PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to announce our partnership with notable Philadelphia area vein specialist Mehul Shah, MD, FSVM. Dr. Shah's practice in King of Prussia will be the third CVR location in Pennsylvania alongside Dr. Cornwell's Horsham and Bensalem practices. Dr. Mehul Shah comes to CVR after 28 years in private practice as medical director of the Vascular Medicine Center. He is well-known for his pleasant and informative bedside manner and has performed thousands of venous ablations over the course of his career. His practice will reopen as a CVR location starting January 7.

"Seeing patients look as good as they feel and return to normal daily life with confidence is personally and professionally rewarding to me."
Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, CEO; Dr. Khanh Q. Nguyen, Corporate Medical Officer; Ken Abod, CFO; and Neil Collier, Chief Operating Officer, at CVR are all pleased to welcome Dr. Shah to the company. "Dr. Shah's dedication to the successful treatment of his patients is emblematic of the commitment we all as a company strive for," said Dr. Lakhanpal.

ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and 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 common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.
