Leading the Fight Against Vascular Disease in Silicon Valley

When Experience Leads—Others Imitate

In Silicon Valley, people expect excellence—not slogans. At South Bay Vascular Center & Vein Institute, we’ve set that standard for almost three decades. While others chase profits, we pursue outcomes.  Our care model is simple and sacred:

One Patient. One Doctor. One Nurse.

Every patient is personally evaluated by a board-certified vascular surgeon, not an NP, PA, or a marketing “vein specialist.” At South Bay Vascular, doctors—not financial managers—make the final call on your care.

Because for us, medicine isn’t a business strategy. It’s a calling.


The Vein Industry’s Dirty Secret

Scroll through social media and you’ll see it: endless ads from national “vein centers” promising Harvard-trained vein doctors, celebrity legs, and quick, painless fixes.
But look closer—many of these “experts” are anesthesiologists, pain doctors, or radiologists, not vascular surgeons. They’ve traded the operating room for an Instagram feed and call it innovation.

Treating varicose veins doesn’t make you a vascular surgeon—any more than test-driving a car makes you an engineer. A vascular surgeon is trained to understand the entire circulatory system—arteries, veins, and microvessels—across every organ of the body. They don’t just remove veins for cosmetics; they save legs, prevent strokes, and restore life to limbs most others would amputate.


What Makes South Bay Vascular Different

We treat the full spectrum of vascular disease—arterial blockages, aneurysms, carotid disease, non-healing wounds, and complex venous disorders.

Our surgeons trained at Columbia, UCSF, Washington University, NYU, and Harvard, and our results speak for themselves: thousands of successful limb-salvage cases, wound closures, and restored lives.

But our success didn’t come from fancy marketing. It came from doing the hard work—day after day, year after year, one patient at a time.

We don’t imitate others; we lead.


The Silicon Valley Analogy That Says It All

You can buy a smartphone that looks like an iPhone—but you’ll know the difference the moment you touch it:

Precision, craftsmanship, performance—those aren’t branding.

They’re the product of mastery.

That’s the same difference between a national “vein clinic” franchise and a true vascular surgery practice. Both may promise results, but only one is built from the inside out—designed by surgeons who understand every layer of vascular anatomy and who’ve spent their lives repairing what others only gloss over.

You don’t entrust your heart to a podiatrist. Why trust your circulation to a part-time “vein doctor”?


Doctors, Not Marketers

At South Bay Vascular, every diagnosis and every procedure decision is made by a board-certified vascular surgeon. We don’t delegate your health to staff with limited training or chase profits with unnecessary procedures. Our team includes highly trained nurses, registered vascular technologists, and surgeons working in perfect alignment—an ecosystem built on integrity, not income. A model we pioneered; not something we copied.

We’ve watched national chains expand through financial engineering—backed by private equity firms that see patients as revenue streams. That’s not us.

Our success was earned by putting patients first, not profits. Always has been. Always will be.


Now Is the Time

As the year draws to a close, most patients have already met their insurance deductibles—making this the perfect time to schedule vein or circulation treatments before 2026 resets your out-of-pocket costs.

Don’t wait. Varicose veins are more than cosmetic—they can signal deeper, dangerous circulatory issues.
Our Campbell-based outpatient vascular center offers same-day evaluations, advanced ultrasound diagnostics, and minimally invasive treatments—all performed by board-certified vascular surgeons.

If you want authentic expertise, decades of experience in the community setting and not advertising gloss, you’ll find it here.


Experience Matters—And It Shows

From Campbell to Santa Cruz, Gilroy to Fremont, and soon our new East San Jose office, South Bay Vascular continues to lead the fight against vascular disease throughout Silicon Valley. We didn’t buy this reputation; we didn’t copy the model for success from another vascular surgical practice: We earned it—one healed wound, one saved limb, and one grateful family at a time.

Because real care can’t be franchised. It’s built—by hand, by heart, and by the hands of surgeons who still believe medicine is about humanity, not margins.

If you or anyone you know suffers from a circulatory illness; require dialysis care; can’t sleep at night because of throbbing pain in your leg; or has varicose veins or swollen legs, call us today to schedule an appointent at 408-376-3626.

CONFIDENT LEGS, CONFIDENT LIFE (SM): THE PROFESSIONAL WOMANS GUIDE TO VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT

Why Varicose Veins Are More Than Just Cosmetic

As a successful, driven woman, you invest in your appearance, your wellness, and your future. You maintain your professional polish and personal health—but varicose veins can undermine both. If you’re a woman between 30 and 55 living in Morgan Hill, CA, dealing with bulging, twisted veins in your legs, you’re not alone—and you’re certainly not without options.

Varicose veins aren’t just unsightly. They can signal deeper circulatory problems, cause physical discomfort, and limit your ability to wear what you want, move how you want, and live the energetic lifestyle you’ve built. Whether you’re standing in heels all day, chasing deadlines, or balancing your professional career with family life, your legs carry you—literally and figuratively. They deserve the best.


Meet the Vascular Surgeon Women Trust: Dr. Polly Kokinos

In a world of impersonal clinics and system-based referrals, Dr. Polly Kokinos stands apart—as an independent, board-certified vascular surgeon with over 30 years of experience and a reputation for unmatched results in the treatment of varicose veins and advanced vascular care.

Unlike large healthcare systems where referrals often land you with the on-call provider of the day, Dr. Kokinos personally evaluates and treats every patient. Her combination of clinical precision, artistic eye, and the empathetic touch of a woman makes her the go-to expert for professional women who want the best—and expect the best.


Varicose Veins: Causes, Concerns, and Consequences

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins typically found in the legs. They occur when faulty vein valves allow blood to pool instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart. Over time, this leads to visible bulging veins, pain, and swelling.

Common Triggers for Professional Women:

  • Long hours of standing or sitting at work
  • Pregnancy or hormonal fluctuations
  • Genetics
  • High heels or restrictive clothing
  • Stress and lifestyle factors

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore:

  • Visible, bulging blue or purple veins
  • Achy, heavy legs—especially at the end of the day
  • Throbbing, burning, or cramping in the legs
  • Swelling in feet or ankles
  • Skin discoloration or dry, itchy patches around the veins

Varicose veins are not just cosmetic. Left untreated, they can lead to chronic venous insufficiency, skin ulcers, and even blood clots.


You Deserve More Than a Spa or Cosmetic Center

Many women are lured by med-spas or dermatology offices offering quick vein treatments—but here’s the truth: vein disease is a medical condition. If not assessed and treated by a specialist, you risk wasting money on ineffective treatments—or worse, masking a serious vascular issue.

Dr. Kokinos isn’t just certified—she’s a pioneer. As one of the few female board-certified vascular surgeons in Northern California, her surgical precision and medical insight are matched only by her refined, compassionate approach to aesthetic outcomes.

At South Bay Vascular Center, every patient undergoes a full diagnostic vascular ultrasound to determine the true cause of their vein disease. This isn’t guesswork. It’s science. And it’s why her patients consistently experience better long-term results, less recurrence, and restored confidence.
