The 1st Chicago Doctor to do Laser Vein Procedures

Dr. Golan has been practicing vascular surgery for 26 years. It is his profession and passion – and his life’s work. When Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) received FDA approval in 2002, Dr. Golan was the first vascular surgeon in the Chicago area to learn the procedure and has since performed over 2500 laser vein procedures. Today, he is considered one of the foremost experts in EVLT and varicose vein treatment. Dr. Golan is a sought-after consultant on varicose vein conditions and has trained over 300 physicians throughout the country on the procedure. He has also supervised or performed more than 10,000 sclerotherapy procedures for the removal of spider veins – as well as other vein procedures such as microphlebectomy and ligation & stripping.

An Experienced Vascular Surgeon also described as a “Vascular Artist”

According to the Society for Vascular Surgery “…vascular surgeons are the only medical discipline trained to care for patients using every vascular treatment available and are uniquely qualified to make the most accurate diagnosis and prescribe the best treatment for the best outcome.”
A long time, vascular surgeon, Dr. Golan has been described as a “vascular artist” who not only successfully heals vein disease but also transforms unsightly legs into things of beauty – for both females and males.
