If you are having varicose vein issues, I highly recommend Dr. Favata at The Vein Institute of Phoenix. Dr. Favata is professional, compassionate and supportive. I have had an excellent experience throughout my treatments from the initial appointment. I have always been treated very well by Dr. Favata and her staff. The doctor was very thorough at explaining exactly what I needed done and why. I never felt "left in the dark" or confused about my treatment plan. I have had veins treated in the past at other offices, given the maximum treatments the insurance would cover in a short period of time, resulting in pain and bruising, only to have the veins open back up. I am confident that Dr. Favata will do a treatment and follow up assessment prior to additional work to avoid unnecessary treatments. She had my best interest as her top priority.
