The Hoboken Girl Team 
If visible veins or that heavy, achy feeling in your legs have ever raised questions, it’s a pretty common experience. The Vein Institute of New Jersey, part of The Cardiovascular Care Group, has been serving patients since 1963. Jen, the Founder of The Local Girl, stopped in for a treatment and learned quite a bit about the practice. Read on to learn more about the Vein Institute of New Jersey and how this Hoboken practice is helping locals with vein care (and about our visit – which, spoiler: was amazing).
A Different Kind of Vascular Care
The staff’s mindset is a big part of what sets this practice apart. Instead of pushing procedures, the focus is on understanding what is actually causing symptoms. While varicose veins can lead to swelling, aching, and heaviness, they are typically not dangerous. The goal is to provide clarity first, so patients leave with real answers rather than jumping straight into treatment.
The practice is fully dedicated to vascular care, which means everything is centered around this specialty. Care ranges from cosmetic concerns like spider veins to more complex conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, blood clots, peripheral artery disease, and aortic aneurysms. Because of that focus, patients benefit from a more informed and personalized approach.
The Process
Another thing that makes the experience feel easier is how streamlined it is. All diagnostic testing is done on site in an accredited vascular lab, so there is no need to travel between multiple offices. During the initial visit, the team determines whether a concern is cosmetic or medical and walks through what the next steps might look like, if any are needed.
At the Hoboken location, the team includes board-certified vascular surgeons Dr. Andrew Cha and Dr. Clifford Sales, along with nurse practitioner Elizabeth Coll and an experienced clinical staff. Patients are guided by the same group throughout their care, which helps create a more consistent and comfortable experience.
For anyone who has been putting off getting something checked out, the process is straightforward. It typically starts with a consultation and, if appropriate, a venous ultrasound to get a clearer picture. Treatments like sclerotherapy for spider veins are performed in the office and are relatively quick. There are also free consultations for cosmetic concerns, along with occasional promotions for first-time treatments.
Comprehensive Care
The team specializes in complete vascular care, including:
- Spider veins (cosmetic treatments)
- Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
- Blood clots and other vascular conditions, such as carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease.
It’s also not just cosmetic. They look at bigger-picture vascular health too, which is something a lot of people don’t think about until symptoms start showing up.
There is also a vascular screening program available for those looking for a more comprehensive check of overall vascular health, which can help detect underlying issues early.

At the end of the day, what really makes The Vein Institute of New Jersey stand out is the approach. If you do decide to come in, the focus will be on honest guidance, clear answers, and treatment only when it is truly necessary.
FYI, we all love it when a trusted local practice gets recognized. That’s why it’s important to note that The Vein Institute of New Jersey was recently named the #1 Vascular Surgery Practice in New Jersey for 2026 by Castle Connolly. To learn more and schedule an appointment, click here.
