos for routine total body exams.

My experience was excellent with Atlanta Dermatology! It was very easy to book an appointment and they were able to fit me in the next day. I was sent links to fill out the paperwork before my appointment making streamlining the appointment very easy! The entire staff was very friendly and professional. I waited less than 10 minutes before I was seen. Stephanie was very attentive to my concerns and answered any questions that I had. I highly recommend Atlanta Dermatology based upon my awesome experience!!

Great office, nice staff and will provide the appropriate treatments. My only issue would be the communication channels. It is very difficult to communicate directly with the office leading to a bit of frustration/confusion.
Christine A.
I definitely recommend this facility! Took time to listen and even took time to look at something that was not why I had initially scheduled an appointment.
Christine A.
Just left the office. EVERYONE is there to HELP! I seen Frank, you know when doctors are passionate about helping you and when they are not. Not only did Frank explain my situation very clearly, but created a gameplan on how we are going to get relief. Very thankful for Frank and his team.
Christine A.
This is the best dermatologist I’ve ever been to. The staff actually cares about their patients. They’re so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding. Super grateful for this office
Christine A.
I have a sebaceous cyst that after many years has finally decided to become inflamed- getting a dermatologist who wants to handle the old-fashioned medical stuff is getting very hard to do as the MONEY these days is in the cosmetic stuff, Botox,fillers ,skin care lines , etc . These people can do it all, and do it promptly !
Christine A.
Very positive experience. Walked into a crowded reception room and expected a long wait, but it only took a few minutes for me to see the doctor. Very efficiently run practice and I was treated with great care.
Christine A.
I highly recommend Dr. Orleans and her support staff. Dr. Orleans is very professional, knowledgeable and easy going. I feel 100% comfortable having her as my dermatology doctor. Her support staff is always on time and super nice. Thank you Dr. Orleans and staff!

Highly recommend seeing Dr Becker!

Had terrible, ichy rash. Was able to get an appointment fairly soon after calling due to a cancelation. Doctor prescribed a cream that worked first time used! Since I had the ichy rash for over a month I needed relief ASAP! I applied the cream as directed and after 1 day I had relief from the itch and the rash abated within the next couple days!! An excellent result! Thank you so much! First time in a long time my doctor visit resulted in fast, v
Christine A.
I can’t recommend Dr. Ismail enough! After struggling for years with severe eczema and other skin issues, I finally found someone who truly understands and cares. Dr. Ismail took the time to listen to my concerns, created a treatment plan that actually worked and guided me every step of the way. Thanks to her my skin has improved so much and more importantly I feel confident again.
Christine A.
Dr Frank and staff are very kind and very efficient. I appreciate the way they've taken care of my dad. I would highly recommend them! Extra shout out to lovely girl at front desk...above and beyond service with a smile!!

Christine A.
My daughter went in for a wart removal. Super fast and very effective. Thank you
Christine A.
This was my third visit with Dr. Ferrera. He was asking for any concerns and easily explained what seemed to be rather technical. He and his assistant were efficient and helpful. The receptionist was kind and friendly. Will be back for my yearly check if not before.
Christine A.
I just wanted to take a moment to leave a review and say how amazing the staff here is! I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different dermatology offices, both within this company and outside of it, and this office really stood out to me. Keonna at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She made the check-in process easy and was just a pleasure to interact with. Dr. Becker was also wonderful! He was very friendly, personable, and talkative in the best way...not overwhelming or annoying at all. He actually took the time to talk with me and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I had a really positive experience and truly appreciate the staff for making my visit so pleasant. Great team!

I have seen a few different providers over all the years I’ve been coming here and they have all been great!
Christine A.
So I’m a honest reviewer. If they don’t earn it I don’t just give 5 stars. This place deserves 10! So so pleasant. My son sees PA Brittany and she is so wonderful. So kind, she listens very well, she thoroughly answers and explains things wonderfully. She has helped my son with his hormonal and bacterial acne so much. We have nothing negative to say about this place. Also- they are very good with getting you in at your appointment time.
Christine A.
Dr McKenzize is the best! I only got to her now for all of my needs.

El trato espectacular y mi doctora fabulosa(Deive) de echo estoy sorprendida porque es muy joven y muy talentosa agradezco el día que llegue con ella, mi situación era crítica y en menos de un mes logró lo que en casi un año un colega de ella no había podido solucionar.

Christine A.
Dr.Fetzek is exactly what you want in a dermatologist, takes the time to listen and address any and all questions or concerns you may have. Takes the time to get to “know” you and your lifestyle and takes that into consideration when forming a treatment plan. As a patient, I feel confident in her abilities to manage and address my issues in a timely manner.
Christine A.
Great experience.

