Elite Vein Specialists

I did not have a lot of spider veins but prefer to be proactive and so I searched around and Dr Hyde seemed the most experienced - the only other one or two people I considered had retired a few months ago. I gathered you needed a doctor who needed to make sure you didn't have any underlying vascular issues and also a doctor who understood feeder veins (I think That's what they're called) to know the best course and application of treatment. Anyway, I was explained in great detail what to expect, and one was to expect around an 80% improvement in my legs - that's about exactly the results I could see (you must wait a few months to see results) and I'm very happy.

The sides of my thighs are almost totally clear and the bigger green vein I had behind the back of my leg is almost totally gone (if not totally gone - still some bruising). Dr Hyde is very efficient and punctual but I wasn't hassled when I came 5min late or so thankfully, since it's just over an hour drive for me. I also found Dr Hyde very kind with good bedside manner but also very efficient with his time, so appointments were brisk in a good way. I would definitely come again - but hopefully not too soon :P

So far so good. I called around a few vein specialists via yelp and Dianna was by far the friendliness and most informative receptionist. She thoroughly explained the process and made certain I was comfortable and clear on what to expect. I've had spider veins since high-school and really looking forward to getting rid of them. Since they didn't worsen with pregnancy im optimistic about the results. I'll try and get a good before/after photo once completed.

Dr. Hyde and his team are talented and precise. I had several procedures performed with them at very reasonable prices and several follow-up visits, on the house, for lingering issues. Dr Hyde takes pride in his work. He knows what he's doing and it's clear that his goal is to help his patients.

I went to this place and I was somewhat happy with the service. I never expected for the doctor to be RUDE and compare me to a child. I had missed an appointment (not intentionally) and apologized. As I checked out with the receptionist for my last visit (procedure) the receptionist told me, "okay your balance is $100. I asked what this was for and she replied, it is for the missed appointment".

I asked her if the office would consider waiving it since I had only missed one appointment and don't make a habit of missing appointments. The doctor came out of the exam room and said to me directly, "will you be paying cash, credit. Etc. I replied, sorry I didn't bring my purse with me in which he replied in the presence of his receptionist/assistant, " I can't believe you Are behaving like a child", " who doesn't bring their purse or wallet with them", that is childish behavior.

I NEVER expected to be treated like this but I do recall reading another woman (potential patient) complaining about the similar demeanor that the doctor had expressed towards her. I realize NOW, a bit late that her post on YELP was a (RED FLAG) since i have NEVER been treated like this by any profesional medical doctor / Surgeon I was dumbfounded and failed to respond to his insult and defamatory remarks against me.

For this reason I am writing this experience of mine to alert other "potential patients" to be aware of his rude and unprofessional behavior. Now there does exists "Ethics for doctors of medicine and surgeons. Perhaps he needs to take an entire course in profesional ethics towards patients. If I had known I was going to be treated this way with disrespect I would have gone to another vein specialist as I do have a choice through my insurance and there are plenty of doctors worthy of patients and the business they bring to any medical practice. I hope that the doctor is NOT singling out women to men by his unprofessional demeanor (talking down to women as opposed to men as he sees both male and female patients).

Dr. Hyde and his staff are great! I'm a 57 year old male who leads an active lifestyle and had been bothered by a large varicose vein and some spider veins on my legs. I was a little nervous at first but Dr. Hyde's combination of expertise, experience, education and excellent ratings put me at ease. My thermal ablation procedure went great.

Pain and discomfort for me was minimal, a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am very pleased with my results and plan on returning to have Dr. Hyde to do some cosmetic work, spider veins, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Hyde if you need vein treatment.

Dr. Hyde is very capable, smart and outstanding with his work! He worked on my leg veins mid of last year and followed through until almost end of last year. He did a thermal ablation and sclerotherapy on me. I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I would go there again if I will need more treatments in the future. Thank you Dr. Hyde and to your staff.

Dr. Hyde is a wonderful physician. He provided a thorough evaluation and consultation for my chronic leg swelling. He discussed his findings in detail and answered all my questions patiently. His recommendation for compression stockings was right on- I have been using them for about a month with improvement in my chronic swelling. I am grateful for his knowledgable care.

Couldn't believe the transformation from start to finish. My legs look healthier and I feel better from the improvement in my circulation. I sincerely appreciated the staff and Dr. Hyde's transparency, education towards the process, and professionalism. Thank you and very happy with my new look!

I had spider veins on my legs, heavy in the calf area where I cross my legs. They had gotten worse over the years and I rarely exposed my legs. I came to Dr. Hyde for treatment and he (and his team) were a class act. The procedure was a non event - quick and painless! The results were amazing. I have no more vein clusters and can finally wear dresses/skirts this summer! I could not be happier and highly recommend Dr. Hyde!

Dr. Hyde and his staff are really good! He did a great job treating my varicose veins. My experience was great and I am very happy with my results. If I ever need to go back for more work I wouldn't consider going anywhere else! Thank you dr. Hyde!

I have been a nurse for 23 years and I am on my feet a lot. I have had terrible spider veins since I was 18 years old ( now 47). I have had many many treatments on those veins so I feel somewhat experienced when it comes to the subject. I did my research on Dr Hyde before making my appt for a consult. Not only is he an expert in his specialty but he has treated countless patients.

Of course the more patients you treat, the more reviews you will receive both positive and negative. I must say that I am glad I read past the negative reviews ( as the few that were posted seemed like women who had issues in life in general). I was very impressed by Dr Hyde's professionalism and knowledge during my first visit. I decided to go ahead and book my first treatment which was exactly what I had expected. Dr Hyde was friendly, professional and most of all did a fabulous job injecting my veins.

