I went to Dr. Markovitz at Virginia Vein Care with the expectation that my large rope like veins in my leg would be reduced in size and pain. They have actually disappeared and the pain has gone away entirely. An unexpected outcome has been the feeling that a 5 lb. ankle weight has been removed from my leg. Also, many people have commented on how much thinner my leg looks.

Prior to my first session with Dr. Markovitz, I had extremely severe vein problems that were both painful and unsightly. After only a few brief sessions, all of the pain and discomfort had vanished and my legs now look better than I could have possibly imagined. I am truly amazed at the results and I would recommend Dr. Markovitz to anyone considering these procedures. His office staff is friendly and professional, the procedures were painless, and I could not be happier with how my legs look and feel. My only regret is that I did not come to visit Dr. Markovitz sooner.

I had sclerotherapy several years before going to Virginia Vein Care. The results of my sclerotherapy at Virginia Vein Care were amazingly superior to previous results I had with sclerotherapy done elsewhere. I didn’t know that sclerotherapy could be this effective and improve my legs this much. My spider veins are completely gone. Their technique is great and I highly recommend their services.
