About Dr. Biegeleisen Dr. Ken Biegeleisen has specialized in the treatment of venous diseases all his professional life, starting long before the AMA even recognized "Phlebology" (the Art & Science of treating diseases of veins) as a specialty. After nearly 30 years of practice, he is among the very most experienced practitioners in the nation. He attended Cornell University (Arts and Sciences) and the New York University School of Medicine. At N.Y.U., he graduated from the prestigious M.D.-Ph.D. program with the combined degrees of M.D. and Ph.D. (Biochemistry). Following a brief stint at Westchester County Medical Center, he proceeded immediately to study vein diseases in the office of his father, Dr. H.I. Biegeleisen (1903-1991). The elder Dr. Biegeleisen was America's premier specialist in the non-surgical treatment of venous diseases for most of the 20th century. (In those days, such an "apprenticeship" was the only way to learn vein treatment in the United States). Dr. Ken Biegeleisen opened his own office in New York in 1979, and quickly began publicizing the non-surgical treatment of varicose and spider veins. He made appearances on several evening news programs, as well as TV and radio talk shows. His practice was featured in articles in Glamour, Ladies Home Journal, Harper's Bazaar, and other leading magazines. (Click here to see some of these magazine write-ups) He also co-founded the Phlebology Society of America, which was this nation's first medical society devoted exclusively to peripheral vascular disease. He organized and ran a number of international venous symposia, which attracted leading authorities on the surgical and non-surgical treatment of venous diseases from all over the world. Dr. Biegeleisen is no longer active in medical politics, concentrating instead upon the delivery of high-quality patient care, and the development of better methods of diagnosing and treating vein disease. His research culminated in the Venoscope, a sophisticated diagnostic and treatment cathether which will bring Phlebology into the 21st century. A simplified version of the Venoscope is already in use in virtually every hospital in the United States. Incredibly, although Dr. Biegeleisen's authorship of this new technology is not disputed in any corner, he nevertheless receives no royalties.
