Overall I find my visit with the vein clinic in Huntington beach to be unsatisfactory. While the location itself is in a nice area, the staff are very friendly and very communicative, and I was seeing on time for every visit, the results were negligible. The reasons for my visit were not addressed or improved in any way and in certain aspects I'm actually worse off than when I started. I have more visible veins on the front of my leg after going through several treatments. I brought up my concerns to the physician and the matter in which it was addressed was distasteful. Mentioning that I have fair skin and therefore more visible veins is a given and is not a reason for not seeing results. In fact being fair would be the best baseline to showcase that visible veins are indeed improving. I wish I had a better experience and I wish that after bringing up my concerns, they were addressed immediately rather than being disregarded. I went through 6-8 sessions of treatments, no improvement

It was very professional both doctor and the staff. Procedures was well explained and the post op was explained too. Overall it was an excellent to have a medical procedure with the professionalism that they showed. Highly recommended to everyone who's going to have a vein treatment like I did.
thank you so much,

I highly recommend Dr. Farsheed Etaee for anyone considering vein treatment. I underwent several vein ablation treatments. I am a 47-year-old male in good physical condition, and I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the procedure was. Contrary to any anxieties I had, it was fairly painless, with only minimal pinches and discomfort during the process. I was in and out in 15 minutes. The recovery process was remarkably easy. I was able to conduct light workouts and easy jogging the very next day. Each procedure and vein were slightly different, with some ablations experiencing zero pain or discomfort that same day and following days. The post-treatment compression stockings were a minor adjustment, but well worth the final outcome. While I am cosmetically very happy with how the varicose veins have disappeared, the most unexpected and significant result was the immediate relief of heaviness and swelling in my legs.
Thank you, Dr. Etaee and team, for a life-changing experience!
