About Advanced Vein & Laser Center

What is Advanced Vein & Laser Center?

Advanced Vein & Laser Center is a vein center with offices in York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Most of its services are vein treatments: radiofrequency ablation, Varithena, sclerotherapy, alternatives to leg vein removal, and compression stockings and wraps. It also offers body treatments, including Weight Loss Plus+, nutrition and fitness coaching, hormone replacement therapy, Emsculpt NEO, Emface facial contouring, and Emsella for urinary incontinence and for sexual health.

Three people are listed as prescribers: Steven Heird, FACS, MD, and David Winand, FACS, MD, who are vascular surgeons, and Amanda Shaffer, FNP-BC, MSN, who leads the Weight Loss Plus+ program. Dr. Heird has over 28 years of experience.

The practice has a 4.9 rating on Google from 403 reviews and is listed under vascular surgeon. Its centers are accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).

Weight Loss Plus+ is the clinic's weight loss program. In its own words: "Weight Loss Plus+ at Advanced Vein and Laser Center provides personalized plans tailored to your unique needs, including nutritional guidance, exercise support, and custom-compounded vitamins." The program is described as vitamins, coaching and exercise. It does not name a weight loss medication.

This listing is for its York office at 191 Leader Heights Rd.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy, body treatments or consultations. It does not say whether a weight loss plan includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA use or financing. There is a Payment & Financing link, so ask what that covers before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs any prescription, and whether that person is Dr. Heird, Dr. Winand or Amanda Shaffer. Ask whether any medication is brand-name or compounded. The Weight Loss Plus+ program includes custom-compounded vitamins and does not name a weight loss medication, so ask what, if anything, would be prescribed and what it costs each month.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, lab work and follow-up visits, and what each costs on its own. Ask whether telehealth is offered, how cancellation works, and whether you can see the full price before your first visit. Finally, confirm the York number. The number listed for York is (717) 528-2026, but an older blog post gives (717) 741-2214.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want vein treatment or a body treatment from a practice that names surgeons and a nurse practitioner as its prescribers, and you are willing to ask for prices directly. It is a weaker fit if you need to know the full monthly cost before you make a call.
