My veins are worse off since I was treated there! At my last appointment I addressed severe pain and swelling in my ankle (on treated leg). The PA told me there was nothing else they could do for me. Now my varicose veins are uglier and more painful, and I owe nearly $3,000. read more

Was in to see doctor within 15 minutes of appointment time everyone was very friendly and doctor very professional and reassuring

I had a very mixed experience at the Chandler office. I went in for the initial assessment because my legs were waking me up at night. Apparently, the FREE assessment did NOT include the ultrasound, which is the true assessment tool. The doctor was reasonably personable in the inital visit, but hurried. The explanation of the services recommended was a blur, and not readily understood my non-medical professionals. He handed me a brochure and left. The best part of the experience was Mo--so kind, informative and personable. I did schedule the recommended procedures, which were VERY PAINFUL. I worked for a doctor for 7 years, and I am well aware that you have to WAIT for local anesthetic to take effect before you begin the procedure. They did not. The initial procedure did help. I had several and then a reassessment, at which time more procedures were recommended. When I made the appointments for the other procedures, the receptionist said that they were not yet pre-approved by my insurance company. I asked to LET ME KNOW if the approval was not given. No notification was received. I had the remaining procedures, which were denied as "medically unnecessary" by the insurance company. Generally, I am NOT in favor of insurance companies coming between doctors and patients to dictate what treatment can or can not be given. But in this instance, perhaps my insurance company was right. (I ended up paying far more out of pocket than I should have! and UVC was unwilling to adjust the bill at ALL, even though I would have cancelled additional procedures had I been notified that they would not be covered.) In the end, my right leg fared best--but it took 4 months for the swelling and inflammation to resolve, and the overall result is pretty good. My left, however, probably did NOT need the treatments. It has been a year, and I am STILL dealing with swelling and inflammation. I had a lot of pain for months afterward. ALSO, I had an appointment after the last procedure for followup. I wrote that DATE in my calendar, but forgot to record the time. So I went to my patient portal to check the appointment time, and it was nowhere to be found. Apparently, they cancelled my appointment without telling me, and I suspect it was because they knew they did the procedures deemed unnecessary without notifying me that they were denied. I am still have difficulty with my left leg. It only began to improve after I learned about nitric oxide supplementation--which HAS helped, but I am certainly not there yet. I recommend extreme caution with this place. I wish I had gone elsewhere. read more

United Vein Centers - Ugh! It's a factory - get 'em in and get 'em out. The doctor I met with was very rough around the edges. Came in and looked at my xrays and pointed to some things and hurriedly said, "you need this and this." When I asked him questions about what the procedure entailed, he said, "I just told you." He was very impatient and I felt rushed. I did go back to have an ultrasound (I must have been desperate at the time). The tech doing the ultrasound was very professional and nice. But during the procedure, another tech walked in, left the door open and started rooting through drawers looking for something. He started talking to the tech doing the ultrasound, like I wasn't even there. After the ultrasound was done, I was left alone in the room. All of a sudden, the second tech burst in and, again, rooted through drawers. When he left, he left the door wide open - talk about lack of privacy. When I decided not to go back to have a procedure done, the doctor called me to ask me why I had canceled. That's desperation from a company that's not operated well at all. The environment, staff, and doctors are unprofessional and creepy. Stay far away from UVC. Don't waste your money or time. read more

Made an appointment for a free consultation. Was asked to arrive 15 minutes early. Arrived 15 minutes early. 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment time I was taken to an exam room. An hour and 5 minutes after my scheduled appointment time I walked out. Was never checked on, never seen by a doctor. Never asked why I was waking out. Awesome service ya'll! What a waste of time...... read more

Creep vibe! Office is depressing. Staff is unhappy. Doctor gives off those vibes that set my intuition meter on high. If you don't want to be a victim find another place to have your veins looked at. I rolled out of there as soon as possible. Scary, scary, scary!!! read more

I had 6 treatments the Fall of 21 and into the Spring. Most of the time I scheduled early morning so there would be no delay, however if it was anytime after, I was delayed. I just went in for my 3 month post check up and there is a new doctor, Dr. Foghy ( not sure of the spelling.). He is EXTREMELY professional, knowledgeable and made me feel right at home. He is pleasant, well spoken, mannered and punctual. And best of all , I had a middle of the afternoon appointment and DID NOT HAVE TO WAIT!! YES! I will be referring this center to a couple of friends who need veins taken care of! Thanks United Vein and most of all Dr. Foghy!! read more

No way to contact the medical staff directly after vein procedure that was infected and inflamed. Got nothing but fake phone numbers they say are direct to medical doctor at the facility. Instead all calls go to corporate call centers with various locations, transfers of calls, and long wait times. Then they never have a medical person empowered to speak with me as the patient. Also, they try to pack their s hedule for the vein procedures so they get their monthly quota. After the procedure, I had serious problems and needed medical attention that United Vein centers did not provide. I had to go to my personal PCP for treatment and antibiotic and steroids and be referred to a cardiologist which resulted in more tests and fees and to schedule proper dmsurgery for the veins because Ynited Vein did not do their due diligence. Don't go to United Vein and Vascular. My experience was with their office in Peoria of 82nd and Union . They're only interested in you as far as getting to bill you. After treatment they just ignore you and give you a huge run around trying to get followup care. read more

