    Called to inquire about sclerotherapy and the customer rep answering the phone did not know what this is. Not a good for a Vein Specialist.

    My father has been dealing with horrible pain in his legs for years. When my sisters and I heard he…read morewas seeking treatment for his varicose veins we were more then ecstatic! After several treatments and follow ups he's on his was to recovery. During this process Dr. Sunje, with great care and monitoring, recommended my father to go to the E.R. for his high blood pressure. During one of his visits it reached a staggering 232. Dr. Sunje and his entire staff are professional, courteous but most of all very personable; they truly care about their patients and the care they receive. So on behalf of my father Leo Velez and myself, we would like to thank you for all your help and dedication to my father's mobile improvements. I would definitely recommend visiting the facility knowing your in great hands!

    I went to Dr. Shirley today for the first time, and she was very nice. I went for a physical, and…read moreI spent about an hour with her, and then another half hour with her assistant doing a couple tests. For the most part, I felt Dr. Shirley was patient and willing to answer questions without rushing or interrupting you. I was pretty satisfied with the whole experience, and only withhold a fifth star because of the price. I have not been to the doctor in a looong time, and am only going now because my current employer has a health reimbursement account for me. In other words, my complaints could be totally unjustified as I am ignorant about current medical pricing. That said, my physical included a flu shot, tetanus shot, EKG reading, hemoccult, and urinalysis. My total came to $359. Maybe the reader of this knows if that is reasonable or not. If not, maybe one way to save money would be to get the flu shot (Influenza vaccine + Pneumovax vaccine= $57 at Dr. Roy's) at a public clinic and get the rest done with the doc? Anyways, it seems like a lot to little old me. All in all, if you have good insurance or are sick of substandard care at the low-income clinics and have the money, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Roy. UPDATE: I originally went to Dr. Roy in Feb. 2007. It is now almost May, and I am having real trouble with the organizational/secretarial aspect of this office, so I'm taking back 2 stars. I had some testing done (per Dr. Roy's orders) at a clinic while I was travelling in Canada. I paid for the tests and a international fax fee to have the results sent to Dr. Roy so we could discuss them at my next appointment. I have called 7 times over the past 3 weeks trying to find out if they have been received. The first week there was no answer, and a "Voice message box full....*click*". The next week there is a voice mail greeting from the actual secretary saying messages will be checked several times a day. I have left 3 messages over the past 2 weeks and still no response. Medically I had no problem with this office, but if you are in any sort of time-sensitive situation and/or getting tested at a clinic unfamiliar to this office, the one-secretary setup probably isn't going to be able to handle it, technologically. They don't even take credit cards here.

    I switched to Dr. Roy after a prolactinoma was detected by my MALE PCP. The former PCP wanted to…read moretreat it himself and discussed surgery w/me. I asked if I needed a specialist and he said no b/c his mom had the same thing and so he was familiar with it (wtf?). When I saw Dr. Roy, she was very warm and welcoming. She is also smart and asked about my full medical history including whether or not I flossed! :) She gave me a mini-gynolocical exam and then referred me to an endocronoligst (female) who is the bomb! Since then, I have seen Dr. Roy for a few other things and she is awesome! She doesn't order a bunch of unnecessary tests and is very knowledgeable. Thanks Dr. Roy!!

    I agree entirely with Noel's review. My experience here was…read morea nightmare. Nobody has ever apologized. Definitely not organized or professional service. Everyone is just staring at their iPads and barely taking time to look up and give any follow up advice or a kind goodbye . I still have issues from procedure that was aborted. Terrible care and communication. So disappointing especially after my experience a few years ago with Vein clinics of America. I too would give a zero.

    I had a terrible experience at this location. The techs are also the on-site office staff…read more Billing and scheduling are done through a different location. Predictably, there is lots of confusion. I went to appointments that were cancelled without notification on more than one occasion. Another time I went in for an injection only to find out that my dr was out on medical leave and was replaced by someone else I had never met. I was told that the procedures were approved through insurance and now they are trying to tell me I owe them money, months later. Last time I was there they still had vein clinics of America on signs and everything. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. The one star is because I couldn't say zero.
