I went to Dr. Fattahi and his team several times from early Oct-Dec 2025. My focus was spider veins…read moreand unsightly larger veins behind my knees. I was very impressed with the quality of care that I received - starting with a thorough ultrasound and explanation of feeder veins that first needed to be addressed. Dr. Fattahi and his entire team are patient, and very calming - which is a huge benefit during this type of procedure. They also explain what's happening and what to expect, which I really appreciated. In addition, the cost structure is clear - which was NOT the case when I was first exploring other doctors. I definitely recommend Dr. Fattahi and his team and I won't hesitate to return if/when necessary down the road.

Exceptional Care for Athletes and Young Professionals…read more I cannot recommend Dr. Khalil Fattahi and the team at Vein Specialty Medical Clinic highly enough. After years of dealing with worsening vein issues, I finally found a medical team that took my concerns seriously. Why this clinic stands out: As a former athlete, I was frequently told by other doctors that because I was "young and healthy," my vein issues weren't a big deal. Dr. Fattahi was the first to actually validate my concerns rather than rushing me out the door. Instead of just looking at the surface, Dr. Fattahi explained the underlying issues causing the varicose veins. He used clear visuals and data to show me how the condition could progress if left untreated. The focus wasn't just on aesthetics (though the results are incredible); it was about fixing the functional problem. He broke down the entire process so I felt confident and informed every step of the way. The Results: I've attached my before and after photos (after photos are in the blue shorts). The physical transformation is obvious, but the relief from the discomfort and the peace of mind knowing the problem is solved is the real win. If you are experiencing any varicose vein issues--especially if you've felt dismissed by other providers because of your age or fitness level--do yourself a favor and book a consultation here.

I recently had treatment with Dr. Meg O'Hare at Elite Veins in Walnut Creek, and I couldn't be more…read morepleased with my experience. Dr. O'Hare is incredibly warm and patient. She is very detail-oriented and takes the time to explain everything clearly. From the first appointment through the entire process, she truly listened to my concerns and offered reassurance every step of the way. Her calm and positive attitude made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment. The staff is also wonderful--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The facility itself is clean, modern, and beautiful, which adds to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. O'Hare and Elite Veins to anyone considering vein treatment. You will be in excellent hands.

Meg is amazing--I can't say enough good things about her! My first visit to Elite Vein Specialists…read morewas with the former owner, and at that time I decided to wait before having my procedures. When I was ready to return, Meg had become the new owner, and I was completely shocked (in the best way) by how she transformed the office. It feels so inviting now, the staff is incredibly friendly, and Meg herself is warm, personable, and truly caring. I've been to her office several times this year, and every visit I feel like I'm in the best hands. I never expected to have so much confidence after the procedures--especially with my legs, which I had hidden for so long. Thanks to Meg, I feel hopeful and comfortable, and I know I'll continue to return to this amazing practice.

I had thorough testing with results explained by knowledgeable and kind PAs. I had bilateral endovenous ablation for treatment of varicose veins which was performed by Dr. Srivatsa efficiently, skillfully and almost painless; a mild bit of stinging but easily tolerated. This certainly beats having surgical removal of varicose veins. I highly recommend Heart, Artery and Vein.

Dr. Gaede has been my Vascular Specialist for over eight years. He is is extremely knowledgeable…read moreabout his field. More importantly, as the health insurance industry has changed, he has adapted for his patients to ensure that the procedures he does are covered. He does that by writing excellent reports explaining the need of the Vascular work that he performs. Insurance companies would love not to pay if they perceive that the Vascular work was cosmetic in nature. In short, Dr. Gaede has been a great advocate for my health care, resolving issues in both of my legs.

