Outcomes
After treatment with Dr. Deol, patient reports “My life has changed in that I wear shorts quite often now and have noticed reduced swelling in my ankles. My confidence has definitely increased in regard to how my legs now look.”
Patient Quote
“I sought help for my legs because of the swelling of my ankles and how they looked. I was not comfortable with how the varicose veins looked when I wore shorts.
My experience with your office from the start. Let's see, I was very impressed with how thorough the initial exam was and how quick the process was from the moment I hit the door. I was immediately greeted by the front office and barely had the paperwork completed when they took me back for the initial exam. They answered all of my questions and put me at ease.”
