Dr. Wilkinson is very professional, listens to my concerns, explained the procedure well and what steps she would take to take care of my vein issues. During the procedure she explained what steps she was taking and made sure I was ok and comfortable with each step. When it became uncomfortable she stopped and added more numbing solution and made sure I was ok before proceeding. Dr Wilkinson was patient and took her time carefully, I never felt being rushed with her. I would recommend her most definitely!!
