Vein Center Houston Receives Texas' First and Only Accreditation by the IAC

Vein Center Houston has been granted accreditation in Superficial Venous Treatment and Management by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), making it the only vein center in the state of Texas with this designation. Accreditation by the IAC also means that Vein Center Houston has voluntarily undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts. The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process, including a detailed review of selected patient procedures.

"Vein Center Houston continues to provide new benchmarks in its accreditations and expertise," said Mario O. Kapusta, M.D., Vein Center Houston founder. "Once again, we are the exclusive vein center provider in not only the city of Houston, but also the entire state, with these credentials. We started as an award winning faility and are proud to be a part of raising standards in the medical community," he added.

IAC accreditation is the gold standard "seal of approval" that patients can rely on as an indication that the vein center's processes and procedures have been carefully evaluated by medical experts in the field of treatment and management of superficial venous disorders. When scheduling a vein center procedure, patients are encouraged to inquire as to the accreditation status of the facility where their treatment and management will be performed. IAC accreditation is widely respected within the medical community, as illustrated by the support of the national medical societies.
