Does It Hurt?

Since the procedure uses a very fine probe-like insulated needle that delivers heat that is inserted into the spider vein, there can be a stinging or pinching sensation.

You will also receive a small ice pack to apply during the procedure.

Taking the first step is always the hardest. After meeting the staff and doc, all of my anxiety went away. Everyone is so welcoming and reassuring. They said multiple times that I am in good hands and they can help me. 3 months after my procedure, my legs look unrecognizable!!! I no longer have the constant pain and pressure from my vericose veins , not to mention the sight of my legs is a complete 180 from before! I recommend this office with full certainty that your vein issues will be resolved!!

Wonderful Doctor and office staff! I drove from down state to utilize his expertise and so glad that I did so! Results were excellent! I was so impressed with how all procedures were explained in detail as well as what to expect after—this eased any anxiety about having it done. I wish I would have done it sooner! This is the place to go for your vein procedures!!

Everyone in the office is very professional and really nice. Dr. Heeringa went into great detail about the procedures he was performing and what to expect before, during, and after treatment so there were no surprises. Within 2 weeks after the first procedure, I had already noticed a difference and my leg felt less "tired" and "heavy" than it had in a very long time. I would highly recommend Dr. Heeringa and would feel comfortable returning to his office if needed in the future.

Definitely a five star practice ! Dr. Heeringa and staff are at the top of their field . When my primary doctor talked to me about blood clot concerns in my legs , it was clear I needed to do something. Dr. Heeringa and staff talked to me in detail and showed me the issues with the Veins in my legs . The Doctor then proceeded to fix the problem. I would strongly recommend Northern Michigan Vein Specialists.

Dr. Heeringa and his staff are total professionals. I had several issues with my legs and they quickly assessed what needed to be done with care and expediency. I highly recommend this practice for any Venous conditions you may be experiencing. I had previous procedures done several years ago at a highly acclaimed Metro Detroit Hospital and this experience and result far exceeded the former. Thank you Dr. Heeringa.
