Dr Goren has taken care of my spider veins since 1982. He also got rid of one of my varicose veins. He reminded me that he doesn't charge for an aftercare appt. My friends, also were very happy with his care. Thank you Dr Goren. Pamela read more

Doctor is working by himself, No single employee at his office to take the calls or to assist the patients. As per the doctor that his assistant left the job and since then he is the one taking care for everything. The doctor is confused a patient he been seeing for years and talks about his personal problems to the patient. He also refused rudely that I accompany my gf (the patient ) to the check room as per her request and said : No , sit out ! Can't understand why More doctors choose to work past the traditional retirement age while According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, the average physician retirement age is 65, but today it's not uncommon for doctors to keep practicing past that age. In fact, The number of physicians over age 65 who are still actively practicing medicine quadrupled between 1975 and 2013. There's a reason for the word " Retirement ". read more

Fantastic office. Doctor with great experience! Wonderful doctor Gabrial Goran!! Been going to him for years!

This is one of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. He has medically gaslighted me, ruined my hands, lied to me on multiple occasions and was racist towards me. I didn't realize that the good reviews are some people he personally knows. He has taken money from me not authorized, saved my card information illegally, treated me horribly post operation; when I called terrified because I lost feeling in my fingers he rudely stated "you're overreacting and questioning my experience give yourself time to heal" even though he repeatedly states there is no downtime to the procedure. I had to go to the ER because he cut off circulation to my fingers and was careless! Please stay far away from this Dr. He is unethical, dishonest, a manipulator and overall only cares about money not his patients. I have made sure to report him to the California medical board in hopes he doesn't harm any future patients. read more

Called Dr. Gabriel Goren today and to my disappointment he has retired treating leg veins he's only doing hand veins. I was devastated since he was the only vein doctor that I trusted. Before seeing Dr. Goren I went through two major procedures in order to remove large varicose veins doing "laser procedures" with two different doctors with ZERO results, I felt scammed both times since the treatments cost a lot . Dr. Goren was the only honest doctor that not only promised but delivered the results that gave me my old legs back. My husband is having serious leg vein problems and I was hopeful Dr. Goren could treat him, I guess I'll have to drive to another state in order to find a good vein doctor since I feel in LA they are all scammers. Thank you for treating me in the past and giving my confidence back and most of all thank you for being an honest doctor. All the best to you Dr Goren, you'll be missed :/ read more

Dr. Goren is what I consider an excellent example of what a vascular surgeon should be. He removed the varicose veins in my leg in a two hour session, and prior to doing so, carefully explained the procedure and gave specific post-op instructions. He's very professional, listens to and answers all questions and was always available by phone when I had concerns. His work was outstanding and I'm happy to have had this procedure. I recommend him without hesitation. read more

I am so fortunate to find this incredible surgeon. Dr Gabriel Goren has a painless vein removal technique for bulging, ugly veins on the hands. His assistant Alyse is amazing! Not only is she a fabulous nurse but she makes you feel so comfortable. Can't wait to see the beautiful results. Thank you Dr Goren and Alyse read more

Where do I begin. Dr. Goren is absolutely amazing. THE BEST. A wonderful gentleman. I stopped by his office with my mom for a consultation. From the very beginning he was extremely professional along with his staff. He was very informative and extremely knowledgeable. It's normal to be nervous about having any type of procedure but Dr.Goren made us feel at ease and did not pressure my mom into anything which was great. My mom obviously continued to go on and have her procedure with him and she is extremely happy and refers everyone to him. The scars on her hands and legs are gone thanks to Dr. Goren. He has years of experience which is huge bonus. Our overall experience was wonderful. And I just can not say enough about him and Alyse. Only if there were more doctors like him. Thank you Dr. Goren! read more

I have been referred to Dr. Goren by a friend who has been his patient. The decision was not easy as his office is 130 miles from San Diego city I reside. I checked his website and Yelp reviews and decided to go. Never regretted this decision! I have had the bulging hand vein. I am now 2 months later and could not be happier with the results. As proof, I enclose a before and after picture. Dr. Goren does the procedure in his office and under local anesthesia with no downtime. I could drive immediately. Dr. Goren and his staff (nurse Alyse) were very helpful and very accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Goren to anyone who has the unsightly bulging hand veins I had. read more

If your looking at the Dr. Response he made himself look even worse~ 1. The Dr. Should not be giving my personal medical history or my physical description or what happened during the non surgery it violates my privacy and it also violates HIPPA guidelines. 2. He admits to calling me a child. So unprofessional. When is name calling ever okay ? 3. He may have done thousands of surgeries but this was my first time awake during the procedure, so yes I had anxiety. 4. He claims to have a firm nice voice ~not true ~ I was with the nurse asking if she had like curtain or something to cover the procedure. Dr. Goren walked out of his office before anything had started and told me I didn't have cancer so this procedure wasn't necessary and I could continue having bad veins like my grandparents then he told me to stop acting like a child. 5. Erratic behavior ! He lost it when he showed me a large needle and I ask him not to show me ~I didn't want to to see it and that's when he kicked me out. Their are many way he could have handled the surgery first of all by being patient and kind not inpatient and rude. Also, he could have apologized. Many people can do this procedure its all about how you treat your patients on a personal level. read more

