After seeing a billboard about Empire Vein Specialists I decided to go in for a consultation. I had been having problems with my leg circulation for years. Some of my symptoms were swelling, cramping, itching and heaviness. At first I was very nervous but the staff was very friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me. I was treated with VenaSeal procedure on 3 of my veins. When it came down to getting the treatment done Dr. Grewal was amazing, she's very caring and took the time to answer all of my concerns. I'm still going through the healing process but so far my legs feel so much better. I will post another review when I'm done with all of my treatments. Thank you Empire Vein Specialist!

2 week update: Why didn't I do this 10 years ago! Seriously I have no horse Ain this race and I don't know anyone here personally but when something is awesome it's awesome. I still need to go do the cosmetic part of this but my legs feel 20 pounds lighter per leg when I walk. My ankle swelling have reduced to just my extra weight, it was double this size before every day of my life, miserable my energy level is thru the roof for me, I can be on my feet all day and yes of course my feet hurt at the end of the day because I'm human but unlike before when I wake up the next morning they feel good again they used to hurt all the time every day. Anyway, I just had to go on about empire vein specialist I can't say enough about this procedure it was worth every penny. I will be doing another update once I go back in for the cosmetic part and have them removed. Thank you doctor, my trip to New York this year is going to be a completely new experience Wish I had done this 20 years ago.... It took me years to commit to seeing someone about my varicose Veins. I got 2 estimates, I went to west medical 1st and the staff was wonderful but the price was very high for a non covered medical procedure. My niece recommended Empire and I must say as soon as I was taken back with the nurse I was super impressed with their kindness and the Dr. Herself, she pretty much immediately sealed the deal for me! She was real and not pushy just kind straight up and informative. Big plus, they do the treatment in the Riverside facility. I already chose her before I knew the cost and the consultation took until I was satisfied and had all my questions answered. I had my 6 superficial veins closed off on October 14 went back the next day for an ultrasound to make sure no clots were forming and will go back in a month for final check up and get my appointment to have the giant ugly veins that still show removed. I can already feel the difference in the heaviness and aching I constantly suffered with in my legs and feet for YEARS!!! Goodness, why in the world did I wait so long! Thank you all, from the young lady at the front desk on October 14 to my awesome nurse Jessica and of coarse the kick a** Doc that performed the procedure!!!! read more

The doctor and the staff are very nice. The place is very clean. I just was not satisfied with the results. It's been 9 months since I had the 1st procedure, but I didn't see any change, I still have spider veins. I had a bad staining on the Sclerotherapy procedure. The veins got darker, and it looked worse. read more

Be careful!!! They suggested a very expensive treatment that another specialist said I don't need. They'd get the insurance money and I'd end up with sealed veins that didn't need treatment according to a second opinion. Scary! I went for a free consultation because of some superficial veins on my legs. I never had any problems, just cosmetic. After a complimentary ultrasound of my legs by a technician - done prone, not standing (a big red flag!) - a nurse practitioner met with me in a private room where she told me I had venous reflux disease and needed treatment on both legs. She explained how they would insert a catheter and seal off the problematic veins. My cosmetic concerns would not be addressed. She gave me the name of the staff person to call concerning insurance coverage. I was shocked, since I've never had varicose veins or any kind of leg trouble. I drove quite a distance to get a second opinion. I went to a doctor who is Board Certified in Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. He is a top vein specialist who has performed over 5,000 Endovenous Ablations. He personally (not a tech, but the doctor) performed an ultrasound on both legs while I was standing. He said he could treat the cosmetic issues. I then asked him if I had any major problems with my veins and he said, "No." I then told him about my previous diagnosis. He said he has had many patients who have been told similar things and how bad it is to seal off veins that do not need it. Be careful!!! read more

I went in for a free consultation they told me to change the appearance of the veins in my legs would cost $5000 for a "sealing" of the 3 veins. I didn't care I had been dealing with my spider/V veins for 20 years and wanted to get rid of them. The next step was to pay $550.00 for a ultrasound and a new patient consultation. It wasn't until this visit that they Told me I had 5 veins (that you cannot see) and it was going to be $6,000 to seal them but then and only then at this new patient consultation I was told that this is not going to fix the veins appearance. I also needed 5 treatments of sclerotherapy at $400 per treatment. I am definitely getting a second opinion...But I feel ripped off...I just paid 550.00 for nothing. Why was I not told at the free consultation about Sclerotherapy?? I can get that done at my dermatologist!! read more

I am so happy with the results, and am grateful that I went to this office. The office is clean and organized. Very modern, and up to date. The staff is very informative, and professional. The doctor, Dr. Grewal, is a absolute miracle worker. I would recommend this office to anyone struggling with varicose veins, you'll feel comfortable and leave happy that you came. Thank you so much to the entire office for helping me these past few months. I'm so happy with my results read more

