They all speak Spanish and not just English. They respect my modesty and they are very good to me. Ramona is very friendly. The surgery- there was no pain and my legs look nice now and feel good. The doctor is very nice.

We have both been to Dr. Darnell or Kevin with perfect results. My husband thought he wanted pain relievers before the procedure but didn't use them or need them at all. This week he was done with his VNUS procedure in 30 minutes with no discomfort and a calm experience there with Dr. Darnell and his skilled assistant, Kevin. They are both the best you could ever imagine.

He provides thorough explanations. He takes plenty of time to explain the details of upcoming treatments which prove to be very accurate. Surgery was done skillfully with a very positive result.

Dr. Darnell is the kind to carefully consider your best interests before he acts. He is a good listener and an accomplished, skilled surgeon and phlebologist specialist as well. We are so glad to know him and have him as our doctor!
