Muskegon, Michigan

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to serve patients at our Muskegon vein clinic. The physicians and staff at CVR Muskegon have decades of collective experience treating symptoms of vein diseases such as varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other vein conditions related to chronic venous insufficiency (vein disease).

The board-certified physicians at Center for Vein Restoration are world-renowned vein specialists, authors, lecturers, and trainers on the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating vein disease. Commitment to patient care goes beyond physician credentials, however. Our entire team works together to provide our patients with a level of comfort and understanding.

Our Vein Clinic in Muskegon, Michigan

CVR’s Muskegon, Michigan, vein center is in the county seat of Muskegon County. With Lake Michigan to the west and Muskegon Lake to the north, Muskegon is a popular vacation destination because of its expansive freshwater beaches, fishing, sailing, pleasure boating, and cruise ship port. Fun fact: more than 20 percent of Muskegon is water!

Pere Marquette Park is a 27.5-acre public space offering 2.5 miles of wide-open pristine beach on Lake Michigan. For history buffs, the USS LST 393 Veterans Museum and USS Silversides Submarine Museum display nautical artifacts and honors those who served America bravely from the sea.

Meet Dr. Kelsey

Laura Kelsey, MD, is a vein specialist with vast experience in using minimally invasive procedures to help patients overcome symptoms of venous disease, including leg pain, swelling, cramping, varicose veins, restless legs, ulcers, and more. Having spent most of her life in Michigan, she is a proud, active member of the Grand Rapids community. She is the lead physician in CVR’s Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Muskegon, Michigan, vein clinic locations.

Dr. Kelsey speaks English and Spanish.

Dr. Kelsey earned her medical degree at Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine and is board certified in General Surgery. She is a member of the American College of Physicians, American Vein & Lymphatic Society, American Venous Forum, American Medical Association, Michigan State Medical Society, and Kent County Medical Society.

“Although I enjoy all facets of my practice, my special interest outside the treatment of superficial venous disease continues to be the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (vein conditions where a blood clot forms in a vein). To that end, I have given many presentations helping to educate physicians, having helped establish protocols for rehabilitation hospitals and outpatient surgical centers to assess VTE risk, use appropriate prophylaxis, and treat deep vein thrombosis.” – Dr. Laura Kelsey

Services at Center for Vein Restoration, Muskegon

Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer a wide range of innovative treatment options for leg pain, swelling, cramping, itching, varicose veins, spider veins, restless leg syndrome, ulcers, and other symptoms of vascular disease.

Symptoms of vein problems

When the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart, it can be a sign of venous disease.

The result can be:

• Leg pain

• Itching

• Swelling

• Cramping

• Varicose veins

• Spider veins

• Feelings of heaviness

• Skin discoloration

• Ulcers

These symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive and will likely worsen without treatment.

Vein treatment options

Vein care providers at vein treatment clinics use the most advanced minimally invasive treatments available today. CVR’s modern outpatient treatment plans are far superior to the older vein-stripping methods used in the past.

Treatments include VenaSeal, a proprietary medical adhesive that safely closes off varicose veins, and ClariVein, a two-in-one approach that uses an ablation device to inject a sclerosing agent that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip, which destroys the diseased vein.

At Center for Vein Restoration, we offer a wide variety of other treatment options, including:

• Sclerotherapy

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Endovenous laser ablation

• Ambulatory phlebectomy

Vein treatments take approximately an hour or less to complete, and patients can return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are required because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our outpatient vein treatments require only local anesthetics. Recovery and symptom relief are fast, and there is little to no scarring.
