Vein & Laser Institute opened in LaPorte.

The doctor’s office specializes in non-invasive treatments for vein, cosmetic and medical conditions. A ribbon-cutting and open house will take place 5-7 p.m. Oct. 14 at 125 East Shore Parkway, suite C in LaPorte.

The LaPorte Economic Advancement Partnership is hosting the ceremony, which will be followed with food and office tours, to introduce the business to the public. It will be open to the public, but people should RSVP at www.laportepartnership.com in advance.

The Vein & Laser Institute has been around for 17 years and has offices in Crown Point, Munster and Valparaiso. Its board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional radiologists treat patients with minimally invasive treatments, such as image-guided care.

“We are very excited to open a new location in LaPorte County where we will be able to provide patients options for vein-related issues,” Medical Director Dr. Omar Barakat said. “For over 20 years, we have been performing the most up-to-date vein and cosmetic treatments in Lake and Porter counties and it was important that we be able to extend that same level of excellence and care to La Porte and surrounding area residents.”
