There is an extensive and proud history of Long Island Vein Doctors and Vein Centers starting many decades ago and continuing up until today. One of the earliest Long Island vein specialists was Doctor Hyman Biegeleisen. This Suffolk County vein doctor was truly one of the pioneers of vein therapy. He as an early advocate of injection therapy to get rid of both varicose and spider veins without surgery. He is even credited with coining the word ‘sclerotherapy’ which is the medical term for the injection treatment of veins. Dr. Biegeleison wrote medical journal articles on varicose vein treatment as early as the early 1930’s. He was a graduate of Stuyvesant High School and Columbia University in New York City, and received a medical degree from Long Island College Hospital, before becoming the first (and by default, the best) vein specialist on Long Island, New York.

Todays oldest and most established Long Island vein center is run by two doctors who are both vein specialists, Dr. Martin L. Schulman M.D. and Dr. Lee G. Schulman M.D. This father and son vein doctor practice has over 60 years of combined experience and have themselves made many contributions to the treatment of both varicose and spider veins. Dr. Martin Schulman was even an early supporter of Dr. Beigeleison having spent time in his Suffolk County vein center learning and speaking with Dr. B. While Begeleison was world famous and surely one of the top vein specialists of his day, seeing patients from all over the US, the Schulman’s have also carried on his traditions. They have offices in NYC on Park Avenue, in Manhasset in Nassau County and in Commack in Long Islands Suffolk County.
