Dr. Chad Aleman is a board-certified physician who began his practice as a full-time vein specialist in January of 2008. He is passionate about his mission to improve the lives of those with symptomatic varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. With over 15 years of experience as a vein specialist, Dr. Aleman has performed literally tens of thousands of modern, minimally invasive vein treatments. The treatments are all performed in the office with minimal discomfort or downtime. The importance of clinical expertise obtained by those years of experience and focus on vein disease cannot be overstated.

In 2009, Dr. Aleman was in the second class of vein doctors to pass a rigorous exam to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine. This is a select group that has proven their dedication and competence in the field of venous and lymphatic medicine. A big believer in lifelong learning, Dr. Aleman has continued to obtain knowledge and skills that improve the care he provides to patients with varicose veins and venous insufficiency. Dr. Aleman frequently attends and lectures at many national meetings to other vein specialists. 

Dr. Aleman earned additional ultrasound certifications from the Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement (APCA) and the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS), the most stringent credentialing bodies for ultrasound quality in the United States. He maintains both Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) and the Registered Vascular Technician (RVT) certifications. These are optional certifications that Dr. Aleman chose to pursue so that he could master the skills required in ultrasound to optimally care for his patients with vein disease.

Prior to opening his private practice, Dr. Aleman practiced in Kennesaw and Marietta as part of Vein Clinics of America. In addition to running his own busy practice, he served as Regional Medical Director and oversaw all of their clinics in Georgia and North Carolina. For several years in this role, he provided clinical supervision over a team of seven other vein specialists along with several physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and ultrasound techs.

A native of New Orleans, Dr. Aleman earned his undergraduate degree at Louisiana State University and his medical degree at Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans. He is a member of the American Vein & Lymphatic Society, the Medical Association of Atlanta, and the Medical Association of Georgia. Prior to his transition to venous medicine, Dr. Aleman practiced emergency medicine and remains Board Certified through the American Board of Emergency Medicine.

Dr. Aleman resides in Sandy Springs with his wife, Dr. Jennifer Shih, twin daughters, and the family dog. Outside of medicine, he enjoys hiking, going to the gym, boating, cooking, college football, and trying to make people laugh.
