Patient Testimonials
Varicose Vein Treatment
Dr. Whiddon,
I am writing to let you know of how thankful and blessed I feel to have found you. As you know, I was born with a rare degenerative syndrome called Klippel-Tranuanay. I had suffered extreme pain and discomfort throughout my childhood due to the countless number of varicose veins in my leg. I had veins from my thigh all the way to my toes. I had seen other doctors and was told there was no cure or treatment available. I was told to wear support stockings and keep my leg elevated.
I am now 32, and was fortunte to have found you. You have taken me on as a challenge. I began a little hesitant, but through each session I saw results. My leg feels less painful, nevertheless, looks better. I have been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel through your vision, strength, and best of all your skills. I appreciate your caring staff. The're very knowledgable and kind. I realize treatment is not over but I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude. I will never forget everything you have done for me. If you continue to work with each patient with the care you have given me, God will bless you in return. I thank you for you have changed my life!

"… My "wow" moment was while I was out shopping…"
Dear Dr. Whiddon,
I was in recently for my first sclerotherapy procedure for spider veins. It has been almost two weeks and already I can see such a change! Many spider veins are gone and those that aren't have faded or are fading quite a lot.
My "wow" moment was while I was out shopping. I was trying on clothes and noticed how much better my legs looked in the fitting room mirrors. Amazing!
I have been bothered by spider veins for 10 years. I wish I had done this sooner!
I have raved about your office, your staff (your nurse was so nice!), and most of all, your expertise. My OB/Gyn has asked if she could refer patients to you, as she's seen many women with the same condition.
If needed, I will make an appointment for a touch-up session.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
J. G.
"… vein problems since I had open heart surgery…"
My legs have been like almost new legs since Dr. Whiddon worked on them. Having had vein problems since I had open heart surgery with valve replacement and several bypasses, it was a huge relief to be referred to someone with his expertise, who could make me feel almost like a new person. At age 86, for that I am VERY grateful.

"… unsightly veins…"
Dr. Whiddon,
I just wanted to take a moment to say, “Thank You” to you and your staff. The professionalism in your office is outstanding! The unsightly veins around my eyes have bothered me for years and I have been very apprehensive about having anything done to correct them. Your office made me feel very welcome and comfortable about taking steps toward removing the veins that bothered me so. You assured me that the process was simple with very little pain; and it was!!! The results were just what I had hoped for. Now I’m upset I waited so long to visit your office.
Thanks Again,
S.C.
"… the procedure was painless…"
I went to another North Texas vein specialist before going to Dr. Whiddon at Dallas Vein Specialist, it was a horrible experience! The location was bad, the facility was unwelcoming and uncomfortable and the diagnostic equipment seemed to be outdated. Not only that, but it took months to get in for an appointment. They would not diagnose both legs on the same day, nor were they interested in treating both legs within the same week. My athleticism is my career and for me to take two weeks off, is almost impossible, and the pain I was experiencing dictated I could no longer put off the surgery.
After researching different treatments, reading articles and doing web searches, I found an article written by Dr. Whiddon. I then, researched Dr Whiddon and found out he performed the procedure I thought best suited me.
I got in at Dallas Vein Specialist right away. They had the insurance approved before my appointment. The location is very convenient and easy to find. The office is very clean and comfortable and I felt very relaxed. When I left my first appointment I had both legs diagnosed in 2/3rds the time it took the other guy to do one. Dr Whiddon also said, “No problem doing both legs in the same week”. The procedure was painless; I drove home from the second surgery. I was back on the bike the next week; I progressed slowly and carefully and was up to 6 hours on the bike within 4 weeks. I had my first race 6 weeks post op. I managed a third place finish with a mechanical (that cost me second place and maybe first). Thank you Dr. Whiddon, I appreciate you and your staff, you were a delight from start to finish. I’ll keep you posted on my overall series finish.

"… first rate facility…"
Dr. Whiddon's staff and facility were first rate. The care I received was superb and best of all, painless. I was treated with kindness and felt at ease throughout my treatment. I was impressed that the procedure could be handled in his office in a relaxed atmosphere without unnecessary drugs. His staff was highly trained and I want to send a special thanks to Lauren and Lakeita. I can't thank everyone enough.
A.S.C.
