I met Dr. Kimmel and his staff on an emergency basis. I am from another state and I had a vein rupture. I had been down this road before so I know what I am talking about. Dr. Kimmel and his staff are wonderful !!!!! I am so happy that a friend referred them to me. The whole experience was top shelf. He has a method that really works and the discomfort was minimal. If you need work go and see him you will not be disappointed.

I have been to many Vein Specialists and Dr. Kimmel and his staff must be commended for their understanding and patience. They all sincerely care and take the time to answer any questions. or concerns that you have. Dr. Kimmel and his staff make you feel very comfortable and calm during your procedure. The experience before, during and after the procedure is amazing.

My primary care giver suggested the Kimmel Institute. I am so glad he had Dr Kimmel as a reference. The staff is an amazing group of kind and intelligent women who made me most welcome and comfortable. I had one of the more complicated procedures and Dr Kimmel made it painless and easy. His attention to a surgical environment added to my confidence in him. I highly recommend The Kimmel Institute.

Dr. Kimmel and his staff have been great in helping me understand the vein procedure that I was about to undergo. During the procedure itself, I cannot say enough about how caring, patient and supportive Alice (Nurse Practitioner) was. I researched this procedure enough to say that the Kimmel Institute stands "Heads & Shoulders" above many others. Thank you again for being so caring, it is truly appreciated.
