Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr.Gotvald for treatment of a vascular malformation. He not only diagnosed the malformation, he was the only doctor to find a defective valve in my leg. Before the two treatments I had I was unable to walk or stand for long distances, now I was able to walk 12 miles on a recent vacation!

He and his staff were professional and so kind. They worked with my insurance and made the process so smooth. I've had insurance issues in the past and they took all the stress out of the situation. The front office staff answered all my questions and never made me feel bad for calling (a lot).

I highly recommend Austin Vein Specialists.

Dr. Gotvald did some treatment on me a number of years ago, and I was happy with his results so I returned when I needed other treatments performed.

Dr. Gotvald is great at what he does. He is intimately familiar with his specialty, immediately recognizes any issues and has a plan to deal with them. He tells you how the plan will likely progress and he is pretty accurate in his initial assessment.

He performs the procedures with skill and minimizes any discomfort. His entire staff is courteous, professional, and considerate. It is a bit of a drive for me to fight through traffic but always worth it to me for the care that the doctor and staff provide.

An outstanding experience all around. The staff, along with Dr. G, we fabulous. Always ready upon my arrival, everything prepped and ready to go.

My health and well being were at the top of the list on each visit. Dr. G answered any and all questions in a friendly way, making sure I not only understood the upcoming procedures, but was also comfortable with expectations and results. I saw immediate results and changes to my legs after my vein ablation. I even lost 10 pounds total body weight....mostly likely from my malfunctioning legs.

I give Dr. G and all of his staff my highest recommendation and praise. What a great group!!

If you have any leg/ankle swelling, varicose or other vein issues, any family history of Stroke or blood clots, Dr. Gotvold is the Doctor you need to see.

I am thoroughly convinced that Dr. Gotvold saved my life between 2016-17, starting with “routine”varicose vein treatment, but proceeding to his discovery of extensive blood clots in left leg, immediately, that day, prescribing blood thinner, and then, subsequently from regular checkup ultrasound, finding blood clots in right leg following knee replacement surgery.

In short, Dr. Gotvold knows what he’s doing, and he does not cut corners in getting to the bottom of your problems.

I want to thank the entire staff for the great care. Super excited about wearing dresses again. Highly recommend for all vein treatments.

The staff and doctor are fabulous and take their time with you. He explains everything in detail and really relaxes you with great music during session.

Highly recommend this office. A former doctor at a different office that I went to tried to cut my legs up (old way). With my current treatments you cannot tell where my injections were placed.

Thank you a million times over.

Dr. Gotvald and his staff are fantastic!

I had laser vein ablation done at his office several years ago to treat venous insufficiency, and have recently returned for sclerotherapy treatments. He explains everything thoroughly throughout the process and answers any questions I might have.

Ruby at the front desk is really helpful with scheduling and answering insurance/billing questions. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and professional. The treatment rooms and waiting area are clean and comfortable, and they are great with being on time.

Had a fabulous experience with Dr Gotvald and his staff! They were super welcoming and always willing to answer questions that I had. They clearly communicated cost before any procedures and took time to make sure that I understood all charges.

Dr Gotvald is very knowledgeable and amazing at communicating your options. My insurance approved my surgeries which was an added bonus.

I had multiple procedures by Dr Gotvald and have had great results from all of them. My legs look better and most of all feel better than they have in over decade. I recommend this office to anyone looking for vein treatments with a caring and competent doctor and staff!
