  • I came to OC Vein Care curious of what a vein treatment would be like and after completing the process on my left leg I’m not only shocked with my results but also so relieved that they could help me. I suffered for years with varicose veins blaming my career choice thinking there was no cure. But now I’m pain free and love my legs again! Thank you!

  • Had a great experience with OC VeinCare.  The staff is so friendly and is very flexible working with my schedule.  I had bad varicose veins that got worse after each of my pregnancies.  The aches and pain have gone away and the appearance is a vast improvement.   I was very pleased with the procedures, they were quick, minimal pain and quick recovery.
