Overview

Luis Navarro, M.D., FACS, FACPh, is the Founder and Medical Director of The Vein Treatment Center in New York City. Dr. Navarro is a General Surgeon, originally Board Certified in General Surgery; he received certification from the American Board Phlebology in 2009 when the treatment of veins officially became an AMA recognized specialty. Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, Dr. Navarro graduated cum laude from the University of Barcelona Medical School. He completed his General Surgery residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where he was Chief Surgical Resident and a Senior Clinical Instructor of Surgery. Dr. Navarro’s interest in phlebology flourished while practicing general surgery when he began to investigate and develop new approaches to treating varicose and spider veins. He became one of the first members of the American College of Phlebology, a society dedicated to the research and treatment of venous disorders. Dr. Navarro is a Diplomat of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the International Union of Phlebology, Canadian Society of Phlebology, American Society of Laser Medicine, and numerous other venous-related societies. Nowadays, he is also affiliated with Beth Israel Medical Center and Lenox Hill Hospital. As the field of Phlebology was making headway and new discoveries were in the pipeline, Dr. Navarro penned in 1988 a book, “No More Varicose Veins” published by Bantam Books for the public to understand how the field was transitioning from traditional surgery to non-invasive treatments. Dr. Navarro later went on to popularize a state-of-the-art treatment method that combined minimally invasive and noninvasive procedures, known as Combined Therapies™. In the 1990s, when the medical field began moving in the direction of more minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Navarro began to investigate laser therapies for treating varicose veins. He invented and patented Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT), a minimally invasive treatment.
