The entire staff is friendly, professional, and caring. I recommended this practice to my friend and she had a great experience, as well!

I came to have my spider veins fixed which was explained during my visit. It was later diagnosed that I needed more vein work done. Everyone made me feel comfortable here and they were good at keeping my mind off things while the procedures were being done. I feel I was in good hands.

Dr. Afshar and his Team were amazing! I have been thinking about removing the etched map on my legs for years. After consulting several specialists and then heard a friend's testimony, I found myself in Dr. Afshar's office. Although my insurance did not have the best coverage for the procedures, it was well worth my money and time. The team simply held my hand every step of the way. Pain has gone and I am loving my legs again. Eternally grateful to Dr. Afshar and staff!

Wow. I was so impressed with my session with Renee. The procedure was well explained and I was able to clear away more spider veins than I thought possible in one session. I will definitely return yearly for touch ups, and look forward to wearing shorts on the boat for a long time!

Dr.Afshar is the best doctor in the world. i recommend him to anyone.

Practically over a decade of care in this office has kept me up, comfortable and active. Very appreciative and highly recommend that trust be put in Dr. Afshar and his wonderful staff.

Knowledgeable and patient. Entire staff is very professional and easy to trust

Very professional in every way from the staff to the wonderful Dr. Afshar.....friendly, compassionate, available with a very minimum of discomfort. I felt I was in good hands the entire time.....and I was. I could not be happier with my experience.

My experience with Dr.Afshar was great. He is friendly and down to earth. I would recommend him to other patients. My name is Wilbur Otano and thank you for everything

I have had appointments at all three locations of the Vein Institute. I have found all the staff to be very friendly,helpful and pleasant. All the procedures were explained to me and were almost pain free. I am very happy with the results.

Dr Afshar is patient and kind in explaining venous insufficiency and how the work done by his team sets me up to experience fewer problems in the future while also addressing my current symptoms. I feel very comfortable asking questions and always felt very well cared for.

Dr Afshar is an amazing professional, all his team as well excellent!! I felt very comfortable and confident during the consultation and also through the procedure that was fast and painless. I deeply recommend the Vein Institute of Connecticut!!

I was worried about my big and thick veins and now all my worries are gone because of Dr. Afshar's outstanding work.

The process was very easy, having both legs done and traveling to two of the clinics. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and explain the steps through the entire process. They ensure you are comfortable with the entire process from start to finish.

Very nice place, felt very comfortable, very well treated for all.
I will recommend to every one.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Afshar and his incredible staff. The warmth, genuine care and friendliness of each person I came in contact with put me at ease from my very first visit. The follow-up phone call, after each procedure, from Dr. Afshar himself was a perfect example of the of the genuine concern for the patient. I am also more than pleased with the results of the procedures themselves. I would, and will, recommend Dr. Afshar to anyone!

thank you for your assistance

The Vein Institute is a very professional environment. I received exceptional service from RN Renee. Her impressive expertise in the procedure will keep me coming back. I also appreciate the overall friendly, kind service and patience in answering all of my questions. Looking forward to fantastic results and feeling very confident wearing shorts, skirts, and mini dresses as the weather gets warmer. I will be back.

I recently had my varicose veins treated by Dr. Afshar, and it was such an easy procedure. He and all of the staff were so helpful, and explained every aspect of what would happen, that I was extremely relaxed throughout.

Thank you for helping to rid me of my leg pain!

Doctor Afshar is great and has a passion to care for his patience, he is very professional in greeting you explaining to you what your procedures will be and breaks it down for you to understanding and also follows up. After procedure is done he makes sure that one of his staff members calls to check up on you the following day to see how well you are doing and if there are any questions or concerns you may have. I have been satisfied this far.
