Forcing yourself to drink all the horrible tasting liquid. Spending the night in the bathroom. I am very pleased to say Dr. Andy Kramer of Genevea Il. was my Physician. Dr. Kramer and his Staff were polite, professional and helpful throughout the process. His bowel prep included over the counter products I bought at Walgreens and Gatorade making it a breeze. The procedure was a walk in the park. He removed two polops. After Dr. Kramer analyized these, he called me personally to let me know now I'm set for ther next 10 years. The pre op nurse I had was amazing. She made a comment before the procedure how relaxed I was. I told her, "I know I'm in good hands." If you live in or around the Fox Valley area Dr. Kramer is the one to see. Paul O'Connell

I recently went in for my FREE physical per my insurance co. Blue cross Blue shield... I got billed for an office visit. Last year when this happened i asked why I was billed, was told because i asked the doctor a question so, this year i asked no questions....still got billed for an office visit. the explanation was that i have additional diagnosis,isn't this something as the patient I should have been notified of? Seems a little deceitful. Won't be going back! I will be contacting Blue cross Blue shield to see if this is a common pracitice..... if I had been told there additional charges for additional items. i would have been fine paying the bill. seems by not notifying patients of this pratice they are just trying to pad the bill!!!

I went to Vein and Laser yesterday for the first time, for a tattoo removal consultation. After the…read moreprocedure was thoroughly explained to me by the nurse (Bea), I decided to go ahead with the laser treatment on my arm and leg. Bea did such a wonderful job of making me feel more at ease, as I was fairly nervous. She explained the numbing process and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was doing okay throughout, which gave me a sense of comfort. She did not rush the procedure at all. I am prone to anxiety, and Bea's kindness and professionalism helped me get through it. Also, the laser portion of the treatment was truly painless! Upon completion of the procedure, I was sent home with a packet of after-care instructions, ice packs, and all the supplies needed to bandage up & care for the areas that were lasered while they heal. I am confident that I have finally found the right place to remove my tattoos once and for all, which is such a relief. There are several tattoo removal clinics out there, but based on my prior experiences and comparison to my great appointment at Vein and Laser, I'm not certain of their effectiveness or legitimacy. I highly recommend this office, as your care will come from a medical doctor and RN. Yes, it is a bit of an expense (yet not outrageous!) but worth it for the high-quality laser equipment and the extra care received!
