↑ 1%United Vein & Vascular Centers expands Tampa Bay network with new South Tampa vein clinic. Aug 24, 2026, 10:19 ET TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - United Vein & Vascular Centers (UVVC) has opened a new South Tampa vein clinic at 4401 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 202, Tampa, FL 33609. The clinic begins seeing patients today, Aug. 24, 2026, bringing specialized outpatient vein care to the Westshore Palms neighborhood. The opening gives residents of West Tampa, South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Beach Park, Westshore, Davis Islands, Sunset Park, and surrounding communities another local option for discussing varicose veins, persistent leg symptoms, and other concerns that may be related to vein disease. Appointments are now available at the South Tampa clinic. Patients can request a vein screening online or call (800) 952-5954 to speak with the care team. Closer Care for a Community That Stays in Motion South Tampa rarely stands still. A normal day may include a commute along Dale Mabry Highway or MacDill Avenue, hours spent sitting or standing at work, errands through Westshore, and an evening walk along Bayshore Boulevard. With so much of the day spent moving between the area's residential neighborhoods and business corridors, it can be easy to work around uncomfortable leg symptoms instead of asking why they keep returning. A person may start taking more breaks during the day. A familiar walk may feel longer than it used to. Shoes may feel tighter when the ankles swell, or leg cramps may interrupt a night that should have been restful. Other people feel physically fine but become concerned when veins appear darker, more prominent, twisted, or raised. The new clinic places specialized care along the Kennedy Boulevard corridor, close to many of the places South Tampa and West Tampa residents already pass during their day. Patients can receive a vein screening, recommended treatment, and follow-up care without leaving the part of Tampa where they live and work. Vein Disease Does Not Always Look the Same Varicose veins may be the most recognizable sign of vein disease, but the South Tampa care team evaluates and treats several conditions: * Varicose veins: Enlarged, twisted, or bulging veins that may develop alongside aching, throbbing, swelling, heaviness, or fatigue * Spider veins: Small red, blue, or purple veins that appear close to the surface of the skin and may cause cosmetic concerns, burning, or itching for some patients * Reticular veins: Blue or green veins that are larger than spider veins but smaller than varicose veins and may contribute to visible changes or discomfort * Chronic venous insufficiency: A condition in which weakened or damaged vein valves allow blood to collect in the legs instead of circulating properly * Venous reflux: Backward blood flow in the veins caused by valves that are not functioning as they should Symptoms vary from person to person. Some patients notice visible veins or skin discoloration, while others experience swelling, aching, heaviness, fatigue, burning, itching, cramps, or restlessness. These concerns may become more noticeable after prolonged sitting or standing and can interfere with work, sleep, errands, exercise, and time with family. Patients may initially try elevation, routine changes, or compression stockings. When symptoms persist, a vein screening provides an opportunity to discuss what is happening and determine whether further evaluation may be appropriate. Scheduling a screening does not automatically mean that a patient has vein disease or will need treatment. A Tampa Bay Patient Shares Their Experience The impact of local vein care is often best understood through the people who have already experienced it. Patients treated at UVVC clinics throughout Tampa Bay have shared how their symptoms affected daily life, what finally led them to schedule an appointment, and how they felt about the care they received. "The doctor is very good. After the procedure it was like night and day difference. He saved my quality of life." - Gary R. Dr. Patricia Fletcher Brings Vascular Expertise to Westshore Palms The South Tampa clinic will be led by Dr. Patricia Fletcher, a board-certified vascular surgeon. Patients do not always arrive at a vein clinic knowing the medical name for what they are experiencing. They may simply know that their legs feel unusually heavy by the end of the day, their ankles keep swelling, or a visible vein has become harder to ignore. Dr. Fletcher's approach begins with listening to those concerns and understanding how they affect the patient's comfort, routines, mobility, and overall vascular health. When additional testing is appropriate, advanced imaging can provide a clearer picture of the veins involved and identify areas where blood may not be circulating properly. Dr. Fletcher and the South Tampa care team consider those findings alongside the patient's symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and vein anatomy. That fuller picture guides the next step. For some patients, additional monitoring or conservative care may be appropriate. Others may benefit from a minimally invasive vein procedure. Recommendations are based on the individual patient rather than a single symptom or visible vein. Treatment Is Matched to the Vein Being Addressed There is no single procedure used for every type of vein disease. Larger veins affected by venous reflux may require a different approach than smaller branch veins or bulging varicose veins near the surface of the skin. The South Tampa clinic will offer several minimally invasive vein procedures: * Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): This thermal treatment uses controlled heat to close a vein that is not circulating blood properly. Once the affected vein closes, blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins nearby. * VenaSeal(TM): This nonthermal option uses a medical adhesive to close an affected vein without heat. Eligibility depends on the patient's vein anatomy and clinical evaluation. * Varithena(R): This injectable microfoam treatment may be used for certain varicose veins, including veins that can be difficult to address with other minimally invasive procedures. * Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy: Ultrasound imaging helps guide an injectable solution into an affected vein. The targeted vein closes while blood reroutes through healthier veins. * Microphlebectomy: This procedure removes larger visible varicose veins through tiny openings in the skin and may help address related discomfort and the appearance of bulging veins. A patient may need one procedure, a combination of treatments, further evaluation, or no procedure at all. The recommended plan depends on the veins involved, the patient's symptoms, ultrasound findings, and Dr. Fletcher's evaluation. South Tampa Joins a Growing Regional Network The new clinic joins an established UVVC presence across Tampa Bay. With South Tampa now part of that network, UVVC operates eight clinics throughout the Tampa Bay region and 15 locations across Florida. For patients, that growth is about more than adding another point to a map. It means having more choices about where to receive care, fewer reasons to postpone an appointment because the nearest clinic feels too far away, and a stronger local network for screening, treatment, and follow-up. The Westshore Palms location also fills an important geographic space within that network. It brings UVVC directly into South Tampa while remaining accessible to West Tampa residents and patients traveling through some of the city's busiest corridors. Schedule a Vein Screening in South Tampa If ongoing leg discomfort or visible vein changes are becoming harder to ignore, a vein screening offers a place to start. Patients can discuss what they have noticed, how it is affecting their routine, and whether further evaluation may be appropriate.

