About

Dr. Edward Lathan M.D., F.A.A.E.M, is a board-certified physician and vein doctor practicing in Purchase, NY. A fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Lathan specializes in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, or CVI, and other venous disorders such as cosmetic spider veins. He earned his medical degree with honors from The State University of New York at Downstate Medical School in Brooklyn, NY. His residency training was completed at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, then a partner of Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons. A former Department Chairman with over 20 years of clinical experience, he has performed thousands of vascular procedures in the care of his patients.

As a vein specialist in New York, he specializes in the treatment of painful leg conditions, leg swelling, varicose veins, venous stasis ulcers and leg aesthetics.

“It's important to recognize the early signs of vein disease and seek treatment as soon as possible. Bulging veins in your legs, itching, cramping, changes in leg color or simply swelling in your ankles after a long day's work, all may be a sign of a more serious condition. We need to love our bodies through care and attention. In my practice, we will help you do just that because feeling good, looking good, and unrestricted movement are essential to happy, healthy, and productive lives.”

  • How long is a varicose vein ablation?

    Hi! My name is Nara, I’m a member of Dr. Lathan’s team of vein specialists. Our treatments, being minimally-invasive, typically take around 15-30 minutes to complete. This depends on the patient and severity of the varicosities being treated, but all treatments are performed in our clinics in a timely manner and patients can walk out of the clinic after their treatment, with no downtime. Speaking with a vein doctor directly will give you a better and more specific time estimate. To book a free consultation with a vein doctor to discuss your treatment in detail, please visit our website at www.metroveincenters.com or call us directly at 866-831-9522. We’re happy to help!

  • Is radiofrequency ablation painful for varicose veins?

    Hello! My name is Nara, I'm a member of Dr. Lathan’s vein specialist team. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is performed with the assistance of localized numbing, so at most you’ll feel some slight discomfort during the procedure. You should not experience pain. After your 15-minute treatment is finished, you’ll be able to walk out of our clinic and drive yourself home, with little downtime or "recovery time." Most patients are back to normal activity in just 24 hours.Temporary side-effects may include slight bruising, or tenderness but this resolves in a few days and can be aided by over the counter pain relievers.
