Vein Center Houston Wins at 2004 Design Awards for New Facility Conversion
HOUSTON, Texas--(Business Wire)--April 29, 2004--Vein Center Houston was awarded this past weekend with one of the most prestigious architectural awards from the American Institute of Architecture. The 2004 Design Awards recognized Vein Center Houston with its architectural creativity, transformation and overall conversion from a store front setting to its new use as a medical facility. Vein Center Houston, a cosmetic and medical vein treatment center, was concepted by cardiovascular surgeon, Mario Kapusta, M.D., who oversaw and managed the creative direction on the development. Kapusta hired a team to collaborate on the project, including architecture by Morris Architects -- Dan Searight, AIA, senior designer; and construction by Keith Blair and Associates. For continuity in its thematic design, Kapusta also interviewed multiple agencies before hiring Ideation One, Inc. to develop its corporate identity, website and launch its advertising campaign.
The challenge was to convert an abandoned convenience store into a state-of-the-art cosmetic and medical treatment center for a cardiovascular surgeon, in seven months. Working within the confines of the existing structure, the architects created a contemporary design with well-ordered space, a soothing environment, and respect for patient privacy.
“As proud as I am about the award, I truly thank the team we put together in making this dream a reality,” said Kapusta. “And the real reward is hearing compliments from our patients who can now enjoy the finest medical care in an award-winning facility,” he added.
With over 25% of the population possessing vascular disorders and medically treatable vein diseases, the center was a very welcome addition to the prestigious West University and adjacent neighborhoods.
Vein Center Houston has also received recognition on Dr. Kapusta’s authored publishings, its experienced medical staff, and its medical technologies, including its brand new state-of-the-art laser.

Local facial plastic
surgeon and otolaryngologist, Kevin R. Smith, M.D., F.A.C.S., of Smith Cosmetic
Surgery Center has successfully treated numerous patients suffering with recurrent
and chronic migraine headaches with a simple 30-minute procedure. On average,
Dr. Smith cures 15 to 20 chronic headache sufferers annually by repairing the
patient’s deviated septum with a procedure called septoplasty.
A large number of headache sufferers would benefit from a nasal/septal exam and the septoplasty procedure. Repairing the deviated septum is a relatively simple procedure, which takes about 30 minutes. During this surgical procedure, the bone spur is removed and the septum is straightened so the contact point that creates the headache is eliminated. “Many of my patients experience dramatic results after the procedure,” said Dr. Smith.
Jana Johnson, a medical student at the University of Texas- Houston Medical School, suffered from migraines since she was in second grade. “Over the years, I had been to a series of specialists and tried countless treatments to no avail. I had determined that I would just have to deal with the pain for the rest of my life,” said Johnson. “Dr. Smith lectured in one of my classes and explained that a nasal bone spur could cause severe headaches and migraines. I immediately made an appointment with him and discovered that I was a candidate for the procedure. It has been ten months since having the procedure, and I have not had a single migraine. I am a whole new person.”
Other patients have also experienced dramatic relief after having the septoplasty procedure. Donna Riefkohl suffered from migraines for thirty years. “I had to quit my teaching job because I was so debilitated. There were days at a time when I could not even get out of bed and often vomited because the pain was so bad,” said Riefkohl. “After having the procedure, I have not had one headache. I feel like I have a whole new life.”
Another patient, John Porter, experienced such intense pain that his right eye would close and the veins on the side of his head would swell. He was virtually homebound because almost every scent would trigger a migraine. “I was completely debilitated,” said Porter. “It was so intense that I was a slave to pain killers. Demerol, morphine, valium- none of it helped.” Dr. Smith examined him and found a large septal spur. After the septoplasty, Porter is able to function more normally without the excruciating pain. Now, the pain is manageable without taking medication.
Dr. Smith’s education includes specialty training in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology/head and neck surgery. “This has afforded me the knowledge to deal not only with the changing of the external look of the nose, but also ensuring that the internal nose functions optimally,” said Dr. Smith. He completed his pre-med requirements at the University of Michigan. His medical degree and residency were achieved at The University of Texas Medical School - Houston where he currently holds an assistant clinical faculty appointment in the Department of Otolaryngology. He performed a fellowship in facial plastic surgery at McCollough Plastic Surgery Clinic in Birmingham, Alabama.