St. Petersburg residents may consider a vein screening when varicose veins, changes in vein appearance and discoloration, swelling and edema, leg pain and heaviness, or leg cramps begin affecting comfort or daily activities. These concerns do not confirm vein disease, but they may provide a reason to discuss whether further evaluation is appropriate. Symptoms do not always begin with one obvious change. Someone may first notice swelling after a full day on their feet, cramps that interrupt sleep, or heavy, tired legs while walking along the waterfront or Pinellas Trail. Visible veins and skin changes may appear separately or develop alongside physical discomfort. Over time, people may begin shortening walks, taking more breaks, elevating their legs, or relying on compression stockings. These steps may help some patients manage discomfort, but they do not explain why the symptoms are occurring. The new St. Petersburg clinic gives Pinellas County residents a local place to discuss what they have noticed, how their routines have been affected, and whether additional evaluation may be appropriate. Common vein-related symptoms and changes. These symptoms do not automatically mean that a patient has vein disease or requires treatment. A vein screening can help evaluate the concern and determine whether further testing or care should be considered. Meet Dr. Romina Deldar, vein specialist at UVVC St. Petersburg. Dr. Romina Deldar is a board-certified surgeon and vein specialist with advanced training in general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery. She will bring that experience to patients at UVVC's new St. Petersburg location. Patients may arrive with very different concerns. One person may be worried about bulging varicose veins or skin discoloration, while another may be dealing with swelling, heaviness, cramps, or discomfort that has begun limiting everyday activities. Dr. Deldar considers those visible and physical changes together with the patient's medical history and vascular health. When further testing is appropriate, ultrasound findings can provide additional information about the veins involved. Dr. Deldar uses the complete evaluation to determine whether treatment should be considered, and which approach may best fit the individual patient. Minimally invasive vein treatments available in St. Petersburg. Patients at the St. Petersburg clinic will have access to several minimally invasive vein procedures: * Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): Uses controlled heat to close veins that are not circulating blood properly, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthier veins nearby. * VenaSeal(TM): Uses a medical adhesive to close affected veins without heat, providing a non-thermal treatment option for qualifying patients. * Varithena(R): An injectable microfoam treatment used for certain varicose veins, including veins that may be difficult to treat with other minimally invasive procedures. * Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy: Uses ultrasound imaging to precisely guide an injectable solution into affected veins, causing them to close and allowing blood to reroute through healthier veins. * Microphlebectomy: Removes larger surface varicose veins through tiny incisions, helping relieve symptoms while improving the appearance of bulging veins. Not every patient requires the same procedure. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on the veins involved, the patient's symptoms, ultrasound findings, and the physician's evaluation. St. Petersburg joins UVVC's growing Florida network. With St. Petersburg joining the UVVC network, the organization now operates eight clinics throughout the Tampa Bay region and 15 locations across Florida.

Daily life in South Tampa can involve long commutes, hours spent sitting or standing at work, and active time walking along Bayshore Boulevard or through the area's shopping and business districts. When leg pain and heaviness, swelling, or leg cramps begin making those routines uncomfortable, it can be easy to attribute the symptoms to a busy schedule, aging, or simply being on one's feet. Visible changes may also be overlooked. Varicose veins, changes in vein appearance and discoloration around the lower legs or ankles may be more than cosmetic concerns, particularly when they develop alongside aching, swelling, heaviness, or fatigue. Some people attempt to manage their symptoms with elevation, activity changes, or compression stockings before seeking specialized care. While compression stockings may be included in a conservative care plan for some patients, symptoms that continue or worsen may warrant a vein screening to determine whether an underlying vein condition could be contributing. The new South Tampa clinic gives residents a nearby place to discuss these concerns and learn whether additional evaluation may be appropriate. Common vein-related symptoms and changes.
