I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Lori. Before finding her, I had seen five other vein…read morespecialists over the years, all of whom told me my veins were too complicated. While they attempted a few treatments, I experienced little to no improvement. From the very beginning, Dr. Lori was different. She took the time, showed patience, and approached my case with both skill and determination. Over the course of many procedures, she has made a truly significant difference--not only in reducing my pain, but also in the appearance of my legs. She also treated the large, rope-like veins in my hands that had been very embarrassing for me, and the results have been remarkable. Currently, she is carefully treating areas affected by phlebitis and cellulitis with the utmost attention and compassion. I travel nearly an hour to see her, even though there are vein doctors much closer to where I live. She is absolutely worth the trip. At this point, I feel she has become more than just my doctor--she feels like a friend. Her combination of expertise, dedication, and genuine care is rare. I truly cannot praise her enough and would recommend her to anyone dealing with complex vein issues.

A couple of weeks ago, it must've bumped against something and the entire thing swelled up and a large blood clot formed. I was in a lot of pain and nervous about what to do next. I did some research and found the Vein Treatment Clinic. I was able to get a very quick appointment which is impressive given we're in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The staff took all the precautions to make sure safety protocols were followed and checking in was seamless. I met with one of the staff (Julianne) who was friendly, knowledgeable, and walked me through what to expect. Then I met with Dr. Juan Montoya who examined me. Both of them were total pros and really took their time to answer questions while giving me a broad overview of my problem and veins in general. I felt like I received an invaluable education. Going in, I was expecting the worst of course. Dr. Juan made me feel totally at ease and gave me assurances that he didn't want to do anything too overboard and that I'd be fine. I got a very honest and straight forward diagnosis. What more could you ask for? He gave me some tips on how to handle the injury and then they offered to do a broader Ultrasound to make sure things were ok. Truly grateful to have met with Dr. Juan, Julianne, and the team.
