I agree with the other reviewer. It is a very impersonal place and the results depend on which doctor you get. Believe it or not, the newer doctors are better because they care more. I've gone a bunch of times because it is convienent but after my last visit I am done. You are rushed in, rushed out, charged $500.00 and results are 50/50. If I'm paying that much money for something, I want the person to listen to what veins are bothering me and focus on them and get rid of them. I felt like they were annoyed that I was suggesting what I wanted done and in the end, there were two very specific ones I wanted injected and I told them that and they didn't touch them.

Pros: They specialize in vein treatment and don't do any other cosmetic procedures
Cons: Impersonal, not informative, and ultimately average results

Be AWARE 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I must say that I am very impressed with the ambiance of the office. However, that is where my good impressions halt. I went for a treatment of a vein and was looking for a consultation prior to the procedure. I did some research on the treatments offered, but at the same time I expected to receive some further insight from the doctors and assistants. The assistants were very impersonal during the consultation and did not tell me about the different procedures they offer. I was told to wait in a room for the doctor to show up and when he did he treated me as quickly as possible. After signing all these documents to protect them from lawsuits, the doctor told me what he was going to do. He didnt explain anything about it except that it was an educated gamble. I was given no directions on how to treat the vein after the treatment and went through three weeks of bruising and pain. The treatment cost $500 and in the meantime I was pushed in and out as quickly as possible. I was just a dollar sign rather than a patient. Be very cautious when going there. Ask a lot of questions and be skeptical of the doctor and the staff. It is a money making machine and they show little care and concern for the patient.