I happened into Empire Vein after seeing local billboards. I was seeking varicose vein treatment. I learned a lot about my personal treatment and treatment options. On 5+ visits to the Riverside facility, I have experienced superior customer service from front office, surgical assistants (Silvana), ultrasound technicians (Hailey and Landon) on each and every visit. I'm sorry that I don't remember everyone's name. They have all been friendly, efficient, respectful of time and scheduling. I have felt very well cared for by Dr Grewal. She took the time to explain the procedure, including benefits and risks. She didn't pressure me into anything that I wasn't comfortable with doing. I feel very fortunate to have received care from her and her staff. My PMD also had high praise for her as well. The office is clean and I felt safe and well cared for. Thank you Empire Vein! read more

I just have to say that I don't believe a lot of the people who have written "reviews" here have been to the same place I went. I don't know why someone would want to post falsehoods about another's business but all the negativity written DOES NOT reflect the same place nor the informative and helpful staff I have dealt with at this office. There are NO rude people here. The staff is conscientious, business-like, kind and very helpful. read more

The Dr. is very rude and has horrible bedside manner. I would not recommned this office to anyone I know. Do yourselves a favor and take your business elsewhere. read more

Today 1-30-20 I came in today for a consultation visit. The office is clean, beautiful & modern. The staff is very friendly & professional. Didn't have to wait long which I loved they took me right in & examined me. The nurse practitioner was very professional & friendly & explained everything clearly. Thank you Empire Vein Specialist I hope my insurance authorises my procedure. read more

I believe there is a lot of fraud at this business. My pant legs were rolled up and I was allegedly given an ultrasound. The lady who took me back only put gel on my legs and then wiped it right off. Unless she could do an ultrasound with her hands and a paper towel there was no ultrasound given. I was then directed to another room where the PA came in and told me that they could treat the underlying problem that the ultrasound showed, what ultrasound? The underlined vein issue which is covered by my PPO plan, but not the actual vein that was bulging out that I went in for. They would do the other underlined procedure first and then try to get my insurance to cover the vein that was showing and that vein that I went in for would have a 50/50 chance or probably much less for my insurance to cover. read more

I highly suggest this institute the doctor was very informative and very apt to come any concern I may have had. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable as well. Procedures were short yet quite professional and sterile. Any concerns that I had were conned for knowledgeable answers and attentive care. I highly recommend Empire Vein Specialist. No I can go back to work. And continue to enjoy my life thanks to the higher care of the doctor and staff at this institute. Thank you for all of the staff. In the front office to the back office everything run smooth. read more

I usually never write reviews unless it's totally worth it...If I could give 10 stars I would. 6 months ago I came to have my spider veins disappear and they have pretty much vanished by now. I would say my legs look 90% better after having sclerotherapy done with Dr Grewal. She is AMAZING and did wonders with these legs of mine. My friend recommended her as the best Dr for this procedure. She made me feel comfortable and did it quickly. I hate needles and can't handle pain, but she walked me through it and was extremely patient with me. The facility was so nice, modern and clean. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Grewal, if you desire vein free, smooth looking, sexy legs. She is the BEST! read more

I'm still not done with my treatment but so far I only have great things to say . The doctor is extremely informative and is concerned about the underlining issue rather then just treating the cosmetic. I wasted my time before at another place where they only treated me cosmetically and the veins reappeared. The staff are all extremely kind and helpful and the office is very clean and modern . Can't wait to finish my treatment and love my legs again ! read more

I am so blessed to have found Dr. Grewal, pronounced (Grey-wall) and her amazing staff. I never knew I had a circulation/vein problem until I found Empire Vein Specialists. From the very first phone call and getting me in for a consultation, to the current treatment I'm doing, they have been nothing but respectful, professional, and caring. Dr. Grewal has the sweetest disposition and demeanor. She explains everything she is doing and her assistant Yollie, talked me through EVERYTHING and step Dr. Grewal was doing. If I could give 1000 stars I would. If you need vein treatment or aren't sure you do, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Empire Vein Specialists. Thank you for making me comfortable, and taking exceptional care of me, you are all so amazing. From the ladies up front who are always smiling, and professional to the back office staff who are genuine, professional and caring, and last but not least my amazing and wonderful Dr. Grewal, THANK YOU for all you do and continue to do for me! God bless you all! Keep shining bright! DSR read more

My wife has finished her treatments with Dr Grewal and everyone was great. Very helpful and polite, definitely recommending Dr.Grewal and her staff to family and friends. read more

