Meet Our Doctor

Dr. Mark A. Matey
Under the direction of Dr. Mark A. Matey, Jacksonville Vein Specialists provides comprehensive vein care at three locations in Bartram Park, Atlantic Beach, and Palm Coast, Florida. His medical services include the diagnosis and treatment of spider and varicose veins, as well as more complex venous conditions like restless legs syndrome, venous ulcers, and venous stasis dermatitis.

Dr. Matey treated many veterans who suffered from vascular disease and chronic non-healing wounds during his surgical residency at the Miami VAMC. Dr. Matey was extensively trained in the diagnosis, management, and surgical treatment of venous vascular disease of the lower extremities.

After settling down in Jacksonville, Dr. Matey was approached by the Baptist Medical Center to help open its Wound Care Institute, the first center in Northeast Florida to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing. At the new center, he gained extensive experience in using a vast array of the most advanced biologic and technical treatments.

One of these innovative therapies stood alone for its profound and lasting impact: endovenous radiofrequency ablation. Dr. Matey immediately saw how this therapy changed lives and decided to dedicate his medical career to continuing to improve the lives of patients with venous disease.

Over the last 15 years, he has gained a wealth of experience, many of those patients being the most complicated and at high risk for limb loss as a result of long-standing chronic venous ulcers. Now all patients in Northeast Florida with venous disease can benefit from his experience successfully treating the legs the other guys turned away, just imagine what he can do with yours.

Dr. Matey and the team at Jacksonville Vein Specialists are dedicated to treating each one of their unique patients like family. Making you feel welcome doesn’t require expensive advertising or a fancy office, just attention to the simple details that create a warm, comfortable atmosphere at each of the three offices.

The team at Jacksonville Vein Specialists strives to educate like a teacher, empathize like a parent, laugh like a close friend, operate like they have done it before, and save you money like your accountant. Patient satisfaction is more important than economics in their office and they refuse to abandon their patients even when your insurance plan has. You will always know what the team is doing, why it’s necessary, and what it will cost. Jacksonville Vein Specialists is proud to provide the most friendly, affordable, and comprehensive vein care in Northeast Florida.

What causes spider veins?
Spider veins appear when blood backs up in tiny veins close to the skin’s surface. As the blood accumulates, the veins get larger, making them look like a spider web of reddish-purple lines.

These unsightly veins most often affect your face and legs, where they develop when valves that keep blood flowing toward your heart become weak and can’t work properly. As a result, the blood flows backward and gets stuck between valves, creating engorged veins.

The valves in small veins often fail when high pressure in larger veins forces tiny veins to dilate and stretch. It’s also possible for spider veins to develop due to direct trauma.

Am I at risk for spider veins?
These factors increase your risk of developing spider veins:
Genetics
You have a higher chance of spider veins if you have a family history of any type of venous disease.
Older age
Aging affects the tissues in your veins, allowing vein walls and valves to weaken and expand.
Sitting or standing for a long time
Sitting or standing affects circulation in your legs, creating venous hypertension, and increasing the chance of developing spider veins.
Being overweight
Carrying extra weight increases pressure on the veins in your legs, which contributes to spider veins.
Pregnancy
Pregnant women have a much higher risk of developing spider veins, as natural hormonal changes weaken vein walls and the baby’s weight increases pressure on leg veins.

What symptoms will I develop due to spider veins?
Spider veins seldom cause physical symptoms. They’re also not dangerous to your health. However, they have a significant impact on your appearance.

How are spider veins treated?
Two types of treatments safely and effectively eliminate spider veins:
Sclerotherapy
Dr. Matey performs sclerotherapy by injecting a medicated solution into the spider vein. The medication makes the vein collapse, then a scar forms that’s gradually absorbed by your body. As a result, the treated veins are permanently eliminated.
Laser treatment
Specialized lasers use specific wavelengths to target the red and blue pigments in veins. This allows the laser to go safely through your skin while heating the spider vein. After the laser’s heat destroys the spider veins, they’re naturally absorbed by your body.
