“Asclera is indicated for the treatment of small types of varicose veins when the aim of treatment is to improve appearance,” said Dr. Norman Stockbridge of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

According to FDA.gov, approval for Asclera is indicated for:

  • Spider veins (tiny varicose veins less than 1 millimeter in diameter)
  • Reticular veins (those that are 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter)

The drug is also said to include an anesthetic for more comfortable vein treatment.

We therefore set out to find a suitable space. After much searching we found our home just two blocks north of our current location on 8680 Monroe Court.

This new location comes with ample parking and the privacy and comforts our patients’ desire. In addition to gaining more space for our practice, we built a state of the art surgical center named Surgical Arts of The Inland Empire. This Surgical Center is equipped with the latest technology for endoscopic surgery as well as traditional and laser assisted surgery.

In addition, being that Dr. Haiavy is a fellowship director and is passionate about teaching, the facility is built with latest video and computer technology to be able to host other surgeons for live surgery courses.

With this expansion and move we will be able to associate with other surgeons that can serve our patients as well. We will be working with some very talented surgeons:

  • Cosmetic Podiatrist
  • Vascular surgeon for vein therapy and sclerotherapy
  • Bariatric surgeon for the Lap Band procedures and weight loss surgery
  • Cosmetic Gynecologist for laser vaginal labioplasty and other procedures

You are invited to visit our new facility as we feel proud of our new home and hope to continue to serve you in the future.  Please look for an upcoming open house in the near future.
