I have been to many Doctors over the years for schlerotherapy. Several did a few schlerotherapy treatments, but I really didn't see results. Dr Fort took the time to thoroughly explain what he does and then he answered any questions I had. I went for months and had pretty good results. Be patient because results dont happen…

“Finally a Dr that really knows how to eliminate spider veins”
I have been to many Doctors over the years for schlerotherapy. Several did a few schlerotherapy treatments, but I really didn't see results. Dr Fort took the time to thoroughly explain what he does and then he answered any questions I had. I went for months and had pretty good results. Be patient because results dont happen overnight. But they will happen. Do this for yourself, you will be happy you did. He and his staff are compassionate and kind. I definitely recommend Dr Fort!

“Wonderful Dr. and staff!!”
Excellent care by both Dr. Fort and his staff. He and his assistant Lisa spend time to explain procedures and listen to any questions or concerns. Modern office and state of the art equipment.

“Easy and worthwhile”
Dr Fort and the staff were friendly and efficient. I had been thinking about getting this done but was pretty nervous. He explained the procedures and was very good about follow ups, good service for the visits and relatively painless procedure.