My dermatologist recommended Dr Goren for my varicose veins. We met for a lengthly consultation. Photos of my leg, explanation of surgery and recoup time. Dr Goren has performed over 3500 of these procedures. On the day of surgery he was great. Good beside manner and a sense of humor. In 1 hour and 17 minutes we were finished and I drove home. The post op was exactly as Dr Goren said it would be. I took 2 Advil on the night of the surgery and have been medication free since. I have already recommended Dr Goren to 2 friends. I wish all my doctors were like Dr Goren. I can't say enough about my experience! read more

I had pain in my leg for years and couldn't get my regular doctor to take it seriously. Dr. Goren was fantastic and totally knew how to fix it. And he's gotten rid of most of my spider veins. I went in to relieve the pain, which he did, and bonus my legs look better! And Dr Goren's nurse Elise is great. Very kind and organized. The pricing seems very fair to me, and there was no upselling or surprise charges. I was also able to use my HSA. I will definitely stick with Dr. Goren! read more

After varicose vein removal, new surface veins emerged looking WORSE than fhe varicose vein. Nothing works to remove or even fade these.

I'm so grateful to have met this brilliant doctor Goren & amazing assistant Alyse who were so patient answering all my question prior to the procedure. I had met with many other doctors & found the price much higher as well as not knowing the results. My friend refered me & said she got great results. Sure enough I got mine done & i am the HAPPIEST client ever. 3 weeks later I have the smoothest skin, feel sexy again & you can't even see a mark on my body. Even my daughters are happy for me to see all those big fat green veins gone! If you are considering getting this done, DO IT ASAP BEFORE he retires again! read more

I will keep this short. Dr Goren has done much more for me than any other doctor has ever before. He seriously makes me feel as if we're family, and that my problem was his as well. This is exactly how a doctor should make you feel, and he's the best one I've ever met in my life. If you're here because you're unsure of him, just visit him once and you'll see why we all love him. read more

Dr Goren only offered the most comforting of services. He was very clear and educational. His nurse, also his receptionist is a doll. They make a great team. My 1st experience with him was abuslutly pain free and no down time. I was able to do the treatment of spider veins injections during my lunch hour. I was some what shocked considering I had approximately 60 injections. Very pleased! It helped me feel more confident about wearing a bathing suit during my vacation. Thank you so much Dr Goren read more

Dr Goren is the best!! First class treatment!!! Don't put it off!! He makes all your veins go away!!! I wish I had found he sooner!!!! You will love!!!! I had a varicose vein removed and spider veins zapped!! read more

Daily discomfort in my leg, along with seeing the increased breakdown of a large vein and many smaller ones motivated me to find a specialized doctor to stop a process that was only getting worse. I found the "Vein Disorders Center" online. I was impressed by Dr. Goren's career and how thorough and informational his site is, I knew this was the right doctor for me... Dr. Goren and his staff are wonderful! I have been treated with professionalism and kindness. I was amazed to see him and is long time surgical nurse work together, they are quite a team. That alone was testament to me of his work. My healing time has been short, I no longer suffer with discomfort and certainly have a renewed confidence to not hide my legs anymore. The drive from Santa Barbara to get to him has been worth it, I am grateful to have found him! read more

Dr. Goren was referred to me after I saw a hematologist for a DVT that I received little to no answers on what I should do next. I am 29 yrs old and on a blood thinner that I don't think I need to be on. Dr. Goren saw me for a consultation, free of charge! He reached out to a specialist friend of his in Chicago who helped him come up with how to get me off of this blood thinner. Within a week, a plan was set! He's also such a sweet man. I would recommend him 100 times over. read more

My experience with Dr. Gabriel Goren was nothing less than excellent. Dr. Goran is a complete professional with a multitude of years of experience. In addition to being an excellent MD providing you with a wealth of information, he goes out of his way to make one feel comfortable and well informed. He personally answers emails and questions regarding services or concerns when he has performed a procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Goran and his office manager, Alise, for any vascular procedure, regardless of how large or small. read more

I have to start my review with the highest appreciation from Dr. Goren and specifically from Alyce his great assistance who makes you feel comfortable and stress free with creating such a professional yet friendly and warm environment. It's an absolute pleasure to know and more than that have Dr. Goren as my physician. He's extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I had a procedure for about an hour and half in his office which I thought it was going to be so painful and uncomfortable. It turned out to be the greatest vascular procedure that I have done with absolutely no pain neither any sort of discomfort and the result was just great. Words can not express my gratitude thank you thank you thank you read more

