Relief is here!

Laura Briedis • February 10, 2026

Nobody should ever have to suffer from leg pain.

A person sits on a bed, holding their lower leg near the ankle, where visible veins are apparent.

With a third of the population suffering from arterial disease and leg pain, the chances that you could be one of them is high. The area Ohio Vein & Vascular locations are offering free leg screenings.


Leg pain has a way of interfering with daily life—shortening walks, turning stairs into obstacles and making once-simple activities exhausting. While many people chalk it up to aging or inactivity, persistent leg pain can be a sign of an underlying vascular issue that shouldn’t be ignored.


Just ask Tom, a Strongsville resident who suffered from leg pain for years. “I was aware of the pain in my leg and just thought it came with age,” he says. “My wife called Dr. Zadeh for a screening and we found out that I had blockage. Now after my treatment I feel 10 years younger.”


“Big” Mike, another Cleveland area resident, was an avid softball player traveling the country, playing the sport he loved. That was until he started having leg issues.


“I had so many leg problems over the years, and the doctors I saw could not help. Then my wife read an article about Dr. Zadeh, and she said ‘Mike, I think this is who you need to go see,’” Mike says emotionally. “I thank the Lord that she happened to pick that paper up. It’s just the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.” 


What do these patients have in common? Their vascular-related leg pain went unrecognized and untreated for far too long.


“About one-third of the population has venous disease and about half of those would benefit from medical intervention,” says Dr. Barry Zadeh of Ohio Vein & Vascular, who has built a regional network of vein and vascular centers with locations in Avon, Medina, Independence, Mentor, Canton, Norwalk, Mansfield and Columbus. “Though vein and vascular problems skew to the elderly, I have also treated teenagers. It really can affect anyone.”


“Vein disease doesn’t discriminate,” says Dr. Zadeh. “We treat teachers, nurses, athletes and retirees. Anyone can experience it.”


Minimally Invasive Solutions

For patients suffering from leg pain or swelling caused by vein reflux disease, varicose veins, valve insufficiencies or ulcers of the extremities, Ohio Vein & Vascular offers relief though minimally invasive procedures. Tiny catheters are used to treat damaged veins and bring patients quick relief.


Physicians offer a full range of veinous interventions, from thermal ablations to mechanical-chemical ablations to microfoam ablations, which close damaged veins and reroute blood to healthy veins nearby. 


Dr. Zadeh also specializes in advanced arterial procedures to treat peripheral artery disease and other artery conditions.


Care Close to Home

“We offer the best care for all things related to your legs, from minor superficial issues to severe leg and foot ulcers to neuropathy,” Dr. Zadeh says. “We can also take care of most arterial needs in our own cath lab, so there is no need for a hospital visit.”


Ohio Vein & Vascular – Avon is equipped with advanced technology, allowing most vein procedures to be done in the office without requiring a trip to the hospital. And with its in-office cath lab in Medina, most arterial procedures also can be done in the comfort of an office setting. 


“With our growing network of 10 Ohio Vein & Vascular centers, we can usually see new patients within days,” Dr. Zadeh says. “You don’t have to live with pain. Relief is here.”
