Dr. Whiddon and his staff are amazing. From my initial consultation, through my varicose vein surgery on both legs and my follow-up visits – their hospitality and care made me feel comfortable and confident about the vascular surgery process. I knew at my consultation that I would receive quality care from the Dallas Vein Specialists team. Dr. Whiddon’s care goes beyond his high skill level and expertise in vein health and treatments – he escorted me to my car after a brief recovery period, opened the door for me and made sure I was safely behind the wheel – a very kind gesture that most doctors don’t perform as “part of the services.” His nurses and receptionists were also a pleasure to work with – extremely caring and attentive. The entire team worked seamlessly in prepping, cleaning, and bandaging my legs to prevent infection. I elected not to be sedated and the procedure was almost painless because of Dr. Whiddon’s attention to my tolerance for pain. I am healing nicely with… minimal bruising; I am thrilled with the results and couldn't be happier with my experience as a patient. My varicose veins are gone! If you are concerned about your vein health, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Whiddon!

It has been 14 months since Dr. Whiddon removed the varicose veins in my leg. There are absolutely no scars and my leg has never looked better. The staff is very supportive and the care is extremely professional. I highly recommend Dr. Whiddon.