Prior to finding the VIP Vein Center, I had visited a general surgeon for an unsightly, annoying,…read morebulging vein on my calf (no pain). They performed an ultrasound, which took over 45 minutes, on one leg only, while lying down (more on that later). I *almost* had a procedure of which I honestly had no idea what they were going to do. I never went through with it; it was a gut feeling. I continued to wear compression stockings, which made my legs feel great, while berating myself for what I thought was simply a cosmetic issue. A year later, still uncomfortable with this vein (I cycle and run and it would bulge further; plus, how does one even consider compression stocking while cycling and running?), I searched and found VIP. Contrast their ultrasound: less than 15 minutes?, both legs, while standing up. THAT made much more sense. Their tech was mighty efficient. When I mentioned how good my legs felt with the compression stockings, Dr. Tandon brightened up. Apparently, I had been dealing with fatigue for years, without ever attributing it to my poor vein circulation. In fact, I attributed it to aging. Takeaway lesson: don't make the same assumption (I am 65). I have been so happy with both legs having had radio frequency ablation, and at the end of all that, removing that unsightly vein with AP and Sclero. It's almost as if that wasn't even the big issue after all. I can attest to how great I feel--able to run, cycle, hike, and more, with no fatigue. Dr. Tandon is kind, intelligent, answers questions, and is very, very skilled in his work. The office staff is friendly and cheerful. It is well worth your time considering VIP Vein Clinic. Your body will thank you for it!

I went here for laser hair removal a couple years ago and bought 5 treatments for my lower legs and…read morebrazilian area. I endured the pain telling myself each time that it was worth it to not have to wax again. Unfortunately, that is not the case and I still have to get waxed monthly and shave my legs every day if I want them to be smooth. I would say I saw maybe a 40% reduction in my hair thickness and amount. I spoke with Kathy about how I was not satisfied with my results and she offered to discount any additional treatments by 25%. I think I did a sixth treatment (brazilian) but it didn't make much of a difference and in total I had already spent over $1500 so I didn't want to continue spending my money here any more. I understand that laser hair removal is not total hair removal, nor is it permanent, but I was really expecting to see a more significant reduction in my hair growth considering the price I paid for the services. Kathy and Lori (no longer there) were the two RNs that did my services and both were very friendly so I won't ding them for that aspect.

I saw Dr. Malvehy for varicose vein treatment in my legs at his Sacramento location. He is…read morecertainly the rock star of this treatment! He say he has literally done thousands and it shows. He plays music and tells you what is is doing while he is working, and the procedure itself was much less uncomfortable than I imagined (and took less than 40 minutes). He explained the insurance coverage at my consult visit, and asked if I had any questions. I appreciate the lack of down time and being able to drive oneself to and from appointments. I have not worn shorts in years, but have already purchased some for this summer. If you are tired of the look and pain of varicose veins, don't wait - contact NorCal Vein now!

I was deeply disappointed by my recent experience with Doctor Malvehy. The interaction lacked the…read moreprofessionalism, attentiveness, and compassion one should reasonably expect in a medical setting. Upon entering the exam room, the doctor's verbal and physical mannerisms felt brash and uncaring. I showed him the areas requiring treatment, yet he insisted that I personally mark all of the treatment areas myself, stating, "I don't care how your legs look," before leaving the room. Regardless of intent, such a statement was inappropriate and lacked the empathy and professionalism patients deserve from a physician. When I calmly expressed that his manner seemed unkind, rather than addressing the concern or offering clarification, he cancelled my appointment altogether. Personal frustrations, if present, should never influence patient care or the overall clinical experience. Unfortunately, this visit fell far below the standard of professionalism and bedside manner I had anticipated and previously experienced.

During this visit, he commenced to belittle me because I would take a shot because of affordability. He literally insisted that I explain how it was that I couldn't afford the shot even snickering at me in front of the intern. He has no bed side manner. Currently he's holding up a colonoscopy because I didn't get a stress test 2 years ago which was between 2 spinal surgeries. Doesn't care to hear what the patient has to say. I've complained in the past but no apologies. I have never had less than 45min wait in exam room after appointment.

Really poor excuse in my book for a doctor! So they had to see what partner was going to take care of the procedure pushed my dad back by 6 hours and 30 minutes put Saint Joseph's staff through hell but this guy is sitting in first class enjoying his flight!
