- Beachwood Location Represents 34th Center
Overall and 2nd in Ohio -
IntegraMed America, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMD), the nation’s leading provider
of specialty healthcare services in emerging, technology-focused
segments, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vein Clinics
of America (VCA), has opened its second office in Ohio, representing its
34th location in the U.S. Located in Beachwood at 2000 Auburn Drive, the
new location offers the latest in vein disease diagnosis and treatment.
Sonja Stiller, M.D., practicing physician at VCA’s Beachwood office,
stated, "Myself and the rest of the staff at Beachwood are excited to be
a part of the VCA team and look forward to offering patients in the
greater Cleveland area the latest in minimally invasive techniques for
diagnosing and treating their chronic vein problems. All procedures are
performed in our state-of-the-art facility, requiring no hospitalization
or surgery, allowing patients to be back on their feet the same day.”
Vein disease is a potentially serious medical condition, which if
ignored, may result in symptoms such as pain, fatigue, itching, burning
and swelling. Patients may also experience throbbing and restlessness,
feeling the need to constantly keep their legs moving. Left untreated by
medical professionals, vein disease can worsen to become a major health
issue.
VCA has more than 25 years of experience in the vein care field,
specializing in all aspects of vein disease. VCA offers a comprehensive
and non-surgical treatment approach using sclerotherapy injection
treatment in conjunction with Endovenous Laser Treatment (ELT). VCA's
use of sclerotherapy in combination with ELT allows physicians to treat
the smallest spider veins to the largest varicose veins, including leg
ulcers. All procedures are performed in the VCA office with no surgery
or post hospitalization required.
Ted King, M.D., national medical director of VCA, commented, “We are
pleased to bring our comprehensive suite of vein care treatments to
patients in the greater Cleveland area. Based on our market and
demographic research, the greater Cleveland area has a substantial
population of prospective patients that are currently underserved in
their vein care needs. Beachwood is our second new facility opening in
Ohio in the past three months, putting us on track to open five to six
new VCA locations across the U.S. during 2009.
