The City of Hoboken is filled with an array of healthcare providers, each specializing in different disciplines to help keep our community in tip-top shape. Vein Institute of New Jersey, an affiliate of The Cardiovascular Care Group, recently opened its new Hoboken office located at 129 Washington Street, 4th Floor in Hoboken. The local practice consists of board-certified vascular surgeons, physician assistants, + advanced nurse practitioners and focuses on comprehensive medical care for vein diseases such as chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, spider veins, and deep vein thrombosis — from serious medical procedures to aesthetics when it comes to veins. The practice also has an IAC-accredited vascular lab staffed with licensed vascular technologists whose entire focus is to diagnose problems of the arterial and venous systems.

Comprehensive Vein Treatment
Vein Institute of New Jersey specializes in treating a range of vein conditions, from cosmetic concerns such as spider veins to more serious medical conditions like Chronic Venous Insufficiency, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis — all generally covered by insurance. The IAC-accredited vascular lab is staffed by fully licensed vascular technologists who focus solely on diagnosing issues related to the arterial and venous systems, providing the highest standard of care to all.
Sclerotherapy is one of the most popular treatments at Vein Institute of New Jersey. This minimally invasive procedure treats varicose and spider veins through an FDA-approved sclerosant injected into the vein. This painless procedure only takes 15 to 30 minutes, and patients can return immediately to their normal activities.
Our founder, Jennifer Tripucka recently stopped by for a free consultation with the Hoboken team.
“From the moment I walked into the Vein Institute of New Jersey, I felt welcome and at ease. Both the doctor and NP shared what the consult process was like, and I even got a little goodie bag (complete with shorts for my consult). It was so comforting, as someone with a Congenital Heart Defect, to ask questions around my veins for both medical and aesthetics and receive in-real-time answers. The tech assessed my legs, for both medical and cosmetic aspects, and all was in the clear — besides discovering one vein that could aesthetically be reduced with Sclerotherapy. It’s a quick injection into the vein, and poof — gone! No downtime.
Was a great experience overall, and it’s so nice to know you can go into the office for any clot concerns, and be seen/not have to go to the ER for a similar concern. So glad VI is in Hoboken now!”
Meet the Hoboken Team
The practice is led by Managing Director, Dr. Clifford Sales alongside the Hoboken team, which is made up of vein care specialists including Dr. Andrew Cha and NP Elizabeth Coll.
Dr. Andrew Cha has been a board-certified vascular surgeon with The Cardiovascular Care Group since 2015, specializing in limb preservation, critical limb ischemia, and venous disease. He is fluent in English, Spanish, and Korean.
Nurse Practitioner Elizabeth Coll joined the group in 2024 as a board-certified acute care nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in vascular disease, lymphedema management, and wound care. She is highly skilled in treating varicose veins and performing advanced procedures such as endovenous laser and radiofrequency ablation.
With over 60 years in the business, Vein Institute of New Jersey is one of the largest and most experienced vascular surgery groups in the tri-state area.
“We are a family taking care of families,” the Vein Institute team shared with The Hoboken Girl. “Helping patients with vascular disease get better or those with cosmetic concerns achieve the results they are looking for,” is the driving force behind the practice’s integrity and passion.

Ken Pilates: Small Group + 1-on-1 Pilates Classes in Hoboken
This article is sponsored by Ken Pilates.
It’s that time of year again: You've set your resolutions, sworn off cookies, and promised yourself that this year, you’re going to prioritize wellness. A lot of times, these promises last a month or so. But if you’re serious about holding yourself accountable this year, Ken Pilates is a great place to start. With two locations in Hoboken — 706 Washington Street for group classes and 706 Grand Street for private sessions — this locally-owned, springboard-focused fitness studio is a workout we can’t get enough of. Plus, the team is hooking up Hoboken Girl readers with special deals and discounts. Keep reading to learn more about Ken Pilates, a springboard-based workout studio in Hoboken.
Why Choose Ken Pilates?
Ken Pilates is not a typical fitness studio. This locally-owned gem is on a mission to revolutionize the fitness industry and add a little bit of joy to your wellness routine. There are two Hoboken locations: one for group classes at 706 Washington Street and the other for private sessions at 706 Grand Street.
The studio is centered around the SpringSculpt ™ Method, a pilates-based, flow-style workout developed by a team of dance artists, athletes, yogis, and pilates practitioners that blends multidirectional movements with pilates. The result is a flow-based, challenging, and safe workout that adapts to every fitness level. It’s not just a pilates class — it’s a unique movement experience.
Sculpt Your Body, Your Way
Ken Pilates is all about community, inclusivity, and of course, results.
Group classes at 706 Washington Street are a vibrant, energized environment that truly feels like a community. While the Spring Sculpt™ Method classes are probably the most popular (and we love ‘em), the Zen Sculpt, Hot Spring, and Barre classes are just as challenging (and rewarding). There is something for everyone, no matter where they are on your fitness journey. Check out the full group schedule here.
If you prefer a solo workout, Ken’s location at 706 Grand Street is perfect for anyone looking for a tailored approach. The private one-on-one sessions tackle a host of personal fitness goals, from pre- and post-natal to strength training, injury recovery, and rehabilitation. Athletes of all backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to try.
Ken Pilates is not a one-size-fits-all studio, so you’ll definitely get a dynamic and personalized experience in every class.
A Studio That Inspires, Uplifts, and Feels Like Home
Ken Pilates was founded by Hoboken-local Kennyth Montes de Oca, a dancer, Pilates instructor, and holistic well-being advocate. At the height of the pandemic, Ken began teaching Pilates classes from home. His classes helped locals rediscover the joy of movement one of the most difficult times.
“What started as a labor of love has grown into a vibrant community rooted in connection, transformation, and self-discovery,” Ken shared with The Hoboken Girl.
The studio was carefully and intentionally designed to reflect his love of travel to colorful, energetic places. Collaborating with local artists, he brought that vision to life, creating a studio infused with warmth, vibrancy, and the essence of spring and summer (an ode to his own experience with seasonal depression). The studio connects the mind and body, helping clients to find joy, balance, and self-discovery through movement.
“Seeing clients not only build strength and confidence but also discover the joy of movement is incredibly rewarding,” Ken shared. “We love what we do and pour that passion into every class, session, and interaction.” The sense of community that the studio has created in Hoboken is strong and those who are part of it feel connected as they grow together.
Don’t forget, first-time clients can get 3 classes for $30 or 50% off their first private session.