I wish more doctors' offices were like Dr Goren's. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by Alyse who always has a smile for you. Then there's Dr Goren who has a great bedside manner and is able to answer any question you might have. From the initial consultation he took the time to explain the procedure in detail. I've had sclerotherapy on my legs and after a couple of treatments I already have seen a big difference. I would definitely recommend Dr Goren for all vein related concerns. I only wish I had found him sooner! read more

I've had the pleasure of being Dr. Goren's patient for over 10 years. He was recommended by a top gynecologist as "simply the best". Most recently his treatment of bulging spider and varicose veins on my legs and ankles has been easy, fast and amazingly successful. Dr. Goren doesn't "gloss over" the details of his procedures - he explains everything thoroughly, including any possible discomfort. He is able to charge reasonable fees because he is not a Beverly Hills doctor with high rent, etc. Office visits are a breeze with validated parking and no waiting, and Nurse Alysse is a doll. I can't recommend Dr. Gabriel Goren enough ! read more

I first met Dr Goren in 1994 I had a procedure on my left leg for varicose veins,which were very painful, the procedure was done in the office and my results are amazing. I have developed some spider veins since then (23 years later) And much to my surprise I saw Dr Goren had retired but he was back working, I made an appointment and his lovely sweet and personable assistant booked my appointment and made me very comfortable when I entered the office I was so happy to see Dr Goren he has the best bed side manner, and genuinely cares about you. I would highly recommend. read more

I went in 3 weeks ago to get my spider veins treated by Dr Goren and was very much prepared to go back 3 more times because it usually takes up to 3 treatments from what I know but he did such a great job I don't need to go back. I'm really happy!! It took so long to find the right Dr. read more

Here is my story...Dr. Goren removed a large vein and several small veins from my legs 23 years ago. I moved to the San Fran area and have collected more unsightly veins and I was so happy he came back from retirement as I he is worth a long drive/fly to have him work on my legs. He spends so much time with you and works hard to hit as many as he can during your visit. Unlike most docs in my area they charge you a fortune to work on one small area. His office person is friendly and efficient and a real gem, which is important when I am traveling to see the doc. He is a darling guy too so I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Goren is exactly what I want in a doctor. He does amazing work, he is very communicative and helpful, he takes his time to explain everything, being sure to answer any questions I have, and he clearly knows his expertise backwards and forwards. His staff is amazing as well - friendly, helpful, caring. Alyse, in particular, is incredible! I always feel taken care of when I visit, and the results have been amazing. Bottom line - Dr. Goren is someone I trust. read more

I was referred to Dr. Goren from my plastic surgeon. I have been struggling with ugly looking spider veins on my legs for years now. About 5 years ago I went to a dermatologist in Beverly Hills that attempted to remove them for me. I say attempted because it was very expensive and my results were very minimal. This is the complete opposite with Dr. Goren. After our consultation I felt very comfortable with Dr. Goren and was assured that my veins would be effectively removed. I was also told by Dr. Goren that I would not really see any results until my second session, although, I saw results immediately!! I've had only two sessions so far and my legs are looking GREAT!! I can't even express how grateful i am to be able to comfortably wear shorts, skirts, bathing suit, etc this summer! Thank you Dr. Goren and to his wonderful, pleasant assistant Alyse! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Goren! read more

I've been to Dr. Gabriel twice now and already have noticed a difference I've had spider veins for years and did nothing about it until my husband made a recent comment. " You have great legs except for those ugly veins!" That was it. Looked online and discovered Dr. Gabriel. So glad I did. He and Elise are fabulous. They are a great team and make you feel right at home. Would highly recommend! read more

If you have spider veins, this is the doctor for you! I went to Dr Goren after reading his reviews on Yelp. The spider veins on my legs stopped me from wearing shorts but I had no idea where to go for treatment. I am so happy I chose him as all the good reviews are true. I enjoyed each visit. Alyse, his office manager, was so easy to work with, so friendly but always professional and my appointments were always on time. Dr. Goren took the time to explain how spider veins develop and his process for removal and my sessions were actually fun. I am very satisfied with the results and would recommend him to anyone. Just an overall great experience. Fay M. read more

What a wonderful gentleman, and, a gentle man as well! My first time in this sparkling clean office, met by the sweet Alyse whose kind demeanor was so welcoming. Meeting the Doctor and answering his questions in his office before the exam reassured me that I was indeed in the right hands. Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion. I will certainly recommend you to one and all!! read more

