Terrible service - left with more pain than I started with.
Motive for attending: I had 1 vein on the back of my LEFT leg that I had mild pain after air-travel and it was unsightly. You are "required" to attend for several ultrasounds (which seems like a nice way to keep charging a copay and billing the insurance). Appointment wait times were on several occasions over an hour past the booked time (on several occasions I was told this was due to being short-staffed, which isn't anyone's problem but theirs, but apparently keeping a waiting room full of people hanging around is acceptable.) My RIGHT leg was operated on first - almost without my consultation, I was literally on the operating table when they told me... Finally months later after 1 surgery on my LEFT leg, another was scheduled. The same doctor as had previously operated on me twice before started then asked if I had had surgery for this vein previously. When I told him he had, there was a scramble to hide their obvious lack of notation and notes reading. A 3rd surgery was scheduled. After several last minute cancellations (once at Christmas when the Doctor just decided that morning not to show up) and much waiting I opted to never return. I was then chased by the billing team for medical costs. I pointed out how terrible the service had been, I was offered a small discount if I just paid the bill in full rather that battling them. I contacted my Insurance provider who said that all of the companies who they recommend are of the highest standard and there was nothing they would do to assist me. So I still have an unsightly vein on the back of my leg. I have much more pain than I had before I started this process. I occasionally consider my options to pursue a resolution elsewhere by have been very much turned against what should have been a simple routine surgery.
