So far so good. I can only comment on the initial consultation, ultrasound and few EVLT treatments…read more I have been putting off fixing my varicose veins for a decade (thanks hereditary). Any hoo, I searched around and found a few doctors. Then I double check three top doctors in the East Valley with someone who used to do these Ultrasounds. She hands down recommended Dr. Favata. She even told me that the Dr. had fixed her mom's botched attempt at fixing her varicose veins. I cancelled my other consultations and booked with VIP. I didn't even realize how close this location was to my house. Office is located in the back of professional park. There is plenty of parking. VIP is located on second floor but they have an elevator for those that need it. Front office staff are friendly and help. VIP has very modern technology to remind you of your appointments. From consulation to ultrasound the timing has been pretty quick. Dr. Favata took a lot time to meet with me for consultation and explain on the things that I would need if I decided to move forward with Evlt. Dr. Favata even recommened alternative medical compression stockings to suit my budget that I could access off Amazon (Absolute). I had an Ultrasound a few days later. Sam was great. He was very thorough and professional. Sam not only has been doing this for several years he is a joy to talk too. Sam was great about sharing his knowledge of what he was doing and making me feel very comfortable. So Ultrasound would have been quick but I almost fainted. That was my bad but Sam came to the resuce and got me seated and water. Also a nice ice pack helped me be able to power through the last 5 mintues of the test. Within thirty minutes of the Ultrasound, I had results and a treatment plan. Amy went through all the tough stuff with me but it was pretty inline with the doctors initial visual inspection. However we discovered that my veins were much larger than they thought which made them pretty surprise that I wasn't in more pain. Honestly my legs just get very tired and itchy...but lately they feel heavy. I am hoping when we get done with the last procedure I can get back to Jabz Kickboxing quickly. So I am set to do three different types of procedures. 1st EVLT 2nd Sclerotherapy (foam) and 3rd Phlebotomy one vein has to be killed (let it get to big). I am half way through and cant wait to ditch the compression stocking 24/7. As to procedure EVLT, not horrible but it is an outpatient surgery. Doesn't hurt, alittle uncomfortable 24 hour later but no crazy pain. Worst part is the showers, or as I like to call them "whore baths" becuse trying to keep your bandage dry is a whole different discussion. Also big shout out to Billing Manager for getting my insurance to review my file sooner than later. I must of called her no less than 10x over the holiday three day weekend. Also shout out to Abby for being so nice. I am sure by the time I update this I will have lots of shout out to all of Dr. Favata's staff. Dr. Favata runs a tight ship. She is very particular about her staff, instructions and treatment. She is not here for the malpractice games. Therefore don't expect a rush treatmant plan. While the treatments don't take long she doesnt want to cause to much trauma to your body and I can appreciate that. So far. No brusing and no major scarring. If you need some help in this area, definitely come see her. I like that fact that she is younger but so professional/consistent. Dr. Favata is dedicated to her craft and so far really offers VIP service. Update to come when I am fully healed. Maybe a while because my insurance may change before I can get everything done. We will see. I do plan on finishing the whole treatment plan though because these veins were killing my vibe.

My vein's were healthy before I came to see dr. favata, but unfortunately I only realized it about…read more2 1/2 years later, when the swelling and pain started and I visited a different doctor and I was told that he was surprised that I still had some veins left. Dr. Favata's excessive and unnecessary 10 sessions of EVLT killed the most important veins in my leg and now I suffer from venous insufficiency. I heard by one of her technicians that the bigger the veins more foam is needed. I realized by treating large veins and charging the Insurance companies more money they make. It is a scam. Lack of Knowledge, incompetent technicians for Cat scan, prescribed unnecessary 10 sessions of EVLT that killed innumerous veins of my upper and lower legs including saphena and other lower and upper leg veins causing irreversible circulatory insufficiency. One of my greatest regrets in life is ever meting dr kelly favata.

I had a great experience! the entire team were pleasant, professional, yet friendly…read more Dr. Saha was impressive. During the procedure, I was able to watch him working. Having lived in an operating room for 40 years, I could easily see his confidence and professionalism. At the same time, he is very personable. those two don't always go together. The IR team was just that, Anna & Randy work very well together. The nursing team was great! Kurt, Evan, & Emily were very caring. They quickly put me at ease. I'm very impressed With the entire team!