Dr Grewal is such a sweet person. She's kind and genuinely cares for her patients. I have had such wonderful experiences at every appointment. The location is clean and the staff are professional and friendly. I have had a procedure on each leg and so far so great! I can't wait for the "finished product". I have suffered from bulgy varicose veins for many years and hadn't found a procedure that was within my budget and I felt was safe for me. I found out this was 100% covered by my insurance and I could walk out right after the procedure, no downtime. I am so happy and feel The doctor is a true angel. My answer to my prayers. read more

Update* still need one more procedure have not done because I still have swelling in my legs through out the day. When I squat down my legs feel so tight, it has been 3 plus months and I'm kind of doubting my procedures. I have more discomfort now then before. read more

Facility is nice and clean and nurses are friendly with good bedside manner, I got helpful information at my consult. Minus 2 stars for Rocio, the seemingly apathetic front desk receptionist. Good luck getting her to return phone calls and be prepared to ask multiple questions to get basic information-- I dealt with her in person and also several times over the phone and in my opinion she could really use customer service training. Rocio- you are the first impression of this business and your attitude makes a huge difference in whether or not customers trust and feel good about having treatment done with Empire Vein Specialists. I will be going elsewhere. read more

My friend and I decided to come in for a procedure called Sclerotherapy and I have had this done before at three other places, saying that I was very impressed with the level of Professionalism and Punctuality. The clinic is very beautiful procedure rooms with very modern furniture throughout. Thank you Dr Greewahl for the excellent experience and very informative tips on how to follow up with post care. I will definitely refer all my friends and family. read more

I've called this place several times left a message because no one ever answers the phone and then nobody ever calls me back.. sorry but I'll take my business elsewhere.. whoever is running that office is not doing a very good job! read more

Today I took my mother to have a procedure at this office because she needed a driver for after the procedure. I have a 22 month old daughter, and of course she had to come with. My daughter is very friendly and talkative. She made friends with everyone in the office and was showing the other patient her toys. While waiting for the 25 min procedure to be finished doctor Nina Grewal came out and told me to "can you please keep your daughter quite she is not only disturbing my office but other patients!" I responded and told her "I am extremely sorry that my daughter is not even 2 years old yet and I was keeping her as quite as possible, and told her she was welcome to ask her to keep down her volume." She responded with "I am not going to tell her that you need to discipline your daughter better." I was in complete and totally shock! She must not have children and must not know how hard it is to keep a toddler quite. It's extremely windy outside and I did not want to make her sit in the car. The doctor proceeded to go into the room where my mother was having her procedure done and tell her "is that your daughter in the waiting room she's being distributive and it's rude and annoying other patients." They had one other guest in the waiting room and no one seemed annoyed by my daughters presence. I just left the office and I am furious this lady not only disrespected me but made me feel like a bad mom for having a talkative and healthy child. If you don't like child I would encourage them to have a sign stating no children allowed. Someone please tell me if my feelings are valid or if I'm just overreacting? Being a mom to a toddler is not easy lady thank you for you input!! I would say if possible take your business else where. For a doctor to act in this manner is beside me. I've ran a business before and I would never ever treat any of my clients or anyone in this manner. My daughter could be ADHD or autistic for all she knows. read more

I have nothing but good experiences here . Everybody is so polite an and friendly from the receptionist to every one in the back . The Dr is very thorough. She is awesome . I will recommend this place to family and friends . read more

This place is wack for sure. Went in for a consultation and they had to take an ultrasound of my one leg with spider veins (which are noticeable to the naked eye) and they still did both legs when the other leg didn't have any of showed any signs of spider veins. Then I go to meet the doctor which by the way was unpleasant. Why? I could not for the life of me get a word in what procedure I wanted. Secondly, they offer the most expensive treatment when I have already been to 2 other doctors that recommend a less invasive procedure. This place doesn't make you feel at home at all.... Very unwelcoming from the receptionist to the doctor in charge. Go elsewhere.. these people don't need your money. Also, they won't quit calling you. Months after the visit, they keep calling asking when I'm ready to take the leap and have this procedure done. The procedure was done.. but not by this place. read more

I appreciate the service that was offered for my mom. She had a procedure done called vein seal and she feels much better afterwards. The doctor was helpful and professional. Thank you so much!! read more

Dr. Grewal and her team at Empire Vein Specialists are truly amazing. I had the ClosureFast Procedure done on the veins in both my legs. I am so pleased with the results thus far. My swelling and pain has reduced tremendously and each day gets better. Not to mention how much better my legs look and feel. I HIGHLY recommend her office for issues with vascular veins. They made the entire process effortless. Thank you. read more

