Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I really enjoyed working with Dr. Sorensen's team they were very friendly efficient and my procedure was done very quickly.

Dr Sorenson was wonderful to work with!! He took the time to explain what my issues were and to answer any questions I had. The staff at both the Elgin and Lake Zurich offices were friendly, helpful etc. I have recommended Vein Specialists of Illinois to several people that have stated their legs hurt or they have swelling and they don't know why. Wonderful place to visit!!!

I have used the services of other phlebologists in the past so I had the opportunity to contrast all aspects of the services provided by Dr. Sorenson and his staff. Simply stated, I rate them superior in all areas.

When I decided to finally address my extensive varicose veins, I was fortunate that my dermatologist recommended Vein Specialists of Illinois. I was very happy to learn that the Lake Zurich office was convenient to my home. Dr. Sorenson and his staff were professional and clearly explained the process and recommended medical treatment plans for my situation. My outcomes exceeded my expectations.

I met Dr. Sorenson and his staff during an open house they were having. At that time they were very personal and explained every detail of their specialty. During my procedures and follow-ups, that never changed. They always make you feel welcome and important. They are very professional and I appreciate the time and care each and every one of you gave to me! Thank you Dr. Sorenson, Celina, Lisa, and Sherrice!