Against my initial gut feeling, I went ahead and scheduled my vein treatments. I read the reviews of this place and decided to go forward with it because the Google reviews were great. I no longer trust the Google reviews and realize yelp reviews are 100% accurate. I had my first surgery and it was a disaster. I was in extreme pain, I was terrified and I felt completely uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to get out of there so I didn't say anything. I did submit a review via their appointment booking letting them know. I can't imagine what they put people through. It should not be this painful and uncomfortable. There are other places that are so much better. I got my treatments completed elsewhere. I still have a scar and pain from my first treatment I got from here. I have a zero scars and zero pain from my other place that I went to. read more

I scheduled my consultation and filled out my paperwork prior to my appointment. I arrived on time to find two other people waiting. I finally got frustrated when an hour passed, and obviously the other two people have been waiting longer. I asked them if they've been there before and they said yes and that it was the same wait time, plus had to wait another 20 minutes when they got in the examination room. I understand the doctor can get backed up, but it's a case of overbooking and poor management, not to mention poor people skills. Not one person that worked there said anything to us in the waiting room or apologized to me for having to leave work an hour early to sit there when I could've been doing something much more productive with my time. read more

If there is a puppy mill for Vein Centers, then the Chandler office of United Vein Centers is the flag ship. The atmosphere in that office is one of unhappy staff, with the exception of Mo who was very personable and professional. After that it falls apart quickly. All I could think about is a "racket". First the Dr. comes in and never did look at my legs. Perhaps he just looked at the pictures Mo took. But I doubt it, in that he was going to wait for the ultra sound results. They advertise a complimentary assessment. What a farce. That is done just to get you into the door. YOU Pay for the ultrasound which is the true assessment. The doctor asked if I needed a refresher on the Venous System and I said, yes. He proceeds to go through this highly technical speech as if he is so tired of giving it. But, moreover, he used so many medical terms that an intern or resident would have trouble following. I felt this was by design. Give the patient as much of this "explanation" as he can just to confuse and overwhelm them. By the time they (most of whom are seniors) leave they would be so confused, they would agree to anything. The Dr. brought up Medicare several times and that they would pay for this. He also stated that one procedure would definitely be covered and it would be less painful. He seemed a bit disappointed that I needed to check with my wife and did not make a decision on the spot. The real kicker was that I left with not one piece of paper or a brochure outlining the procedure and what to expect. I truly feel sorry for the individuals that are going forward. Sort of like the used car salesman! I tried to find the number or address for the corporate office but that proved to be somewhat difficult. I wanted to ask Corporate why this office stays in business. Read all these reviews and you will have a very good understanding of what will or will not happen if you book an appointment. DON'T WASTE YOU TIME. I read the other reviews and they are spot on. That is all you need to know!!! Free assessment my arse!!! read more

I went in for my appointment and I guess the secretary was gone nobody really knew exactly what to do finally got back there and seen the doctor and I explain to him If by chance I need a procedure could you get it done before end of the year because I've already paid my deductible he assured me absolutely no problem..as I was leaving there was another employee there and he said it would take a few days for insurance to clear and they would give me a call and schedule an appointment... weeks had passed never heard anything I ended up calling the center they said had to call me back apparently they found my records and said oh you came in on a day we didn't have a secretary sorry. They had no more appointments I had to go to the Phoenix center that's an hour drive. I let the lady know on the phone I had to have everything done before the end of the year she said yes looks like there's some appointments no problem I drive an hour there had my ultrasound they said I needed a procedure But they have no appointments till after the new year. I explained to her before I made the appointment I asked to make sure I would be able to get an appointment for the procedure before the end of the year and was a sure that I would, she said sorry but no there is no appointments. Total waste of my time and money not happy... what a joke... read more

Waste of time. Very unprofessional and poor management. I had a 9:45am appointment and was on time. I checked in and then I waited 45 minutes before asking how much longer. The receptionist told me another 20 minutes. I had my newborn son with me and said I can't wait longer than 20 more minutes. Naturally at exactly 20 minutes they called me back and said they doctor will be in shortly. I waited 7 minutes before I just left. Absolutely ridiculous to wait that long with poor communication for the long wait time. Don't bother, read the other reviews.. clearly this office has a big issue they have yet to address. Will not be returning to this office. read more

I had 6-8 sessions there for my restless legs. Hasn't helped at all solve the problem. A total waste of time and money. Two hour round trip drive each time. Gave me this paper saying past patients (suckers) have experienced relief for 85%. Doctor has this impressive speech about how it takes many sessions, etc. does nothing. Jeff Lovely read more
