Real Stories, Real Relief:What Patients Are Saying About Texas Vascular Institute

Veins, joint pain, uterine fibroids – whatever’s holding you back can weigh on you more than you realize.

If you’re dealing with one of these ongoing conditions, you’ve probably heard about a lot of different treatment options, maybe even confusing advice. But what really matters is what actually works – what has helped real people get their lives back.

At Texas Vascular Institute, we’ve seen patients walk back into their daily lives with less pain, more mobility, and a renewed sense of energy and confidence – all through minimally invasive treatments that don’t require major surgery or months of recovery.

These are their stories: patients who came to our clinic and left with less pain, more mobility, and freedom to get back to doing the things they love. Their experiences show what’s possible – and what might be next for you.

“HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION! We cannot recommend The Texas (Vascular) Institute highly enough! TVI treated our mom, and she has nothing but great things to say about them. The doctor and staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and the location is easy to reach and has a ton of parking, which makes it convenient to say the least! If we could give them six stars for our review, we would!” – John and Matt Y.

“Texas Vascular did a fantastic job from initial consultation through post-procedure follow up. Dr. Ahn did incredible work with each procedure and the entire staff is friendly, helpful and professional. The difference in how my legs felt was immediately noticeable – should have taken the initiative to have my veins treated years ago!” – Jennifer M.

For patients like Jennifer, the immediate relief felt after treatment is a revelation. Like many patients, she realized that waiting only prolonged her discomfort when effective solutions were available all along.

“…I am making a statement regarding the quality of care, and amazing staff supporting the services. My legs are healing and after treatment began, I am walking more, and blood flow is getting better! Thanks for the great work and for the wonders you do!!” – Eddie M.

Eddie’s story highlights one of the most rewarding aspects of vein treatment: improved mobility and quality of life. Being able to walk more comfortably can transform your daily routine.

“I just completed 4 RFA vein procedures and 3 varithena injections at TVI. I must say as a healthcare provider I was initially apprehensive, but received such amazing care! Dr. Elshatory was very skilled, professional, and the pain was minimal… I am very pleased with the results, mainly free of the leg pain and heaviness! Better looking legs is a plus! I highly recommend this practice!” – Laura Linton (Humphries)

Even healthcare providers like Laura recognize exceptional care when they experience it. Her testimonial speaks to both the clinical expertise and the compassionate approach that defines Texas Vascular Institute.

“By far the best experience I’ve had with finding a doctor to treat my vein concerns on my legs, everyone was extremely informative and empathetic about what I’m going through. The front desk was also very helpful with explaining all the insurance information and the whole process of repairing my legs and veins back to better health. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you all.” – Paul S.

Paul’s experience underscores something we hear often: the importance of feeling heard, understood, and supported throughout your treatment journey.

Bonus… His staff is wonderful, very, very friendly. They made me feel like I was important and in very good hands.” – Tammy W.

“I had GAE surgery done five weeks ago. Both of my knees were in such bad shape, I didn’t think I had a choice besides knee replacement.
