About

Dr. Nihas Wagal is a vascular surgeon practicing in Forest Hills, NY. Dr. Wagal is a board-certified physician specializing in the treatment of vein and vascular conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, and spider veins.

Dr. Wagal obtained his medical degree at Williams Carey University and subsequently completed his residency training at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in New York City. He currently sees patients in our Forest Hills, Queens vein clinic where he dedicates his time to providing patient-centric and fully customized care to help relieve unique and varying symptoms of vein disease.

Dr. Wagal is passionate about patient education while providing the best possible evidence-based care for his patients. This has led him to pursue extensive training in the treatment of venous related issues using ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous radiofrequency and laser ablations. He believes that the best experiences in medical environments are when both doctor and patient are on the same page, and he spends extra time with patients to answer all their questions before they leave his clinic.

"When we communicate clearly and educate patients about their symptoms rather than simply diagnosing them with an unfamiliar medical term, we allow them to make informed decisions about their health. In my practice, I strive to help patients truly understand the root cause of their symptoms and arm them with the knowledge and confidence to seek the available treatments."

  • How dangerous is a blood clot in the leg?

    Hi, my name is Nara. I’m a vein specialist on Dr. Wagal’s team. Blood clots in the legs can be dangerous in many ways. From obstructing healthy blood flow, to breaking free from the vein wall and traveling toward the heart and lungs, which can cause fatal embolism or other complications. Prevention is key when it comes to blood clots—maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet can all lower your risk for developing blood clots. It is important to see a vein specialist to evaluate your risk. If you have been diagnosed with a blood clot, have a family history of blood clots, or are concerned about blood clots, we can help!
