Board-Certified Vascular Surgeons with one focus: your veins.
Most vein procedures in the U.S. are performed by physicians without board certification in treating vascular disease — physicians whose residency and fellowship training was in something else. At Asheville Vein Center, every patient is seen by a board-certified vascular surgeon whose practice is devoted entirely to vein disease. From cosmetic spider veins through complex venous insufficiency, you’ll receive expert care built on the deepest training in the field.
Painful, bulging veins that cause aching, heaviness, and swelling in the legs — treated in-office with minimally invasive RF ablation, microphlebectomy, or sclerotherapy.
Small, web-like, unnatractive veins near the skin's surface treated with sclerotherapy — quick, in-office, and highly effective.
When vein valves fail, blood pools and causes discomfort, swelling, skin changes, and ulcers. Early, in-office treatment relieves symptons and prevents progression.

Who We Are
A Practice Built for One Purpose: Caring for Your Veins
Asheville Vein Center was built with one purpose: delivering the highest-quality vein care in Western North Carolina. It’s all we do. Dr. Richard Bock and Dr. Danielle Fontenot are the region’s only board-certified vascular surgeons dedicated 100% to the treatment of vein disease — both symptomatic and cosmetic — in a comfortable, patient-centered setting.
Although more than half our patients are physician-referred, it’s not required. In fact, many patients find us on their own, and we welcome that.
We’re conveniently located at 1091 Hendersonville Road in Asheville — just off I-40, less than a mile from Biltmore Village.

Why Choose Asheville Vein Center
Western NC's only 100% Vein-Focused Practice
Heavy, aching, restless legs are often a sign of vein disease — even with no visible veins. We diagnose with precision ultrasound and treat the root cause.
Our RF ablation and sclerotherapy procedures are performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients return to normal activity within a few days.
For patients with leg symptoms or complaints, we start with a thorough, precise duplex ultrasound exam. This test pinpoints the underlying cause of vein problems, and allows us to plan effective, minimally invasive treatment.
Most vein treatments are covered by insurance when medically necessary. We work with almost all major insurance providers to make care accessible.
