Canada Vein Clinics boasts multiple locations in Ontario, including an office in Ottawa. There is also a new office in Mississauga. Canada Vein Clinics was founded by Dr. Alexander Matz, one of Canada’s leading authorities on venous insufficiency. He is a member of professional organizations including the Canadian Association of General Surgeons, the American College of Phlebology, and the International Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. Whether you are dealing with problematic varicose veins or you simply want to make sure your venous system is healthy, the team at our state-of-the-art vein clinic can help you!
What Services Does Canada Vein Clinics Provide?
Canada Vein Clinics offers a variety of treatments for spider and varicose veins. Unlike many plastic surgeons who treat spider and varicose veins as simply cosmetic problems, Dr. Matz and his staff treat both conditions as signs of an underlying and potentially serious problem called venous insufficiency.
Canada Vein Clinics provides treatments that include the following:
• Sclerotherapy
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
• Mini-phlebectomy
• VenaSeal
• ClariVein treatment
All of the above procedures are far less invasive than vein stripping or surgically removing varicose veins. This is just one of the reasons why so many people in Ottawa visit our vein clinic for venous treatment.
What is Venous Insufficiency?
Venous insufficiency is a common medical condition that affects 15 to 25 percent of all adults, and it affects at least half of the adults over 50. It is particularly common in older women.
Under normal conditions, the veins transport blood back to the heart to pick up oxygen and distribute it to the rest of the body. Veins have valves that keep the blood flowing in the correct direction. In a person with venous insufficiency, those valves don’t work properly. Consequently, the blood accumulates within the vein. In the vast majority of cases, venous insufficiency develops in the lower legs because the veins have to work against gravity to send the blood back to the heart.
Spider veins and varicose veins are both symptoms of venous insufficiency. Other symptoms of venous insufficiency can include the following:
• Swelling in the legs
• Heaviness in the legs
• Trouble walking
• Discoloration
• Cramps
• A burning sensation
• Tingling
• Restless legs

Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
