Some Facts About Phlebology:
Varicose and unsightly veins are amongst most common medical and aesthetic problems in medicine. In the United States about 20% of adults suffer from varicose veins. Modern treatment of varicose and unsightly veins has improved tremendously during the past decade. However, these breakthroughs have gone unnoticed by the medical community at large, due to the fact there are only very few competent physicians in this field and most physicians and medical schools have shown little interest in treating this common problem. Modern
treatment of varicose veins is probably the most ignored subject in medicine
by medical schools and medical communities. |

|
The number of teaching physicians in residency and fellowship programs who themselves are competent in modern phlebology is far less than the need. Different medical disciplines and specialties, such as dermatology and surgery and vascular surgery, have only touched upon small aspects of phlebology and usually in a very broken and deficient manner.

Dr. Fattahi is an excellent instructor who enjoys
teaching. What I appreciated most about Dr. Fattahi was his intellectual
honesty in dealing with vein diseases and treatment in the face of so
much hype nowadays. I recommend Dr Fattahi highly. Dear Dr. Fattahi: Nang Wong MD, Surgeon. Thank you again for providing a wonderful learning experience for me and my staff. We greatly appreciated the warm welcoming atmosphere of your office and staff. The step by step discussion and demonstrations that you provided will be immensely helpful for us. Bob Peppercorn, MD |
I am a vascular surgeon and have been thinking about building a vein practice for several months. I recently spent two days with Dr. Khalil Fattahi at his vein specialty clinic in Los Gatos. I was impressed with the excellent results in his patients who have a variety of complex and challenging problems, and with the universal satisfaction of his patients. I was able to observe the newest advances in sclerotherapy and its application to a wide spectrum of venous disease- including foam sclerotherapy as well as endovenous laser ablation of the Greater SaphenousVein. Importantly, Dr. Fattahi uses duplex ultrasonagraphy in the evaluation and during treatment of his patients. This seems to be an invaluable technique which undoubtably contributes to his excellent results. I am very excited to bring these techniques to our community. Shawn Skillern, MD Vascular & Endovascular Surgery Ventura, California |
Dear Dr. Fattahi: Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to spend a couple of days with you in your Vein Speciality Clinic. Throughout my 18 years of private practice in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery I have been to numerous seminars and forums for continuing medical education. The time I spent in Los Gatos was one of the most worthwhile and informative, giving me the experience to expand the scope of our services. Having the opportunity to see your results first hand, especially after viewing the before photos, was most impressive. It was extremely helpful to observe the complete spectrum of problems and to see patients from their initial evaluation and diagnostic studies through an entire course of therapeutic modalities for venous disease including sclerotherapy and endovenous laser. Having seen you at work gives me the comfort and confidence to further pursue treatment of even complex venous disorders. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Respectfully, Dominic J. Tedesco, MD Cardiovascular & thorasic surgeon |
Dear Dr. Fattahi, It was a pleasure visiting your office and getting training from you. Iwant to thank you for your personal attention and excellent training skills. I have been practicing phlebology for several years. I strive to improve my skills by continued medical education. I found my time in with you to be very beneficial and would recommend you to anyone experienced orjust getting into the field of phlebology. They will benefit from your skills. Ehsan Hadjbian, M.D.
