About our Vein Clinic

Our founder and lead Phlebologist, Dr. Sameer Gupta ("Dr. Sam"), is a Harvard graduate who trained at Mayo Clinic, and is a recognized leader in the treatment of vein disease throughout the world, having treated thousands of patients across the United States and abroad. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine. He is one of the 795 Physicians in the nation currently certified by The American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine.

Many of our patients have found success after previously failed varicose vein treatments elsewhere, such as painful vein stripping, injection sclerotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation (VNUS closure). Our varicose vein treatments are virtually pain-free, performed in-office, and you can resume normal activities immediately.

Alsara Vein Clinic is located across from Dunkin' Donut Shop, between Kline Motors and Sinclair gas station at 1105 S Belt Hwy, St Joseph, MO 64507, less than a milenorth of US-36 on US-169.  There is ample parking with handicap access. The interior is very comfortable and homey.

There is no referral necessary to seek care. We offer consultations. Typically, the next step is a screening and diagnosis, which is done in the office and is pain-free. The Phlebologist (Vein Specialist) will perform a detailed examination, make a diagnosis, and will then discuss with you the best treatment options. Alsara Vein Clinic accepts most insurances. Our Patient Account Services personnel will be able to determine your insurance coverage and any copays during your visit.

At Alsara Vein Clinic, we do veins all day, every day. We love what we do, and more importantly, we love putting smiles on our patient's faces after life-changing treatments. Life is a beautiful journey. We're here to help. Call us at 816-396-0245, download our free info brochure, or visit Alsara Vein Clinic at 1105 S Belt Hwy, Saint Joseph, MO 64507 (see Map location).

A Message from Dr. Sam

Treating vein problems is my passion. Although the science of medicine is not perfect and our healthcare system is constantly changing, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients. Many came with unsuccessful vein treatments in the past and some were told that nothing more could be done. Restoring their health (and lost smiles) has been a very humbling experience.

The wealth of knowledge and experiences that I have gained in practice is priceless. Many patients have told me that my work has changed their lives. The truth is that along the way they have changed mine!

Life is a beautiful journey; I wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything in the world.

Sam Gupta, M.D., your St Joe Vein Doctor
