My legs have been an mbarrassment for years. When my grandson said "Nana what is wrong with your legs?" (referring to my numerous vaicose veins) I finally caved and decided to call Dr. Harper's office. Now wearing shorts or a dress is no longer a problem.
I would tell any friend or family member who are curious about having their veins treated, don't wait! The experinece was not painful and the entire staff bent over backwards to be professional, friendly and addressed every question very well. Check out the website - then go!
There were two things that pleased me most throughout the course of my treatment at Vein Specialists. 1) The staff (all) were very compassionate and helpful. The office ran smoothly like a "well-oiled machine". 2) Dr. Harper and the nursing staff offered thorough pre-op education, careful explanations of every procedure, and likewise, post-op care.
I am so glad to have found this great group of people. I would and do recommend Vein Specialists to anyone.

Overall, vein care has improved my life by giving me great self-esteem. I was very self conscious before, but after I had the procedure, I am not at all. If friends or family memebers were curious about having their veins evaluated and treated I would tell them to not put it off if they are having problems. It is a very easy procedure. The practice was very friendly and professional.
I love the overall results and would definitely do it again. Any future problems I will come back to the Vein Specialists to see Dr Harper and his Staff.

Vein care has given me greater confidence not only in my appearance but also my ability to accomplish daily tasks without pain! I would tell anyone who was curious about getting their legs looked at to "Just Do It" - without doubt or hesitation! I wish I had made the decision to have my procedures done sooner.
I was very please with the professionalism of the practice and the results! From the first time I came to Vein Specialists, I knew without a doubt that I had made the right decision concerning my health. As I continued through the process, that feeling stayed with me. Dr. Harper and his entire staff have been and absolutely are the BEST - knowledgeable, professional, caring, and dedicated.

"I was up and moving around immediately following the (Closure) procedure. The next day, I no longer had the heaviness in my legs. The success of the treatment was apparent immediately"
Ila's symptoms began at the age of 24 during her pregnancy. She experienced "leg pain, especially when standing for long periods of time." She was "self-conscious about the wormy like (varicose) veins and was uncomfortable wearing shorts and skirts." Vein problems are common in Ila's family. Both her mother and sister were treated with traditional vein stripping and were left with noticeable scars and persisting symptoms.
Ila sought a treatment that would be less invasive. Dr. Harper recommended the Closure procedure. Ila was confident in Dr. Harper's recommendation and was pleased to find out that her insurance covered 100% of the cost. The procedure was performed with local anesthesia and minimal sedation. Ila stated, "I was comfortable throughout the procedure and aware of my surroundings." Ilas was active right after the procedure and has resumed recreational activities including golf, tennis, and swimming. She stated, "I'd highly recommend Vein Specialists of the South and the Closure procedure.

In 2007, I retired and relocated to the Macon area. During my working years, I developed large varicose veins and much pain. The veins were so bad that I had to wear pants to the beach so no one would see my legs.
I made an appointment with our new physician in Macon. I asked him if something could be done with my legs other than just stripping the veins. His comment was, "I have just the doctor for you, Dr. Harper." In fact, he was going for a procedure on one of his legs.
After an extensive examination and consultation with Dr. Harper, I felt that I had finally found the physician to perform my vein procedures.
Dr. Harper did one leg one week and the other leg the next week. The one thing that amazed me was within several days of each operation, I was able to resume most normal activities.
In March of 2008, Dr. Harper performed what I would call a miracle on my legs. I no longer have pain in my legs and I wear shorts almost every day.
Doctor Harper and his staff spoke with me and gave me pamphlets on how to take care of my legs. I'm well aware that I have to take care of my legs and now I have the knowledge to do so.
