Expert Vein Care on Long Island — Right in Commack
For patients across Suffolk County, traveling into Manhattan for vein treatment has long felt like an unnecessary burden. Schulman Vein and Laser Center's Commack office changes that equation. Located at 175 Commack Road, our Long Island practice brings the same internationally recognized expertise — and the same FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatments — that our Manhattan and Manhasset patients have relied on for decades.
Dr. Martin Schulman and Dr. Lee G. Schulman have combined more than 55 years of specialized phlebology experience. Their approach is straightforward: every patient receives a thorough evaluation, a clear explanation of their condition, and a treatment plan calibrated to their specific anatomy, symptoms, and lifestyle. No unnecessary procedures. No pressure. Just expert care that gets results.
Whether you are dealing with bulging varicose veins, cosmetically bothersome spider veins, or the chronic aching and heaviness of venous insufficiency, our Commack team is equipped to help.
Venous disease affects patients of every age and activity level — and most cases are both treatable and at least partially covered by insurance.
Who Seeks Vein Treatment at Our Commack Office?
Venous disease is far more common than most people realize. Approximately 40 million Americans have varicose veins, and a significant portion of those cases involve underlying venous insufficiency — a condition in which the one-way valves inside leg veins fail to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the lower extremities.
Our Commack patients come from across western and central Suffolk County: Commack itself, Huntington, Smithtown, Hauppauge, Deer Park, Brentwood, Dix Hills, and beyond. They range in age, background, and vein condition severity — but they tend to share a common experience: they have been living with uncomfortable or unsightly veins longer than they needed to, often because they did not know how accessible treatment had become.
- Visible varicose veins — rope-like, bulging veins on the thighs or calves that may be painful or tender to the touch
- Spider veins — fine red, blue, or purple web-like clusters near the surface of the skin, commonly on the legs and ankles
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — persistent leg heaviness, aching, swelling, and fatigue that worsens after standing
- Skin changes — brownish discoloration, leathery texture, or early signs of venous ulceration near the ankles
- Restless leg symptoms — nighttime discomfort and cramping associated with underlying venous disease
All procedures at our Commack office are performed in-office with local anesthesia — no hospital stay, no general anesthesia, same-day recovery.
Treatments Available at Our Commack Location
Schulman Vein Center's Commack office offers the full range of minimally invasive vein treatments that have replaced surgical vein stripping as the standard of care. All procedures are performed in-office under local anesthesia, and most patients return to their normal daily activities the same day or the day after.
- Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) — The gold standard for treating larger varicose veins caused by saphenous vein insufficiency. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance, delivering targeted energy that causes the vein to close permanently. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, and patients walk out of the office the same day.
- Sclerotherapy — A precisely injected solution causes the targeted vein to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body over several weeks. Sclerotherapy is used for both spider veins and smaller varicose veins. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
- Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy — For veins that cannot be seen at the surface, we use duplex ultrasound to guide injections with pinpoint accuracy. This technique is particularly effective for perforator veins and reticular veins feeding visible clusters.
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy — Larger surface varicose veins that do not respond to laser treatment may be removed through tiny, puncture-size incisions using a micro-hook technique. No stitches are required, and scarring is minimal.
- Compression Therapy — Medical-grade compression stockings are often recommended as a first-line management tool and as part of post-procedure recovery. Our staff can help patients select the appropriate compression class for their condition.
Symptomatic varicose veins treated with EVLT or sclerotherapy are commonly covered by insurance when medical necessity is documented — our team handles the verification for you.
Does Insurance Cover Vein Treatment in Commack?
One of the most common concerns we hear from Long Island patients is about cost. The good news: most medically necessary vein treatments are covered by health insurance — including Medicare and the majority of commercial plans accepted at our Commack office.
The key distinction is medical necessity versus cosmetic treatment. Spider vein removal that is purely cosmetic is typically not covered. However, varicose veins that cause documented symptoms — pain, swelling, heaviness, skin changes, or venous ulcers — generally meet medical necessity criteria and qualify for coverage. EVLT and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy for symptomatic venous insufficiency are routinely covered when properly documented.
Our team at the Commack office handles insurance verification and prior authorization on your behalf. We will review your specific plan, explain what is covered, and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs before you commit to treatment. We accept most major insurance plans as well as Medicare.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial visit to our Commack office begins with a comprehensive vein evaluation. One of our physicians will take a detailed medical history, ask about your symptoms, and perform a physical examination of your legs. In most cases, we will also perform a duplex ultrasound study — a painless, non-invasive imaging test that maps the venous anatomy of your legs and identifies any underlying reflux or insufficiency that may not be visible on the surface.
Based on the evaluation findings, your physician will explain exactly what is happening in your venous system, which veins are affected, and what treatment options are appropriate. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your goals — whether your primary concern is symptom relief, cosmetic improvement, or both.
There is no pressure to proceed with treatment at your first visit. Our goal is to ensure you have the information you need to make a confident, informed decision.
Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing to your first appointment — we will need to examine your legs above the knee. Leave compression stockings at home the day of your evaluation so we can get an accurate baseline assessment.
Schulman Vein Center brings Manhattan-level vein expertise to Commack — with the added convenience of a Long Island location and same-day recovery procedures.
