MEET DR. KHITIN, The Vein Treatment Doctor

Lev M. Khitin, M.D., F.A.C.S. didn’t set out to become a vein specialist. He trained as a cardiovascular surgeon, board certified in general and cardio-thoracic surgery, and spent years operating on hearts and aortas before deciding that circulatory disease deserved a different kind of care: precise, in-office, and delivered without putting a patient through general anesthesia and a week of recovery. That decision led him to found New York Vein Treatment Center, now a premier facility built around the complex evaluation and comprehensive treatment of circulatory disorders of the lower extremities.

Dr. Khitin is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Phlebology, and a member of the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the American College of Cardiology, the American Medical Association, and numerous other national and international societies. His work in circulation and varicose vein treatment has earned him recognition worldwide, but what sets him apart isn’t the credentials. It’s the range: few surgeons move as comfortably between the most advanced technologies in vascular medicine and the more traditional, time-tested methods, choosing whichever actually serves the patient in front of them.
