        Quick and Easy!

        When things did hurt. Dr. Fern warned me about "poking or stabbing" during the sclerotherapy procedure. He had a very compassionate way of handling painful points.

        My Experience

        I met Dr. David Fern following a procedure which required emergency surgery. Dr. Fern was informative during the first meeting, explaining every step of the surgery he was going to perform. After the surgery, he was very attentive and continued to monitor me closely until discharge. He was very pleasant and I felt like I was his only patient. I would recommend him for all of your surgical needs.
