Dr Afshar is patient and kind in explaining venous insufficiency and how the work done by his team sets me up to experience fewer problems in the future while also addressing my current symptoms. I feel very comfortable asking questions and always felt very well cared for.

Great Experience

The process was very easy, having both legs done and traveling to two of the clinics. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and explain the steps through the entire process. They ensure you are comfortable with the entire process from start to finish.

Wonderful experience

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Afshar and his incredible staff. The warmth, genuine care and friendliness of each person I came in contact with put me at ease from my very first visit. The follow-up phone call, after each procedure, from Dr. Afshar himself was a perfect example of the of the genuine concern for the patient. I am also more than pleased with the results of the procedures themselves. I would, and will, recommend Dr. Afshar to anyone!

Fantastic Procedure, Very Satisfied

The Vein Institute is a very professional environment. I received exceptional service from RN Renee. Her impressive expertise in the procedure will keep me coming back. I also appreciate the overall friendly, kind service and patience in answering all of my questions. Looking forward to fantastic results and feeling very confident wearing shorts, skirts, and mini dresses as the weather gets warmer. I will be back.

Great practice

I recently had my varicose veins treated by Dr. Afshar, and it was such an easy procedure. He and all of the staff were so helpful, and explained every aspect of what would happen, that I was extremely relaxed throughout.

Thank you for helping to rid me of my leg pain!

Great physician very thorough

Doctor Afshar is great and has a passion to care for his patience, he is very professional in greeting you explaining to you what your procedures will be and breaks it down for you to understanding and also follows up. After procedure is done he makes sure that one of his staff members calls to check up on you the following day to see how well you are doing and if there are any questions or concerns you may have. I have been satisfied this far.
