Think twice before starting treatment.
Staff were extremely courteous and nice but my issues are more with disclosing ALL possible problems/side effects associated with treatment for vein disease and especially the duration that these issues may persist. Of course there are variations amongst patients but previous medical procedures/surgeries that I have had all possible scenarios were discussed prior to the procedure. At Vein Clinics not all possible side effects were discussed or included in the folder of information and the information on side effects that was discussed or in folder was downplayed. I am at 6 months post treatment and I still have numbness and daily ankle swelling in both legs. I originally sought treatment for thigh discomfort...no pain in one leg. I did not have any symptoms anywhere else yet I feel Vein Clinics was too aggressive in my treatment because they treated both legs despite the fact that I did not present with any visual or physical symptoms on my part. Possibly I might have needed treatment a few years later but my other leg was not bothering me at all. I feel that I am worse off than before I started treatment. My quality of life is definitely worse since I went to Vein Clinics.
