Four years ago CICC put a port in for my step father. They always say that they do not put a port…read morein if the white blood count is over 10 because it can cause infection. They knew that my step father had pneumonia the month before which increased his white blood count. They did not check his white blood count before the port placement. We did not realize that CICC did not check his white blood count. Later we learned that his white blood count was 13.4 when the port was put in. He ended up with a massive infection, got septic and four months later he died. We will never forget the suffering he experienced after the port placement. CICC completely disregarded what happened. I would never go near them.

Dr. Makki is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my entire life…read more He told me on my first visit that I had fluid on the heart. That was not true at all The patient portal informed me two days after my echocardiogram that I had a "heart failure". I did not. When I finally called the doctor, after hearing nothing from them, they claimed to have no idea what the patient portal tells their patients. They said they have no control over it. They said I needed to get over it. The Dr. literally said to me, "you're just mad at the way medicine is practiced in America." No! I said, I'm mad at you! You are in charge, you picked this patient portal and chose to not learn how it worked or didn't work. To this day, I have not been given an explanation of why it said I had heart failure under the heading "Diagnosis" and frankly nobody there cared about how I felt for two weeks thinking I had heart failure. I have pretty extreme anxiety and depression and this entire episode made me incredibly depressed and anxious. I pretty much have a panic attack if I'm asked to talk about it. It makes me so angry that throughout they showed zero concern for my mental health, knowing my conditions. I recommend everyone steer clear of this disaster of a doctor and his office. You only have one life to lose.

I don't usually leave reviews on yelp but I had a very similar experience with Dr. Makki about a…read moreyear ago. I did not have any issues with the patient portal and I actually found his assistant Mai, to be very helpful. However, my heart condition was misdiagnosed by Dr Makki. He informed me that there was a problem and that I needed open heart surgery for it right away. The part that bothers me to this day is that he was so arrogant when I asked questions and he wanted to schedule the surgery right away. I had just learned of the issue and we were already scheduling a major surgery? Well after further testing and studies with other cardiologists, we found that his diagnosis was incorrect. The surgeon, had I listened to Dr. Makki, would have been prepared for one procedure when I actually would have needed something completely different. Dr. Makki is a young doctor and still has a lot to learn about how to interact with his patients when they are in need. I cannot recommend him.

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 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.

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

They obviously have more patients than they know what to do with. and they dont need my business. My insurance is contracted with this provider and it was found that I needed to have several varicose vein treatments, however I could never get anyone to call me back with my financial obligation. With my insurance it depends on if it is listed as an "in office procedure" or a "surgical procedure". I spoke with several staff members that always sounded concerned and that someone would call me back, it just never happened. The office scheduler, Antonette, was so quick to call and schedule my procedures, but wasn't able to provide financials to me. I shared that "wouldn't it make more sense to quote cost before scheduling so that you aren't wasting your time, if the patient is unable to afford". She agreed and stated the office is going thru some management changes. This is a poor business practice and I can see why they have poor reviews. I work in Healthcare and this is absolutely unacceptable and I will find a second opinion. What a waste of time, energy and my initial copay. I should have known from the time I arrived the 1st time and they didn't verify my correct benefits, that this was going to be a problem. Steer clear and find another provider.

Please do not go to this location. Was the worst experience in my life. First visit I was burned…read more Staff was very unprofessional. After all the appointments the card machine wasn't working. They wanted cash every visit on my last month. No receipts were given. Always say they would bring it to the room. Never happened. Next start receiving bills I don't owe. Went back to office and doctor and half the staff had quit. Doctor took all the files so only thing they know is I owe money. Never looked at my payments showing Never missed a copayment since I started. Could not even see that I had a appointment, but say I owe money. If dealing with this people be extremely careful with payments. Now legs look like bug bites, bad scars. Looks worse than the veins. Looking for a different vein institution to try to fix the issue. Decided to pay bill and of course was promised a receipt by email and haven't received it yet. Glad I paid by card. Just home from having a stroke and dealing with billing I almost had another one. I could go on forever about this facility but read their reviews, wish I had of before I started. BE CAREFUL with this institution. Go at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!
