Welcome to Oakville Vascular Care
Oakville Vascular, Southern Ontario's leading state-of-the-art vein clinic, offers consultation, imaging,
diagnostics, and advanced vein treatment. Our team of academic vascular surgeons also offer consultation, diagnosis and treatment options for arterial vascular conditions.
Assessment and Advice: Our goal is to provide an accurate diagnosis and advise appropriate treatment to those individuals with arterial and venous disease. In most cases this will involve ensuring that one is living a healthy lifestyle and taking medications if necessary to help prevent future problems.
Imaging: In many cases diagnosis and follow-up of vascular disorders may require “non-invasive” vascular imaging.

Office-Based Treatments: Some of our patients may benefit or seek treatments that we can offer in our community office.
Hospital Co-ordination: A small number of our patients may require some tests or treatment within a hospital setting. We will provide care as necessary and co-ordinate communication between the hospital and our office.
Our current focus is on minimally invasive treatments for large (bulging) varicose veins. All patients with varicose veins should adhere to lifestyle measures and wear support/compression stockings. For those who seek additional treatment, our in-office treatments include:
-
Lifestyle Measures (Conservative Treatment) - regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, periodic rest and elevation of the legs, and wearing graduated compression stockings. Learn more . . .
-
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) - procedure is performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic, using laser energy to permanently collapse and seal shut damaged saphenous veins. Learn more . . .
-
Conventional Sclerotherapy - procedure is performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic, for the treatment of spider veins or small superficial varicose veins. Learn more . . .
-
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (Foam Sclerotherapy) - treatment of damaged branch veins, especially those that lie below the surface and cannot be directly seen. Learn more . . .
