After having had several assessments and comments on what should be done or tried and get on "the list" (government health system) I chose to search out options on my own, with some support from a great nurse… A bit scary to say the least, what did I know about any medical issues, even questions I should be asking. All I knew was I had a problem and had to address it. It had been several years and still "I" had issues with veins and pressure on my leg. From applying creams that only thinned my skin to actually being prescribed iodine to ingest! My research brought me to Dr. Matz, I had my visit with some reservations, watched videos, reviewed pictures and a lot of reading. With all the questions answered and different procedures explained to me I did even more research. I came to the conclusion this was an avenue for me. The day of surgery I still had some reservations (who doesn’t) but after being greeted and given instruction as to what was being and what I needed to do, it was a walk in the park…truly. There wasn’t any pain or discomfort, I left and returned to work. I’ve had follow up visits and will continue for the next while which is all part of Dr. Matz professionalism. I strongly recommend anyone dealing with the pain and discomfort of varicose veins or having to wear stockings day in and out that you review what is on this site and meet with Dr. Matz. It will change your current everyday challenges.
