Over 30 Years of Excellence in Vein Care
The Central Valley's Premier Vein Specialty Practice
Elmore Medical Vein & Laser Treatment Center is the premier vein specialty medical practice in Fresno and Central Valley of California. No other vein center can offer you the years of experience, the courteous professionalism, and the medical expertise that Dr. Mario H. Gonzalez and his staff provide.
Our History
Pioneering Vein Care in the Central Valley
Elmore Medical Vein & Laser Treatment Center was established in 1990 by Frederick A. Elmore, M.D. as the only full-time vein specialty practice between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area at that time.
The seed was planted in 1977 when Dr. Elmore decided to focus on varicose veins as his special interest. Dr. Elmore became trained in compression sclerotherapy, a nonsurgical method of treating veins developed in Europe. In 1990, Dr. Elmore decided to devote himself full time to treating vein problems and founded Elmore Medical Vein & Laser Treatment Center.
A Legacy of Excellence Continues
In early 2011, Mario H. Gonzalez, M.D. joined the practice. Dr. Gonzalez has been in medical practice since 1989 and is an Assistant Clinical Professor with the University of California, San Francisco. He served as Chief of Staff at Community Medical Centers for six years before deciding to devote his practice full-time to Phlebology (varicose veins & venous problems).
In August 2011, Dr. Gonzalez purchased the practice from Dr. Elmore upon his retirement. Since its founding in 1990, Elmore Medical Vein & Laser Treatment Center has become the premier vein specialty medical practice in Fresno and in the entire Central Valley of California.
"Our history helps you to appreciate our total commitment to provide for you the best health care currently available."

Our Approach to Vein Care
At Elmore Medical, we believe in putting patients first. Our practice is not about performing procedures—it's about taking care of people we care about. This philosophy guides everything we do, from your initial consultation to your follow-up care.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT), Sclerotherapy, Varithena - Transcatheter Sclerotherapy (TCT), Microsurgery, Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy, Ambulatory Phlebectomy
