one-stop shop for diagnostic testing and treatment
Your vascular exam is performed in a comfortable, relaxed setting by one of our board-certified vascular technologists. Our lab is conveniently located within the same space as Chuback Vein Center; it’s your one-stop shop for diagnostic testing and treatment. The ultrasound itself is actually quite simple.
While lying in an easy position, water-based jelly-like “ultrasound gel” is applied onto the area of interest and a handheld “transducer” is used to scan either the legs, arms, abdomen, or neck. Some people also refer to this as a “Doppler” or “sonogram” study. The “transducer” is like a magic wand converting sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear into black and white images of the blood vessels in our bodies. Ultrasound exams are completely safe and do not involve any exposure to radiation.

Last but not least, you can expect inspiration for healthy lifestyle modifications including smoking cessation and weight loss. We encourage patients to follow up with their primary medical doctors for the management of other co-morbid conditions, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Together, we are active participants in stamping out vascular disease.

We examine the arteries in the legs, arms, abdomen, and neck to make sure there are no “blockages” or “aneurysms” preventing the blood from circulating properly, which can ultimately starve your organs and muscles of much needed oxygen. Studies that you might be familiar with or that your primary medical doctor may order include:
We study the veins in your legs, arms, abdomen, and neck to check for the presence of a “blood clot” which can lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. Studies that you might be familiar with or that your primary medical doctor may order include:
We examine the legs to determine if you have a condition called “reflux”. This means your blood is flowing in the wrong direction and is the leading cause of varicose veins, pain, and swelling. Studies that you might be familiar with or your primary medical doctor may order include:
Bergen County and the Tri-State Area
We also offer a complete vascular screening study which is an exam of the neck, abdomen, and legs. Screenings are simple tools used to detect possible blood flow issues that can result in the inability to perform simple daily tasks such as walking to the mailbox, climbing a set of stairs, or just digesting breakfast. Ideal candidates for a screening exam include patients with diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, obesity, smoking or history of smoking, family history, known vascular disease, and the natural aging process.
We invite you to become a part of the Chuback Vein Center family. We are confident in our ability to restore your health and wellness.
