Canada Vein Clinics has multiple locations in eastern Canada, including two in Toronto. It was founded by Dr. Alexander Matz, a general surgeon with over 15 years of experience in treating vein disorders. As a vascular doctor, he is a pioneer in minimally-invasive procedures; in 2006, he introduced endovenous laser ablation therapy (EVLT) to Atlantic Canada.
Dr. Matz has earned Fellowships from the American College of Surgeons and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is also a member of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons, the International Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, and the American College of Phlebology.
What Kinds of Services Does Canada Vein Clinics Provide?
Canada Vein Clinics offers an array of minimally-invasive procedures for treating spider veins and varicose veins. Such procedures include the following:
• Sclerotherapy
• ClariVein
• Mini-phlebectomy
• VenaSeal
• Endovenous Laser Ablation Therapy
What is EVLT?
EVLT is a minimally-invasive procedure that is typically used to treat varicose veins. It is an outpatient procedure, and the vascular doctor utilizes a special laser fiber. After maneuvering the fiber, a laser is used to block blood flow to the varicose veins. The body will eventually absorb the varicose veins and reroute the blood through healthy veins.
What is ClariVein?
ClariVein is a minimally-invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It is similar to EVLT, but it does not use a heat source like lasers to treat the vein. ClariVein is sometimes described as a non-thermal procedure.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is yet another minimally-invasive procedure that is offered by our vascular doctor. It is used to treat spider veins and the smaller varicose veins. It is an outpatient procedure that involves injecting a special solution into the defective vein. The solution will irritate the inner walls of the diseased vein and cause it to shrink. The body will reroute the blood through nearby healthy veins and absorb the non-functional vein.

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.