Dr. Hangee and staff are the best. Knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient at addressing my concerns and taking care of them. I highly recommend them without reservation.

Christine A.
Had a great experience with Dr Jonathan Smith (DO) Moh's surgeon. Ably assisted by surgical assistants Sofya, Vanessa, and Jayden. Smith is board-certifued Moh's and there are less than 3000 of those in the US. I think it's important you get someone with his level of expertise, education, experience and communication skills. Sofya, Vanessa and Jayden helped minimize pain throughout. Dr Smith personally called me to check up on my recovery and pain. My highest recommendation ✅.
Christine A.
The MOH's surgeon, Dr. Marcourt was excellent and very informative.
Christine A.
I had a wonderful experience as a new patient here. I called after having severe flare ups with my chronic skin condition, HS, and was able to be seen by a dermatologist the next day! Everyone from the front desk staff to the assistants were warm and pleasant to speak with. Lina Weber was absolutely amazing. I was very nervous after having to have an abscess drained but she was patient and explained every step of the process to me as well as gave me several recommendations for daily products and long term treatment. I look forward to visiting this office again during my next visit!
Christine A.
Friendly personnel. Fast service.
Christine A.
I was extremely nervous going into this procedure. The whole staff was comforting and kind. They really did their best to put me at ease and make sure I was comfortable. I really appreciated that so much!
Christine A.
Outstanding service and care by Dr. Monica Valentin (Fairfax location). She's genuinely caring, compassionate, professional and attentive to the patient's needs. Dr. Valentin delivers much needed results in a focused and compassionate manner. She stands among the best in a crowded field where knowledge, skills and great bedside manners are essential to the patient's confidence in a positive outcome.
Christine A.
I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sabini. She went out of her way to squeeze me in for an appointment, which I truly appreciated. From the moment I saw her, I felt comfortable and well cared for. She was gentle, knowledgeable, efficient, and made everything feel easy. I don’t normally see her at the Suwanee office, but after this visit I was so impressed. I also ran into a problem with a new credit card, and Sam Coad, the site manager, immediately stepped in and saved the day. Her kindness and helpfulness made an already great visit even better. Dr. Sabini and the Suwanee team made me feel genuinely cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, professional, and positive experience. Five stars!
Christine A.
Fantastic experience from the front desk, nurse assistant Dr. Becker. I highly recommend.

I have been going to Anne Arundel Dermatology for several years for routine care with Lisa Laumann, who is terrific. After a biopsy I was found to have cancer, and had MOHS surgery yesterday with Dr. Dolan at their surgical center in Annapolis. The care from everyone there, from start to finish, was superb despite how busy they were. I highly recommend AAD for anyone with dermatological issues. Thanks!

Excellent initial exam! Young Lee is very pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough! His explanations were clear. This was a terrific exam. I wish their phone system would allow direct access to the Wheaton office - if there's a way, I haven't discovered it. When ever you try to call, there's a national call center and a very long wait on the phone. If I need to contact Young Lee directly, I believe this can be accomplished using the patient portal.

Your Vein Questions, Answered
Spider veins are typically harmless and are considered a cosmetic concern. However, they can occasionally signal underlying venous insufficiency, especially when accompanied by leg discomfort. A dermatologist can evaluate whether further assessment is needed.
Spider veins are small, flat clusters of red, purple, or blue vessels visible just beneath the skin. Varicose veins are larger and often bulge above the skin's surface. Varicose veins may cause physical symptoms like aching or swelling, while spider veins are usually painless.
Most patients describe sclerotherapy as mildly uncomfortable. A very fine needle is used to inject a solution directly into the vein. Some patients experience minor cramping or a temporary burning sensation at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly.
The number of sessions depends on the extent of your vein condition. Many patients see significant improvement after one to three treatments, though individual results vary. Your provider will give you a clearer picture after your initial consultation.
Yes. Small spider veins and broken capillaries on the face, nose, and cheeks are commonly treated with laser therapy or IPL rather than sclerotherapy, which is typically reserved for the legs.
Successfully treated veins do not return. However, new veins can develop over time, particularly if underlying risk factors such as genetics, prolonged standing, or hormonal changes are present. Maintenance treatments can help manage new veins as they appear.
Most vein treatments require little to no downtime. After sclerotherapy, patients are typically advised to walk and avoid strenuous activity for a short period. Compression stockings may be recommended. Laser and light-based treatments have similarly minimal recovery requirements.
Coverage depends on your plan and the nature of the concern. Purely cosmetic treatments such as spider vein removal are generally not covered. However, if varicose veins are causing symptoms like pain or swelling, some insurance plans may provide partial coverage. Our team can help you navigate your options.