Dr. Grewal and staff are absolutely wonderful!! I had one of three vein procedures yesterday and virtually NO pain at all!! The laser procedure I had 6 years ago presented with more pain and this was a far cry from that. I still have two other veins and am looking forward to having Dr. Grewal treat them!! Thank you all for such a wonderful job and also caring so much- you guys are truly amazing! read more

The nurse practitioner is rude. I went in for a consultation. (Meaning I would be asking questions about what I'm interested in getting) I need to know what the process is, what is to be expected ... and she looked annoyed with me and wasn't helpful whatsoever when I was asking. I definitely won't be going back. She made me feel stupid as if I'm supposed to know the anatomy of veins. She should learn how to speak to people especially in that field of work. Anyway, I'll be looking for another place to do business. read more

The doctors and nurses were very professional and gentle making me feel very comfortable during my procedure. They were very friendly and walked me through with the procedure step by step and reassured me along the way. I would highly recommend this doctor for any kind of vein surgery. read more

Met Dr. Grewal for a complementary consultation based on a referral from a satisfied patient. Loved the office and staff. Very helpful and caring doctor. Got lots of information on my options for proceeding. Looking forward to going back. read more

UNFRIENDLY AND UNPLEASANT. The receptionist by the name of Rocio whom this business has chose to hire , is super unfriendly EXTREMELY unpleasant to speak with . She is a hag and has an attitude problem. She has an attitude with every single person who walks in . Shes extremely unprofessional. These clients who you feel are a burden to you are the people who are making it possible for you to receive a check, because of these clients you have the job u have, because of these clients you are able to provide food to put on your table . But she is to self absorbed and unprofessional to think in this way . You can tell she doesn't like her job and that she doesn't want to be bothered by anyone . She is a representation of this business and that is sad for who ever owns and works hard for this business to be successful,that you would allow someone who seems to be ungrateful for the opportunity to ruin your reputation. She will be the reason you are unsuccessful. Her being hired says a lot about the people In charge . Instead of making your clients feel welcomed she's making us feel unwelcome. " you can teach anyone how to do a job , but you can not teach someone to have a good attitude ". It's sad that instead of us leaving satisfied we left with a negative impression. And we will be sure to spread the word ,She is very bad for business read more

I started the vein removal process last summer and I am almost a year out now. I could not be happier. Dr. Grewal and her staff have been more than accommodating. They have been extremely helpful and patient during the procedures. While it's not the most fun, they made it bearable... If I had to do it all over again? Yes, I would do it with them. I am very happy with the results and wish I would have done this years ago! read more

Words do not begin to describe my satisfaction with this office. I have been a few other places that we're not as friendly, from the moment you walk into the establishment, the front desk to the doctor everyone was very professional and polite. Special thank you to Melissa because of you I shall be recommending you guys to anyone I know looking for treatment, you made me feel at ease when I was a nervous wreck. Thank you Empire Vein Specialists read more

I should of listened to the other negative yelp reviews. Terrible experience. Free ultra sound? Then why was asked for my ID and insurance card. Of course I didn't hand that over. This is a pure marketing scam. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. I've been to other vein specialists just wanted a female for my surgery. This place does not give you a proper ultrasound. Technician gave me this fake ultrasound as if she thought that I was going to believe that this was a true ultrasound. Then the PA says that I'm dehydrated that's why I got a false negative after I told her that two other doctors had told me that I need surgery. Also I was not dehydrated I had more than the amount of water that is required to take for an ultrasound. You're going to get a false negative if you do not do a proper ultrasound. Worst of all is I had to bring my daughter that is disabled in her wheelchair which is not easy. Just to come to a place that gives you fake ultrasounds for marketing purposes to make you come back in again for a true ultrasound later. I'm not a doctor and I'm not a nurse but I have a daughter that is severely disabled and I have dealt with many processes and procedures and this is not an ultrasound. Shame on you Empire vein specialist for wasting people's time. I will be contacting the state medical board. read more

Dr. Grewal and staff are amazing! From the minute I walked in the office I was greeted with a smile. The wait time was close to nothing. Dr. Grewal explain the different treatment options and answered any questions and concerns I had. I felt really comfortable getting my three procedures done. Everything was explained during the procedure. If I had any concerns about anything they were completely taken care off. The procedures where done so efficiently and painlessly that I was amazed when I was told we are done. I thought I was getting prepped when actually Dr. Grewal had just finished with the procedure. Getting my sonogram done was also very comfortable. They had the room warm and I wasn't freezing while I was getting it done. The follow up appointment with the NP was also great. She explained the healing process and also provided tips and suggestions for traveling long distance. The office is really nice and clean. I would highly recommend this office and staff to everyone. read more