Dr. Goren is fantastic! I'm disappointed I waited so long to take care of my spider veins, I didn't know it was a fairly inexpensive process but with Dr. Goren, it is! He has a personal approach to his practice, and explains the process. I would definitely recommend! read more

Dr. Goren is the ABSOLUTE BEST! I came to him to get rid of some large very visible veins on the back of my legs and had great results. I started with a consultation in which he explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. He did not pressure me to do it, simply laid my options out on the table. Alyse is amazing and was able to accommodate my schedule. I am young and was hesitant to do sclerotherapy at my age however, I was put at ease upon meeting Alyse and Dr. Goren. I received 3 treatments all of which he did injections that were uncomfortable but bearable. I had some bruising for the week after the injections but that is to be expected. Overall the large obnoxious veins in the back of my legs are gone, just in time for summer! He is very fairly priced and such an amazing doctor! Don't hesitate go pay Alyse and Dr. Goren a visit you will not be disappointed. read more

I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Goren. He gave me a lengthy, informative consultation at no charge which instilled my confidence and trust in him. It was borne out every step of the way throughout the surgery and treatments. He charges reasonable rates and does not nickel and dime you. He takes great pride in his work and I am very pleased with the results. read more

Dr. Goren is a vein surgeon with amazing skills. I had to have a varicose vein removed. He does this without general anesthetic, using local pain injections as he proceeds through the surgery. I felt terrific, and although I could have gone about my day as usual, I took the day off. Two days later I was playing tennis. His follow up is terrific, he can be reached at any time by phone with any concerns - I had none. He is very skilled in his field and was recommended to me by my dermatologist of 30 years. read more

Dr. Goren came highly recommended to me for the spider veins and varicose veins in my legs and I must say that he not only met my expectations, he FAR exceeded them!! Dr. Goren is definitely an expert at his craft and spent a great deal of time in my consultation appointment explaining my options in great detail and making sure that I completely understood the process. I decided to do sclerotherapy and I couldn't be happier with my decision! Now I can wear shorts and skirts and flaunt my legs instead of hide them, because they look fantastic! Both Dr. Goren and his assistant Allyse have done an excellent job at making me feel comfortable before, during and after my procedure and I cannot thank them enough!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Goren to anyone considering sclerotherapy or similar treatments. He is a TRUE professional and his work speaks for itself!! read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Gabriel Goren! I had terrible varicose veins on one of my legs that were not only painful and itchy, but very unsightly, Dr. Goren took wonderful care to access and treat my leg. I would highly recommend Dr. Goren's 30+ years of experience if you are looking to have work like this done. I really did my research and in my opinion, stay away from the factory places that advertise on the radio and billboards, there is nothing better than the personal and individual care that you will receive from Dr. Goren. The only thing I would change is that I was told the recovery would be a bit easier than it actually was but I guess everyone is different, it took about 2 weeks until I felt back to normal. Alise who works for Dr. Goren is so kind and patient and even returned my calls after hours to make sure I felt comfortable. I really recommend this doctor and this office for Vein surgery. read more

I cannot believe that I have my legs back-something I never thought would happen again. After having 3 beautiful boys, I thought my swollen legs and varicose veins were part of what happens when you have 3 pregnancies, like stretch marks. Never did I imagine that they could be treated. Being that I love fashion and getting dressed up, not being able to wear dresses or skirts showing off my legs was a big deal to me. Being only 30 years old, I knew that I had to do something to regain my self-confidence. And that's when my amazing OBGYN recommended Dr. Goren. They are both located in the same building and I trusted her recommendation immediately. I scheduled a consultation and never have I learned so much science so quickly and clearly! Dr. Goren took the time to explain everything in detail to me. I finally had a clear understanding about the condition of my legs and that there was still a future for them! Skirts and dresses here I come! The procedure was quick and painless. After only 2 weeks, my legs look almost as good as new. I am excited to see the final outcome once my injections are completely over with. I am ready to tackle the summer with my new legs. Thank you Dr. Goren for making such a difference. You are truly the best in what you do and the results speak for themselves. I am forever grateful to you. read more

Doctor Goren is the best! About 20 years ago, I had a varicose vein removed, went back to work that same day, without any pain or follow-up problems, and to this day, I can't remember which leg it was because there is not any evidence of a scar. Imagine my supreme happiness, when all these years later I needed my spider veins injected and Dr. Goren was still in practice. His sense of humor, graciousness, and complete explanation of his procedures makes me feel relaxed and confident. I would recommend him to anyone with a vein problem or question. read more

Several years ago I had a varicose vein removed on my leg. The experience was fantastic. I have no visible scars and no sign of the varicose vein. Recently, I began to notice another vein on my other leg. After a consultation, I scheduled a surgery appointment with Dr. Goren, and within an hour the vein was gone. Recovery has been minimal with no pain at all. Very satisfied. read more
