Dr. Aquino and her team over 2-4 procedures performed well. I had visited her from March 2025-May…read more2026 to ensure my progress went well and would recommend the doctor. Only one small concern is sometimes if you have to use both the SF Facility and the Daly City one (she has two locations depending on the procedure), ensure your insurance company does not confuse the location as this caused confusion for me, the staff and others (issues about being in network and then a denial, etc.). This was all cleared up. The procedures are all minimally invasive, short, and you are back on your feet almost instantly. The doctor speaks with you during the procedure, time flies and next thing you know it is over. Also the good thing she is a provider that takes PPO, HMO and most others so hope this helps in your search/this review.

COME TO THIS OFFICE! I went to the San Francisco location on Hayes Street. After insurance denied…read morecoverage, I broke down and paid cash to see Dr. Aquino. I am a returning patient from a decade ago--she does not disappoint. She gave a thorough review after returning my phone calls and made the injections PAINLESS. She goes over and above so you get a full treatment. She is super cool and keeps you talking to focus on other things. Adriana comes in afterwards to help put on your compression stockings. Bring your own or buy them there (same price as a decade ago!) Adriana MA is also the office manager as she has been with Dr. A for 15 years. Super cool and answers any additional Q's in addition to post care instructions. Jeff is in the IT dept--fast responder and sends you whatever you need via email! Carmen MA (A-dorable! Always happy & smiling!) also works the front desk and speaks Chinese fluently. Biehn is in the remote call center and returns calls ASAP. This is a tight crew with a high level of service. Tips for first timers: get pre-treatment instructions, wear loose pants (to fit over compression stockings), shower and shave (no lotions! Stockings must stay on for 24 hours), leave extra time for parking if the Hayes Street lot is full. Take the stairs if the elevator is out. If these injections cure the leg pain I will be writing my insurance company! If not, Dr. A is a pro and knows where to refer patients. Managing veins and leg pain is very important work. I am happy to support a local physician who does good work!

In January 2025, I was able to schedule a consultation with South Bay Vascular Center for early…read moreFebruary 2025. A day before the first consultation, I received a note stating "the doctor needs extra time for a procedure," and asked me to reschedule. After rescheduling my appointment to March 2025 for the second week, I received a note two hours before my appointment stating, "The doctor had a problem during surgery and my appointment needs to be rescheduled or delayed." As soon as I called their office, the person answering the phone was giggling before she could greet me on the phone. Ultimately, I had to cancel and am now looking elsewhere. As much as I wanted to choose South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute because of their excellent ratings, if after two cancellations and the way I was treated on the phone is any indication of how their medical treatment runs, I did not want to find out. There is a lot of demand for healthcare in California, especially for small businesses. However, you need to prioritize the customer service and understand that your patients have busy lives. They often rearrange their schedules in order to accommodate the doctors, which ultimately resulted in a 1-star review for you (South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute).
