Dr. Amir Issa is a double-board-certified interventional specialist with a clinical focus on interventional pain and venous disease. He is certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, the most prestigious certification for interventional vein doctors. He is also a registered phlebology sonographer.
ABVLM-certified phlebologists undergo rigorous training and pass a comprehensive exam to demonstrate expertise in diagnosing and treating venous and lymphatic disorders. This certification ensures they have the knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality care and achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Dr. Issa completed a transitional internship at Weill Cornell Medical School, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), followed by a clinical research internship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he developed a strong interest in cancer pain. He then completed his residency at New York Medical College at St. Michael’s, followed by an Interventional Pain fellowship with the North American Spine Society, where he trained in advanced spine procedures, including minimally invasive skeletal and vascular interventions.
Dr. Issa is a member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and the American Vein & Lymphatic Society. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and is frequently invited to present his expertise. His dual-specialty background allows him to provide a comprehensive, multi-system approach to patient care.
“Dr. Issa is an amazing vein doctor. I have been a patient at CURA Vein and Pain for many years. We met Dr. Issa, and our experience has been outstanding with no issues at all. His caring and professional behavior is evident in every detail throughout the process—from scheduling and punctuality to procedure explanations, attitude, and follow-up.”
“This is the one doctor I look forward to seeing. Dr. Issa truly presents himself as a doctor who wants to help you rather than push you. I have suffered from poor circulation for so long, and I no longer have pain after his treatment. I also feel very comfortable discussing non-medical topics with him. At this point, he feels more like a friend. Thank you for being the great doctor you are.”
