blood clots I had in my right leg. This doctor had an informational meeting at the hospital, more like a telemarketing
scam about what he could do. I was not concerned about the cosmetics but he claimed if he removed
the mild varicose veins I would be good as new. Besides the pain I got billed $5000 for about 1 minute of the
doctors time. My insurance turned it down calling it cosmetic surgery but the doctor did after several weeks get it approved.
It did get rid a the various veins but it did not improve my circulation problems actually made it worse. In my follow up
I told the doctor that it made it worse, he lied saying he never told me it would help circulation. I should have sued the SOB.
