Vein Treatment Testimonials from VSA Patients

For most of my life, I had twisted varicose veins that were excruciating and my legs were swollen. I heard horror stories about vein stripping and I was terrified at the thought of surgery. But then I went to see Dr. Jeffrey Alpern who immediately put me at ease. He showed me through a painless ultrasound how and precisely where incompetent valves in my venous system were causing my problem. After going through some simple and painless out patient procedures, I immediately felt better. Within a few days, I was able to resume normal activities that I hadn’t done for years. The best part came from being able to wear shorts again without any bulging veins, swelling or any pain! Thank you, Dr. Alpern for giving me back my life!

I saw Dr. Jeffrey Alpern because of ugly veins in my legs. I also had pain and swelling in my legs and just figured it was part of getting older. Dr. Alpern showed me how my spider veins and other symptoms were due to problems in my saphenous vein system and would likely get worse without treatment. I went through a simple out patient surgery and could not believe how it changed my life. Not only were my ugly veins gone, so was my pain and swelling. Most of my treatment was covered by insurance. I feel like a teenager again!  If you have vein problems, you will be in the best hands possible with Dr. Alpern as your vascular surgeon!

Finding the right doctor for any type of treatment can be a very arduous process, and I had three unpleasant experiences until I was referred to Dr. Jeffrey Alpern. From the very first appointment, I felt confident of having found not only an outstanding physician and specialist, but also a person who was compassionate and caring. Dr. Alpern did not waste appointment time by spreading the necessary pre-treatment procedures over a period of several appointments, thus saving me money and time. Dr. Alpern’s good sense of humor and courteous manners reduced the normal anxiety a patient has before and during medical procedures. I recommend Dr. Alpern without hesitation to anyone suffering from vein problems.
