Hello again, VeinBlog fans. It’s Dr Rosen…I’m a vein specialist conveniently located in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago…and today is the latest installment in Rosen Vein Care’s Q&A Sessions on Varicose and Spider Veins .

Where is my hoverboard?! Where is my garbage-powered flying car?!

If you are like many people out there, you have some chronic issues with varicose veins, spider veins or both.

It’s officially Fall around Chicagoland; this year it looks like it might last longer than 5 minutes before we are inundated with snow.

And if you’ve never been to Orlando in August, it’s like walking through soup… and then sometime in the afternoon the sky erupts and a biblical rainshower ensues for about 15 minutes. That’s why we’re… Read More…
