Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Post-op doing great!
I had my procedure today on my great sapphenous vein only (my insurance requires me to wait 3 months to treat the other one I need treated). It was such a wonderful procedure - truly just one beesting-like prick and the rest was great! 15 mins in and out!
Now I am to leave my compression stocking on for 24 hours and then during the day for 2 weeks.
The doctor is great. Highly recommend! :)

T-3 hours!
Today is the day for the EVLT procedure. I am to be at the office at 8:15 - bring a sweater, don't shave my leg that's being treated or apply lotion and bring my compression garment with me.
I am beginning to get nervous about the local anesthesia part but I have considered smartlipo so if I can't do this then there's no way I can do that. I'm sure there's no reason to be anxious I just want to get it over with! :)

Compression stocking
I had to start wearing my thigh-high compression garment yesterday in order to get used to wearing it before the surgery. My post-op instructions are to wear the stocking for 24 hours then about 8 hours a day for 2-3 weeks. It's not so bad to wear (it is footless so at least I don't have to wear special shoes, but it seems to take FOR-EV-ER to put on! I use playtex grippy/cleaning gloves to help and it does help to get a good grip on them and smooth it it out.
My leg does feel better while I'm wearing it but when I took it off last night I noticed that my veins were actually bulging and pooling more than I'd seen since I was pregnant. That's not hot! :)
I'll keep wearing until my surgery, as instructed.
