Free screenings with our staff are available, and Dr Kimmel performs all procedures himself with his excellent staff. Dr. Richard Kimmel, a board-certified cardio-thoracic and vascular surgeon, has been serving the South Florida community since he began in practice in 1991. After performing thousands of major surgical procedures, he began his transition to a full-time office-based vein practice in 2007. As one of the very few cardiovascular surgeons in Florida to exclusively treat vein disease, his experience, training and expertise is unmatched in the Boca Raton area. Dr. Kimmel and his staff are committed to treating their South Florida patients’ vein problems, and laser aesthetic needs in a professional, friendly and safe office setting. The staff at the Kimmel Institute use up to date technology and procedures to insure the best possible results. We treat all types of vein problems, including varicose veins, venous insufficiency and spider veins. Understanding the vascular system like he does, Dr. Kimmel treats more than just leg veins. Other areas treated include the face, hands and chest. The Kimmel Institute also provides other types of laser treatments that rejuvenate skin, diminish wrinkles, and reveal youthful radiance and vitality by using advanced medical technology and exceptional skin care therapies to promote youthful, revitalized skin. Additional esthetic services include laser hair reduction, chemical peels, facials and micro needling.
