"In 2014 I started having swelling problems with my left ankle and foot. My MD sent me to Vein Atlanta for a solution, and there I met Dr. James Fonger. Dr. Fonger turned out to be a very calm, friendly, and insightful man who exudes great confidence. After an ultrasound of my legs, he determined that I have venous insufficiency in both legs, much worse in my left leg. In other words, the valves in my primary leg veins had become weak and were letting blood leak back down to my foot, causing the swelling. No problem. We set up Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) surgery appointments and Sclerotherapy sessions to treat my minimal spider veins. It did take a few months for the surgeries' success to become apparent, but it did and I couldn't be happier. As an added bonus, Dr. Fonger is an avid conversationalist, and we talked a little about music, tech, and language at each visit. I recommend Dr. Fonger and his entire staff at Vein Atlanta in Lawrenceville wholeheartedly. "
