The clinic is exceptionally efficient. Dr. Heeringa is a highly skilled vein specialist and is straightforward in communication and treatment. He provides clear guidance to manage specific conditions in both near term and long term timeframes. I highly recommend his practice.

My mom goes here. Her dementia recently took a turn for the worse and she worries about medical issues, so I asked the doctor to be especially sensitive to this and reassure her as she got her veins treated. He did a great job with that (and with the procedure); too often docs are really dismissive or short and make her anxiety/paranoia so much worse. Thankfully, he was the opposite. Thank you for making both her and my day much better — from a very tired daughter.

I usually don't write reviews. Due to my experience at Northern Michigan vein specialist. I felt compelled to write one. I have lived many years with pain in my legs. Over the years the pain was only getting worse. I knew something had to be done. So I began my search for a vein specialist. I wanted a alternative to vein stripping. My search brought me to Dr. Heeringa at Northern Michigan vein specialist. I would like to begin by saying, how refreshing it was to experience on time appointments. The staff at Northern Michigan vein specialist are wonderful! The staff is friendly, caring and knowledgeable. My first procedure, I was nervous. Let me say Dr. Heeringa is amazing! Putting my mind quickly at ease. Dr. Heeringa talked me through the entire process. I honestly don't know why I waited so long to get my veins taken care of. For myself I noticed results within a week. I am riding a bike again for the first time in six years. I have never felt better. The results are incredible. Thank you Dr. Heeringa for giving me back my pain free active lifestyle. The best call I ever made. So please don't hesitate to call Dr. Heeringa at Northern Michigan vein specialist today. You won't regret it. And start living your best life.
