Testimonials

I am just so happy with my results.  If you look at the leg, the big bulging veins have disappeared and I feel so much better about how I look in shorts.  I'm so happy I can now wear shorts!

My husband is a physician at Cedars Sinai and suggested that I go have my veins surgically removed.  That was the best decision ever.  I feel like my legs are lighter and less fatigued at the end of the day.  My bulging veins are gone.  I would recommend the clinic.

When my dermatologist saw my legs, she said that I had the beginning of a vein ulcer.  My legs were brown and discolored near the ankle and I was having swelling that could not be controlled with vein stockings.  Dr. K knew exactly how to approach the problem and gave me solace in terms of my anxiety.  Now my legs feel better and the area has improved so much its hard to believe.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.  My spider veins are history!

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I was with the work of Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.  He is a likeable physician and surgeon who made my whole treatment as enjoyable as possible.  I suffered from varicose veins all my life and that was likely due to family history.  Dr. K cannot change my genetic makeup but he sure did improve the look and feel of my legs.

Finding a trustworthy and skilled physician in any specialty is important, but perhaps none is as crucial as a plastic surgeon.  More than 10 years ago, I had such an incredibly negative experience with vein stripping of my left leg that I lived with varicose veins in my right leg rather than risk another nightmare.  Then I found the surgeon at Santa Monica Vein Center.  His caring nature along with charm and great sense of humor won me over.  His intelligence, artistry, and skill proved itself with the with the work he did on my right leg.  He treats varicose veins with the latest technology - using the Closure procedure, which includes radiofrequency and sonar.  I'm very pleased with the results.  Additionally, I was seeking a solution to the dark spots on my face.  The doctor steered me to the Obagi creams, and the dark spots have lightened dramatically and are almost gone.  I highly recommend the Santa Monica Vein Center.  He's a good person and a good doctor.