I hardly felt a thing! I'm going back for a second treatment ( because I have so many!) and look forward to wearing shorts this summer. By the way. I was 15 minutes late for my first appointment (which I hate doing!) because of an accident on the freeway. Dr Hyde never said a word and roomed me right away. He was nothing but polite to me. When people are late they are wasting not only the Drs time but other patients who have scheduled appointments as well as the office staff

Yesterday I went in for what I thought would be a treatment for my spider veins. I had gotten a Groupon. I have had sclerotherapy before and thought I would know what to expect. When I got to the parking lot, I noticed I did not have my purse and I took a minute to look all the way through my car to make sure it wasn't there. Realizing I had probably dropped it on the street and my credit cards and cash were sitting out there for the taking along with my purse was upsetting, but I decided to go up for my appointment anyway.

I was a few minutes late and on the way up there, the doctor himself called me and chastised me for being late. I was once a medical professional myself and would never have talked to anyone the way he talked to me on the phone, so I was a bit shaken up. When I came up he continued to lecture me about how they need to make sure their patients are seen on time and that my being late could affect that.on & on nagging even after I told him I lost my purse and I was quite upset by it and I also apologized for being late.

Once I got in the room with him things did not get any better. I have had hypothermia and I have cold injuries so I asked for the room to be no lower than 65°. He asked me how the temperature was in a very sarcastic tone and later started interrogating me about my injuries, not taking into consideration that he has already scolded me for one thing and now he is basically only evaluating his liability and not even acting like a decent human being, let alone a health provider. It's not fun to have cold injuries and it's really unfortunate that he could not stop navel gazing long enough to realize that I might be traumatized both by losing my purse and now having to recount why I have cold injuries (almost died in the ocean).

Almost the entire time he spoke to me he had his back turned to me and spoke down to me as if I were ignorant and beneath him. He almost never made eye contact with me and the look on his face was of disgust. I do believe that he has a lot of knowledge on the subject of veins and I actually did learn a couple of things but I have had enough of white men who have a lot of money talking to me like I am a piece of crap to last me a lifetime.

If I had a penny for each time I had an experience with a white male "medical professional" who talked down to me or belittled me I would be a very rich woman. As a retired medical professional, it saddens me how far some medical folks have come from taking the Hippocratic oath and actually practicing healing medicine rather than actually harming a patient.

I was not physically harmed but I was definitely emotionally slapped around and degraded. The beautiful thing is that when I came home, my purse ironically was still there and it had all of my stuff still in it. At least someone was watching out for me but it wasn't doctor Hyde.

Wonderful support team and outstanding care from Dr Hyde. He is very thorough and generous- not to mention a great sense of humor. Highly recommended!

I had an appointment for treatment today with dr. Hyde and I couldn't be happier! I am extremely afraid of needles and he made my experience so great. I would highly recommend this place! If I could give 10 stars I would

About a year before seeing Dr. Hyde, I developed a varicose vein on the inside of my lower leg. With exercise, the bulging increased and I was self conscious. I stopped wearing shorts which made running and playing beach volleyball in the summer rather uncomfortable. I'm in the healthcare field and knew the bulging would not go away; the "one-way" valves in the veins were compromised and were no longer preventing back-flow.

I felt anxious about the vein getting worse. I'm so glad I found and sought treatment with Dr. Hyde. He did a great job educating me on my issue, the procedure and what to expect. I remember being very nervous (like holy cow, what am I doing?) about having the endovenous treatment, but during the procedure Dr. Hyde was very attentive and communicated every step of the way putting me at ease.

Although Dr. Hyde can be a fast talker, he is direct and happy to answer all questions. He cares about the quality of his treatment and wants his patients to be happy with their outcome! Which brings me to the outcome. Awesome! It's been 6 months and I'm wearing shorts with confidence:) There's been an immense sense of relief with results, I didn't recognize how much the vein was stressing me out. Thank you Dr. Hyde!

Quintessential is the perfect description for Dr. Hyde, very honest, friendly and personable a total package. And before and after pictures are amazing, Dr. Hyde treated my veins and they look fantastic. I have been to eight vein doctor's in Sacramento and not one of them excels in veins like Dr. Hyde, I'm over the moon, thank you Dr. Hyde for the awesome results.

I'm done with doctor's in Sacramento, East Bay has the best! Update on 1/13/18 doctor treated the veins on my hands, if there is a sure sign of a person's age it's their hands, thank you again Dr. Hyde, you sure do deliver :)) the best procedure for hand rejuvenation is to have the veins injected, not using a filler, in my honest opinion the money spent on the temporary use of radiesse is for the birds :D

My wife has been seeing Dr. Hyde for about six months now. Unfortunately, at her age (50), she's had to revisit him many extra times to get pooling blood released. He's been committed to the end with getting her well AND hasn't charged anything extra. I would highly recommend him. He's very professional which I think can sometimes sound rude to some people. He's not rude in the least bit! It's clear he cares deeply about helping others, even though he's been doing this work so long. Thank you Dr. Hyde!

This past spring I started to receive varicose veins in left leg that were leading to potential blood clots. Pressure within my legs started to increase more during physical activity and I started to do some research on how to get this problem solved to reduce the pain. Luckily I found Doctor Hyde here in San Francisco. His team was very informative and kept good care of me over a few months of procedures and check ups. My legs look great and feel better then normal. Very happy with my decision on coming to Elite Vein Specialists and recommend their group to anyone with complications.
