The full guide to varicose veins
This page covers seeing us from Boonton. The detail — what causes it, how it is examined, what each treatment involves and what it does not do — is on the main varicose veins page, and it is the one worth reading.

- Aching or throbbing legs that get worse as the day goes on
- Heaviness or fatigue in the legs, especially after standing
- Swelling around the ankles by evening
- Night cramps or restless, jumpy legs

Coming from Boonton
The practice is at 624 Main Rd, Suite 2B, Towaco, NJ 07082 — in Towaco, in the Montville township, off Main Road. Parking is on site.
Boonton is in Morris County, and the great majority of this practice's patients come from the same cluster of Morris and Essex County towns. That matters more than it sounds for vein and pain care: both usually involve a first consultation, a diagnostic step, and then treatment and follow-up over some weeks. It is care you want close by.
No referral is needed to book a consultation. If your insurance plan requires one, we will tell you when we check your benefits — before your appointment rather than after it.
What the first appointment is
A conversation and an examination. What you are experiencing, how long it has been going on, what you have already tried, and what you can no longer do. Then Dr. D'Alessio examines you and tells you what she thinks is causing it.
You will leave knowing what the problem appears to be and what the options are — including when the honest option is that you do not need a procedure.
Treatment
How it is treated
Radiofrequency Ablation
Controlled heat delivered through a thin catheter seals a refluxing vein from the inside. An office procedure under local anaesthetic, and the standard replacement for vein stripping.
What it involves →Varithena® Microfoam
An FDA-approved foam that fills and collapses veins too twisted or branched for a catheter. Injected, not threaded, so shape is not an obstacle.
What it involves →Sclerotherapy
A series of tiny injections that collapse spider veins and small varicose veins so the body absorbs them. The standard treatment, and still the best one for surface veins.
What it involves →Ultrasound Vein Mapping
A painless standing ultrasound that shows which veins are refluxing, how badly and how far. The map everything else is built on.
