Testimonials
"Dr. Powell,
Thank you so very much for treating the swelling, aching, and hundreds of spider veins on my legs. I have been in the food and beverage industry for the large part of thirty years and I have had to stand for hours and hours resulting in a great deal of wear and tear to my legs. Thanks to your treatments and education, I have a second chance at having attractive, painless legs.
Just recently, I had the opportunity to watch my son play football in the Rose Bowl. It was the first time since 1994 that I have been able to wear a short skirt and not be embarrassed about my swollen, spider vein covered legs. I was so happy and thankful to be able to wear comfortable, summer clothes when the temperature was in the 90’s. I really appreciate what you did to transform my ugly, tree trunk legs back to legs that I do not have to hide from everyone.
Thanks to you, I feel comfortable and confident wearing short pants and skirts and participating in summer activities—particularly beach fun. Thank you so much for your swelling, aching, and spider vein treatments and for taking the time to educate me on proper leg care."
"My main reason for going to the Vein Center of San Diego was to 'clean up' my face for my son's wedding. I had purple veins and red capillaries showing all over my face. Thanks to the friendly and professional staff and their knowledge and [high tech] equipment, I look years younger. I was skeptical at first; however, I was thrilled with the final results. I would recommend the Vein Center of San Diego to anyone that wants to get rid of their facial veins and capillaries. "
"A couple of years ago, I started having swelling behind my knees and around my ankles. All of a sudden, my shapely legs were swollen, uncomfortable, and covered with spider veins. Dr. Powell knew right away what was causing the problem and within a few weeks of having Dr. Powell perform a simple, completely painless procedure, my legs were greatly improved! His gentle and thorough approach to his patients is very refreshing and much appreciated."
"A few years ago I underwent vein surgery to correct ropey varicose veins. My recovery was long and uncomfortable and two years later the symptoms were worse. I am an esthetician and had recently joined the staff of the Vein Center of San Diego (The Cardiff Medical Spa). Dr. Powell examined my leg with Duplex Doppler and identified the cause of my vein problem. The vein that was supposed to have been removed during my previous surgery was still present and it was causing my discomfort. I had gone to a well respected vein surgeon and he had not fixed my problem--I was very disappointed.
Dr. Powell and his partner, Mary Roberts, an experienced operating room nurse, performed the Closure procedure in the office under local anesthesia. Dr. Powell took time to go over the procedure and answered all my questions. The procedure went very smoothly in a safe and comfortable environment. I actually was able to walk, go home, and work the day of the surgery. It was a completely better experience from my previous vein surgery. I highly recommend the Vein Center of San Diego to all my friends and clients with spider and varicose vein problems."
"Nineteen years ago, Connie had her left leg surgically stripped and said, “I was in the hospital for a week, wrapped and bandaged, then off my feet for another three weeks.” Connie had her right leg vein treated with the Closure procedure. “I experienced no pain afterwards. I found that incredible in comparison with my previous experience. I had no scarring. It’s incredible, absolutely incredible. I’m looking forward to wearing a skirt this summer.”
"Over the last three to four years Brad experienced discomfort in his left leg, including aching, swelling, itching, hair loss, skin discolorations and sores. Brad had the Closure procedure done in December. “I can say the procedure was nearly painless. I walked out of the office and went Christmas shopping the next day. Most dramatically, my lower leg stopped swelling even after a full day on my feet. Now about twelve weeks later, the skin discolorations and vein protrusions have almost vanished and the hair has grown back where before there was none. I can hardly tell that I ever had a vein problem.”
