Vein
Specialties is owned and operated by
Robin Fleck M.D., a board–certified
internist and dermatologist. Dr. Fleck
did her undergraduate training in
biochemistry at Pennsylvania State
University from 1971-1974, medical
school training at the University of
Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania from
1975-1979, her residency training in
internal medicine at the University of
Pittsburgh from 1979-1982, and her
residency in dermatology at the
University of Texas Health Science
Center in Dallas from 1983-1986. She
worked as a dermatologist in Dallas,
Texas and at the VA hospital in
Roseburg, Oregon before settling in
Prescott, Arizona in 2003. At that
time, she created Southwest Skin &
Cancer Institute, a practice devoted to
providing the highest caliber of
dermatology care, including diagnosis
and treatment of skin cancer and
melanoma, as well as full cosmetic
services including Botox, fillers, laser
hair, tattoo and varicose vein removal
and laser skin rejuvenation. Dr. Fleck
has the most experience in performing
laser treatments in Northern Arizona.
In
early 2007, Dr. Fleck, after extensive
training, began to treat varicose veins
using an endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)
technique. This procedure, unlike the
former treatment of stripping and
ligation, has reduced morbidity and
downtime and has allowed many patients
to experience relief of daily pain and
get back to enjoying life. After
performing over three-hundred vein
procedures, Dr. Fleck is the most
experienced practitioner of EVLA in
Northern Arizona. Implementation of
this procedure has led to demand for Dr.
Fleck to develop a full-service vein
clinic, Vein Specialties, which opened
in July of 2008. Services also include
a highly-effective European technique
for treatment of spider veins.
Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute and
Vein Specialties strive to use the
ultimate in scientific knowledge
to focus on the treatment of skin
problems and the aging process. As a
scientist with board certification in
two specialties, Dr. Fleck is well
equipped to sort out the industry hype
from the important data that can change
the way you look and feel.
