CVR’s newest location is slated to begin seeing patients on March 8, 2016 and will be located at 701 Cottage Grove Road, Suite E110, Bloomfield, CT, 06002.
CVR names Dr. Fernando F. Illescas as practicing physician at this new location.
“The more I learned about venous disease and how the disease could be successfully treated,” Dr. Illescas begins, “the more excited I became. As a result of the growth of my professional interest in this field, I have chosen to devote my practice to full-time treatment of venous insufficiency.”

ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
Venous insufficiency, the cause of varicose veins and spider veins, indiscriminately affects between 30 – 40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this all-to-common and often under-diagnosed disorder. Treatment options range from simple lifestyle changes like exercising or taking frequent breaks from prolonged sitting or standing to an array of minimally-invasive, outpatient procedures that close problem veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier ones.
