Patient Testimonials

They do a great job. I look forward to going if you can say that about going to have a procedure.

Thoughtful and attentive!

When my leg started to become very painful during my long commutes to and from work, I made an appointment with my doctor. She referred me to the Vein Specialists of the North Shore. My experience with the Vein Specialists was a completely positive one from start to finish! The office is clean and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff was kind and friendly at each one of my appointments. On the day of my procedure I was a little anxious, not knowing exactly what to expect. The staff made sure I was comfortable, and they took the time to chat with me and put me at ease. Dr. Mastromatteo did the same, and before I knew it the procedure was over! I barely felt any discomfort during the surgery, and was surprised (and very glad) to find that I was not in any pain afterward. I was moving around much better than I had anticipated for the rest of the day. I couldn't believe it! Now my commute is pain-free, and my leg looks better, too! I would definitely recommend the Vein Specialists of the North Shore to anyone! A sincere thanks to the front desk, ultrasound, the entire staff and Dr. Mastromatteo. You made an experience that was seemingly complicated very ease and pain-free! I couldn't be more pleased with the results - Thank you all!

The entire staff at the Vein Specialists of the North Shore were wonderful. They all made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The saphenous vein on my left leg was very unsightly and hurt if I stood on my legs too long. Dr. Neuman was able to remove that vein and I was in hardly any pain during the procedure! My recovery time was minimal as well. I am completely satisfied with the results of my medical procedure. I highly recommend Vein Specialists of the North Shore to anyone interested in treating their veins.

For 28 years I put off having my vein even looked at! I came to the realization my need of help was greater than the fear I was imagining & made an appointment with Dr. Michael Mastromatteo. He patiently explained what would need to be done and set my mind at ease. The day of the surgery came. I had my procedure and my fears were quite unfounded - there was really no pain - just mild discomfort and after a few hours I was able to go home. With the support of the staff, I was able to work through some minor problems. Their support went above and beyond my expectations & experiences. The office has a valuable asset in him. My follow up with Dr. Mastromatteo also made my decision justified - I would most certainly recommend The Vein Specialists to anyone who needs such care. Thank you all.

Dr. Mastromatteo:

Everyone on the office staff was wonderful Very caring; calming; and professional.
Thanks again for a surprisingly good experience.

Before my procedure, I felt as if I was dragging around a 100 pound wooden leg, but afterwards I could have gone dancing! My surgery has given me a new lease on life-I can once again enjoy walking the dog and many other activities I had been avoiding. The psychological uplift has been as important as the relief of the physical symptoms. For this, I am forever grateful to the wonderful people at the Vein Specialists of the North Shore. The actual surgery and the recuperation period were easy and involved minimal discomfort. All of the staff were professional, courteous, friendly, and answered all my questions clearly and thoroughly. Many, many thanks to Dr. Neuman and everyone who helped make my experience at Vein Specialists of the North Shore a very positive one.

I have nothing but the utmost appreciation and sincerest gratitude to all of the staff I encountered a the Vein Specialists of the North Shore. From my first consultation with Dr. Balcom though my two procedures, the care has been outstanding. An always friendly and pleasant environment was presented by the entire staff every time I visited. I am beyond pleased with my results and cannot recommend the Vein Specialists highly enough. Thank you all so very much!

Dr. Mastromatteo:

I know one of your patients and I saw her last night at an event.
She was raving about how you made her legs look so much better.
She even showed me: you do beautiful work!
I hope I made your day!

I had a REALLY ugly clump of raised spider veins on the side of my knee that looked like a horrible bruise. They never bothered me, but friends kept asking me what I did to my leg! It was embarrassing. I met Dr. James Bass at the Vein Specialists and he very patiently took the time to explain all of my options. He recommended Laser treatment - who knew THAT was available? I'm a bit of a skeptic, but trusted his judgement. I am SO glad I did. The difference is REMARKABLE. I never realized how bad it looked until I saw my BEFORE & AFTER photos. I'm a believer now, and can't wait to have the rest of my legs treated! Dr. Bass is wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone considering spider vein treatment.
