I had venous ablation done to treat my worst leg early last year. Being on my feet for a week showed me just how much the fluid retention in my formerly worst leg was reduced, so I got the other leg treated with a simpler new procedure now covered by insurance."- Deborah H.

The VA hospital had me on a 6month waiting list but I had only a week vacation to work with. I was referred to Dr. Nellestein by another physician in Kansas City and he quickly answered all my questions. Dr. Nellestein went above and beyond to make sure I was in and out within a week! I felt at home knowing he was a retired US Navy surgeon who has a real passion for veterans and our country. He definitely knows what he is doing. I highly recommend!"- Michael B.

"First visit with Dr. Nellestein and the best solid information that was everything I needed for making the decision on treating the spider veins and then was handed off to his RN nurse McKenzie and the male nurse that does the ultra sound to check the circulation to see if the valves are working well....and both of these employees were so caring, thorough, and very knowledgeable on all areas of the veins we were doing the ultra sound on to gather information. So the exam wasSo professionally done, on time appointment and solid information to further make a Decision to treat the spider veins. I have since my initial appointment met with Dr. Nellestein's RN nurse McKenzie to do the injections to treat theSpider veins and all done with expert care and comfortable procedure. Very pleased and certainly would highly continue to recommend Dr. Nellestein Vein Clinic to anyone needing varicose vein treatments. They are the best clinic and you will see for yourself on your first initial visit. Geri Ruch"- Geri T.


     

"I feel blessed I found Dr. Nellestein! I was told I needed to go to the emergency room to see if I had a blood clot in my leg. There fortunately was a flyer in my doctors waiting room for Dr. Nellestein Vein institute and I asked if I could get in to see him that day if I could go there as this is who I would need to help me anyway. I was blessed to be seen that day and my treatments have began. My first treatment was a ablation to my leg. I drove in and drove home that same with very little pain just really a slight discomfort which lessened as time passed and was nominal by the next day. I had been in touch with my cousin in Ohio who had just had used the vein stripping to correct his similar condition and he had to be driven home with pain pills for weeks and much pain. I did not require any pain medication and was working on my house that same day doing light work which did not violate what was suggested by Dr. Nellestein for the procedure I received. The staff was very professional and highly trained and gentle able to answer all questions I asked.I was treated in less than one hour and on my way home again. I just feel blessed to have seen that flier as I have been fighting my condition for more than a decade and just cannot believe the relief I am experiencing.Thank you for all you have done. I look forward for the additional treatments I will be getting to correct my long term problems I have. I never thought I could correct these problems especially without the extreme pain other treatments leave you with. We are very blessed to have this available here."- Kenneth M.
