About Us

• Dr. Allen Chan is a board-certified vascular surgeon who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular conditions in both the arterial and venous circulation of the body. With his office in Murrieta, California, Dr. Chan has been treating many Temecula Valley residents since 2005.  He received his M.D. from UCSF Medical School in San Francisco, and his specialty training at Harvard Medical School (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) in Boston, and University of Washington in Seattle.  He is the founder of SoCal Vein and Aesthetics, and a co-founder of West Coast Surgical Specialists.  He is dedicated to helping his patients to live long, live well, and live proud.   Arterial Circulation:  Dr. Chan’s interests in the arterial circulation of the body include the treatment of carotid artery blockages,  aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and lower extremities, and blockages of the arteries in the legs (PAD).  He performs minimally invasive procedures utilizing endovascular techniques as well as conventional open approaches.  He is particularly dedicated to limb salvage by working intimately with wound care specialists and podiatrists.  By treating diseases in the arteries and improving arterial circulation, patients are able to live longer and healthier lives.   Venous Circulation:  Circulation problems in the legs often involve the veins rather than the arteries in many people.   Dr. Chan is a leading specialist in the treatment of venous disorders including varicose veins and spider veins in the legs.  While some patients with varicose veins have no symptom at all, many often experience pain, heaviness, fatigue, or swelling in the legs.  If left untreated, varicose veins can lead to serious complications such as non-healing wounds, profuse bleeding, or blood clots.  Dr. Chan provides advanced non-invasive treatments utilizing the latest technology (thermal ablation, chemical ablation, laser, sclerotherapy, ultrasound  guidance imaging, and microphlebectomy) tailored to each individual patient.   Most procedures can be performed in the office without any significant down time from daily activities.  By treating diseases in the venous circulation, patients are able to achieve a better quality of life and wellness.  Aesthetics:  After optimizing health and wellness, many patients choose to undergo aesthetics enhancement in order to maximize their potentials in life.  Cosmetic nurse specialist, Sharon Rees RN, is working with Dr. Chan, under Socal Vein & Aesthetics to offer some of the most advanced treatments in spider veins, rosacea, angioma, acne scars, skin pigments, and aging skin.  Some of the techniques involve the use of the latest Cutera laser, Botox & dermal injections, and Asclera injection. By enhancing their appearance also, patients are able to achieve a higher level of pride that synergizes with their health and wellness.  Dr. Chan welcomes new patients and most major forms of insurance are accepted.