Do not go here. I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this office. I moved forward with…read morea medical procedure with Dr Saha believing I had been properly informed about insurance, only to later receive $4500 unexpected charges. At no point was I told that the procedure was not covered by Blue Cross, and that I will be charged $4,500 out of pocket. Had I been given honest and transparent information from the beginning, I would have made a different medical and financial decision and chosen the secondary surgery, which is covered by Blue Cross. Patients deserve full informed consent, including clear financial disclosure before undergoing procedures. Instead, they went about like it was covered, going as far as putting in the claim and then appealing the claim, when they knew it would NEVER be covered. Then they told me to appeal it which caused weeks of stress and frustration only to be told by Blue Cross that "the appeal date had passed five months ago" (which the doctors office knew). So overall I felt pressured into a costly procedure without being told that it wasn't covered, then lied to about the appeals and charged without any disclosers or conversations. I have had 5 surgeries before and I'm always responsible for the copay and deductibles. Never have I ever had this kind of situation. This experience caused unnecessary stress, frustration, and financial burden for months. Transparency and patient trust matters, and unfortunately that was not my experience here. Be sure your surgery is covered by your insurance before signing anything and make sure they are transparent about pricing!!!!

Dr. Richard Heuser and his techs are impressive and personable. But procedure scheduling is an…read moreabsolute nightmare. I had cardiac cath scheduled; specifically waited almost a week to be assured of having this done by Heuser personally. I found myself sedated in cath lab with procedure being attempted by 2 doctors I had never seen or heard of before. Evidently, Heuser left on personal matter. Rather than rescheduling procedure, he left me me these subs. They proceeded to muff the procedure and finally abandoned the cath mid procedure without accomplishing anything. Cath lab was in absolute chaos, and I had to hear all this, since I was just under local sedation. I cannot recommend these folks at all with possible exception of being assured that Heuser actually in charge of every conceivable aspect. And be sure friend or relative is actually there to assure Heuser himself in charge.. Be prepared for abrupt cancellation of appt.

I went into metro vein centers because they said it would be paid for with my insurance…read more After I declined them ripping a vein out of my thigh.I went and got a second opinion and was told that it was entirely unnecessary. Now I get a bill every month for $400. I was told insurance would pay for everything, but only it seems if they rip your body parts out. I don't know about the doctors but I feel strongly that the billing department is an institutionalized rip off.

Morning friends! Just thought Iwould share my latest "new doc" experience…read more I decided I wanted to keep being able to walk so I finally chose to have the veins in my legs fixed from "bilateral venous insufficiency" (yep! just like President Trump) I had the testing done at a local facility but their surgery office is clear north of town and I live way south of town. It involved 8....yes EIGHT...visits and multiple cutting on my legs so I decided to seek other options. Went on. *YELP and the reviews were good for Metro Vein so google became my friend to stalk their office. Doc Johnston looked soooo friendly I decided to give them a try... . Yes..before you ask it is my 100% success method of choosing my doctors! What a GREAT experience I had from check in through checkout!! They did a complete ultrasound to look for any changes and then Doc Johnston came in with the verdict...GUILTY of ignoring my legs and I did need the procedure. To my.surprise he offered a procedure that only req 4 visits and NO downtime! Slimey stuff gets put in the vein thru tiny cut...10 min later you walk out! My instincts were right by choosing Doc Johnston and his wonderful office team! little things like a small fridge with drinks, mint packs on table and Claudia at the front desk greeting you with a smile confirmed I chose right! FYI..I was cruel and asked Doc Johnston if I could use the restroom when he came in room to do my procedure This was after his amazing and so sweet asst Jessica had my Leg totally scrubbed down ...prepped and sterilized...I am a brat! tee-hee! So if you need "vein surgery, have pain in your legs or just want to get prettier by getting rid of ugly varicosed veins... go see Doc Johnston at Metro Vein Center! It's worth the consult just for the mints and unlimited beverage service! Happy Saturday Yelpers
