About Gentle Vein Care Center
Physician-led vein care, starting with online consultations for Florida patients
Gentle Vein Care Center was created to help patients get clear, practical guidance about leg symptoms, visible veins, swelling, heaviness, and vein disease without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
We are starting with online vein consultations for patients located in Florida while preparing to open an in-person vein clinic in Central Florida.
Our goal is simple: help you understand what may be causing your symptoms, what your next step should be, and whether you may need in-person vein evaluation, ultrasound, conservative care, or future treatment.
Our Story
A more thoughtful way to start vein care
Many patients wait months or years before asking about their leg symptoms. Some are embarrassed by visible veins. Some assume aching, swelling, heaviness, or skin discoloration is just part of aging. Others are not sure whether they need a vein doctor, a primary care doctor, urgent care, compression stockings, or something else.
Gentle Vein Care Center was built to make that first step easier.
Instead of asking patients to guess whether their symptoms are serious enough for a vein clinic, we offer a physician-led online consultation where eligible Florida patients can discuss their concerns from home.
This telehealth-first approach allows patients to start with guidance, education, and a next-step plan before moving into in-person care when appropriate.
Why We Started With Telehealth
You should not have to wait for a clinic location to get guidance
Gentle Vein Care Center is preparing for an in-person Central Florida clinic, but patients already have questions now. Starting with online consultations allows us to help eligible Florida patients understand symptoms such as:
Telehealth cannot replace every part of vein care. It cannot perform an ultrasound, confirm venous reflux by video alone, or provide emergency care. But it can be a useful first step for patients who want physician-led guidance before deciding what to do next.
Meet the Physician
Dr. Jessica Tunis, General Surgeon and Vein Specialist
Medical Director, Gentle Vein Care Center
Dr. Jessica is a Florida-licensed physician with a background in General Surgery, board-certified, and specializing in non-invasive and minimally invasive vein treatments. She created Gentle Vein Care Center to provide careful, patient-centered vein care for people with leg symptoms, visible veins, and concerns about circulation.
Her approach is grounded in clear communication, practical education, and thoughtful evaluation. She believes patients should understand their symptoms and options before moving forward with testing or treatment.
At Gentle Vein Care Center, patients are not treated like a number or pushed into a procedure before their concerns are understood. The first step is listening, reviewing the full picture, and helping each patient understand what makes sense next.
Our Approach
Clear answers before procedures
Vein care can be confusing. Patients often hear about compression stockings, ultrasound, ablation, sclerotherapy, spider vein treatment, venous reflux, and chronic venous insufficiency without knowing what applies to them. Our approach is to slow that process down and make it understandable.
We start with your symptoms
We want to know what you are feeling, how long it has been happening, what makes it worse, what improves it, and how it affects your daily life.
We explain what may be vein-related
Some symptoms are commonly associated with vein disease, including swelling, heaviness, aching, visible veins, itching, burning, and skin changes. Other symptoms may point to something else.
We are honest about telehealth limits
An online consultation can provide guidance, but some patients need an in-person exam, duplex ultrasound, urgent care, emergency evaluation, or care from another specialist.
We focus on the right next step
Not every patient needs a procedure. Some patients may need conservative care, compression guidance, ultrasound, further medical workup, or simply a better understanding of what to watch for.
We prepare patients for future in-person care
When our Central Florida location opens, appropriate patients may continue with in-person evaluation, ultrasound, and treatment options.
What We Help Patients Understand
Common vein-related concerns
Gentle Vein Care Center helps patients better understand symptoms and conditions such as:
Varicose veins
Bulging or twisted veins that may cause aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, or discomfort.
Spider veins
Small visible veins that may be cosmetic, symptomatic, or sometimes associated with other vein concerns.
Leg swelling
Swelling around the ankles or lower legs that may be related to veins, but can also have other causes.
Heavy or tired legs
Legs that feel weighed down, tired, or uncomfortable after standing or sitting for long periods.
Chronic venous insufficiency
A condition where leg veins have trouble moving blood back toward the heart efficiently.
Venous reflux
A vein valve problem that can allow blood to flow backward and pool in the legs.
Skin changes
Discoloration, itching, dryness, thickening, or irritation around the lower legs or ankles.
Compression therapy
Guidance on how compression stockings may fit into conservative care or symptom management.

Who We Serve
Built for Florida patients who want clarity about leg symptoms
Gentle Vein Care Center is currently serving patients located in Florida through online consultations. This may be a good fit for patients who:
- Are concerned about varicose veins or spider veins
- Have leg swelling, aching, heaviness, or restlessness
- Are wondering whether symptoms could be vein-related
- Want to understand whether ultrasound may be needed
- Have questions about compression stockings

Strict Urgent Care Warning
This is not the right fit for emergency symptoms such as sudden one-sided leg swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden severe calf pain, active heavy bleeding, or rapidly worsening infection.
If your symptoms are sudden, severe, or concerning, seek urgent or emergency care.
Our Values
The kind of care we are building
Clarity
Patients deserve explanations they can understand. We avoid unnecessary jargon and explain what symptoms may mean in plain language.
Honesty
Telehealth is helpful, but it has limits. If you need in-person care, ultrasound, urgent evaluation, or another specialist, we will tell you.
Practicality
Good vein care is not only about procedures. Conservative care, compression, walking, leg elevation, skin care, and the right timing for ultrasound all matter.
Respect
Many patients feel embarrassed or frustrated by leg symptoms. We treat those concerns seriously and respectfully.
Thoughtful growth
We are starting lean with telehealth and growing into in-person care carefully. The goal is not to look big overnight. The goal is to build a reliable, patient-centered vein clinic.
