What we like most about Dr. Aquino is how she has built San Francisco Vein Center into a practice focused on in-office care. She treats varicose veins, spider veins, and venous insufficiency with sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, laser therapy, and VenaSeal closure.

She also serves on the board of the San Francisco Marin Medical Society. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. Melinda Aquino among the top three vascular surgeons in San Francisco.
