I was very nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect and the thought of closing off veins can be a bit scary to think about. I still get nervous at times before my procedures but Dr. Taghipour and her team always make sure that I am comfortable and know what to expect every step of the way. Their knowledge and attention to detail is the reason why I trust everything they do and I continue to see results after each round of treatments. Not only are they good at what they do, but I love how they create a fun and positive environment. From the very beginning they have all been so kind and caring and they make a point to include me in their conversations as they're going through my vein procedures. This has not been an easy journey for me as I have dealt with leg infections and sometimes being hospitalized for the last five years but Dr. Taghipour and her team give me the hope and confidence I need to keep moving forward in my journey.

Dr. Taghipour and all of her staff are informative, punctual, and respectful. They also show that they really care about my quality of life and care. Dr. Taghipour and her staff were easy to communicate with, and it has been my genuine pleasure to have the entire staff provide my care. Dr. Taghipour has a very relaxed but professional bedside manor. The same can be said for her entire staff. Going forward, I will always use Dr. Taghipour as my vascular doctor. She has won my approval. I have told all my friends that if you ever need a vascular surgeon, Dr. Taghipour and The Vein Clinic are a great option. I would be comfortable with Dr. Taghipour treating any of my family members. For convenience, she has multiple locations. I used the main office located in town for my initial visit but had all my surgical procedures/care provided at her Waianai office. I highly recommend Dr. Taghipour and am blessed to have had such a thoughtful, considerant, compassionate doctor, and her staff of professionals provide my care. I feel she took the time to listen to my concerns and to addresses them in simple ways that were easy to understand. I highly recommend Dr. Taghipour and the Vein Clinic. If you are looking for quality health care, professionalism, timely, personalized care, Dr. Taghipour and her staff are a great option. Thank you, Dr. Taghipour, and your wonderful staff for such a great health care experience....Aloha....

I'm gonna stay on top of this from now on. Thank you

On Small Business Saturday, I met Nurse Joan. She was sweet and friendly, so…read more.. I allowed her to look at my legs...Haha! Yes, she was a stranger! And then, she even touched my legs! LOL! She was assessing me for varicose veins! I didn't think I had "diseased veins" because they weren't bulging out of my calves. However, using an ultrasound machine, the width of the veins can be measured. If the veins are too wide, the valves are unable to pump the blood back up to the heart from the lower extremities. I went to Nurse Joan's office in Waipahu. She works with Doctor Danelo Canete at the Hawaii Vein Center. It's a clean, tidy clinic with free parking in the front. I like the cute decor in the waiting area and the convenient water dispenser...Haha! The ultrasound technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He told me that the veins in question are superficial and other veins can be used in the future if needed for heart bypass. So, if we close off the diseased veins, other veins can take over...no problem. Hmmm...I'm still thinking about this procedure. If I do it now, I can prevent bulging veins, have less cramping, and feel more energetic. I didn't realize that my legs were tired due to varicose veins. I thought I was just walking and standing too much! LOL! I'll be back for further assessment!

The center is quiet and welcoming, with a smooth check-in process and a spacious, comfortable waiting room. The bathrooms are always clean, and the staff are consistently kind, friendly, and understanding. Even though I get nervous before each appointment, the staff's patience and compassion help put me at ease. After check-in, you're called back to change into a robe and store your belongings in a secure, key-locked locker. From there, you wait in a calming area decorated with beautiful paintings, a ceiling of white clouds and blue sky, and soft Hawaiian music playing in the background. There are two waiting rooms to choose from, both relaxing, with the cooking channel often playing on TV -- small touches that make the experience more comfortable. When it's time for the exam, the staff guide you through each step with professionalism and care. At the end, the physician reviews your images and shares the results with you right away, and you can also access your report conveniently through MyChart. Overall, Pali Momi Women's Center provides excellent care in a setting that feels supportive, clean, and calm. For something that can be a stressful part of life, they make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

I initially came to Dr. Chung's office to treat a few minor spider veins with laser. During my…read morevisit, we discussed sclerotherapy, and I was convinced to purchase a 3-treatment package after being assured it was safe, effective, and free of complications. The first session went smoothly and I had no issues. After the second treatment, however, I started to notice small red broken capillaries appearing. During my follow-up, I was told that everything looked "normal," and no concern or explanation was raised about these new veins. After the third session, which involved many injections, I was shocked to see a major outbreak of red broken capillaries across my legs. They looked significantly worse than before any treatment. I later learned on my own that this was matting -- something that was never mentioned or explained to me by Dr. Chung. When I brought it up at a follow-up visit, it was only then acknowledged. The before-and-after photos clearly showed how much worse my legs looked after sclerotherapy. Over the last three years, I've had multiple laser treatments and visits with vascular specialists trying to improve the matting, with little success. My legs still look damaged, and I no longer feel comfortable exposing them. I deeply regret proceeding with sclerotherapy that wasn't done under ultrasound guidance and with someone who didn't have extensive experience treating complications like matting. While I was given a partial refund, I continue to live with the long-term effects of this poor outcome. I hope others do their research carefully before committing to this type of treatment.

Dr. Yeo is very friendly, polite, professional and so funny, too! He was a pleasure to speak with and I was enjoying the good vibes! I was taken to my room and in there was a big monitor attached to a laptop. There was a Claire, friendly face on the other side who was asking and entering my information and she also shared as the doctor and I spoke she would be making notes. I love it! Dr. Yeo shared a lot of information from the basic of basics, to different scenarios and the what we are looking at and everything in between. I realize this is a specialty office and not everyone will find themselves here. However, if/when the need does arise, please come to Aloha Vein, you won't be disappointed. The office is very clean and I really liked the openness. Ample seating, water available... it's all good. Edited to add there is AMPLE free parking!

Then my cardiologist informed me that the last time I took tests was ten years ago, so I was due for them. Luckily, I don't have heart conditions that require immediate attention. But let's face it, I'm getting older, and knowing that I have a cardiologist and an internist on my health care team who are genuinely concerned with my health is reassuring. My cardiologist's office put in their test requisitions for me, and I contacted Queen's Heart to set up my appointments. Fortunately, I could schedule two out of the three tests for this month. The schedulers at Queen's Heart are friendly and very accommodating. Today, I met with a sonographer, Martin T, RDCS, who administered the ultrasonic electrocardiogram. I admit that I was nervous about taking this test because my blood pressure was elevated, but Martin put my nervousness at ease with his professionalism and excellent communication skills. He was reassuring that I didn't need to worry and follow his instructions so he could get the best images of my heart and surrounding areas for medical interpretation. Martin advised me to access the test results on my digital medical records, MyChart. From scheduling and reception to test administration and results interpretation at the Queen's Heart Institute, I received personable, professional, and highly skilled care. My cardiologist was also very quick in responding to his review of the test results. I heartily recommend the Queen's Heart Institute for cardiovascular medicine, surgical care, and diagnostic testing.
