1. Please describe your symptoms or complaints before treatment was begun including any limitations or situations you avoided. "Some tiredness in the legs. Shooting pains in affected areas. Psychological worry accompanying this malady. (I was) self-conscious; (what a) heartache. No beach, no shorts, a big damn drag." (C.C.) "My legs felt tired and heavy most of the time. Especially at night they felt uncomfortable. I also had severe leg cramps at night when I'd been on my feet a lot during the day." Gretchen D. (G.D.) "I couldn't wear shorts." Miguel D. (M.D.) "I addition, and found that the spider veins were returning from a ten year procedure that was successful; but, spider veins do return." (C.E.) "Little burning sensation and pain; ugly for people to see my legs." Victor F. (V.F.) "My legs were covered with veins. Not just the large painful veins (which looked like snakes); but, also spider veins all the way down to my feet. I avoided anything that would expose my legs. I guess I'm vain about my veins ...Hah, Hah!" Crystal F.(C.F.) "My legs felt heavy after a long day. I would extend my legs in an elevated position all the time. I tried to avoid high heels." (U.N.) "I had daily pain in my right leg for 11 years. If I had to stand for more than a few hours, it really hurt. Mornings were OK, but by evening the hurt was bothersome. Once on a (week long) sailing trip, others commented on my red swollen ankle. Putting my leg up helped." Robert G. (R.G.) "(I had) very visible blue veins that bulged. I always avoided bare legs, even in the summer. These veins showed clearly, even through dark hose." A.H. "My veins were really bad. Couldn't wear short skirt. That (made me feel) bad. My legs swell up and (feel) heavy (at) the (end of the) day." Sally K. (S.K.) "I was ashamed of my legs because of the varicose veins and spider veins. I didn't want to wear dresses because of the varicose veins and spider veins." Letticia L. (L.L.) "Purple veins and red spider veins visible on legs. Constantly had minor leg pain." Marsha M. (M.M.) "My ankles and feet were swelling and I was feeling pain in my feet." Conrad R. (C.R.) "I noticed that varicosity was in the inner middle section of my leg. It bulged out considerably." Fred S. (F.S.) "(I had a) heavy, tired feeling in (my) legs; and couldn't stand for long periods of time. Moreover, the veins looked awful and I was very aware of them to the point of not wearing shorts or skirts." Pattie S. (P.S.) "(I had) unsightly spider veins." (C.S.) "One day I noticed protruding varicose veins at my calves. For this reason I avoided exposing (them) at all times. I never went to the beach, and never wore short shorts. I almost resigned myself into thinking it could (ever) be eliminated. That was a pathetic thought." Jon V. (J.V.) "Frequently (I) experienced pain while working in my job, which required much time standing. Symptoms improved slightly with exercise, but only temporarily. " Kent W. (K.W.) 2. Please describe any changes you noticed after treatment was started including any life style changes (eg. activities, clothing) you now feel differently about. "I know now I can wear shorts with no concern about my varicose veins." Valentino C. V.S. "Pain is gone. Legs don't feel so old. Shorts not a problem. Dates not a problem. Worry has been lifted off my shoulders." C.C. "The first improvement after the first treatment was no leg cramps at night -a great relief! Also my legs feel much lighter when I walk. The support hose are a whole new life for me because I teach and have to be on my feet hours at a time." G.D. "Initial hours (after treatment) some discomforts. Increased confidence in the appearance of my legs." A.D. "I feel much better. I see the improvement. Now I could wear any kind of clothing." M.D. "I started several treatments; but, had to stop because of pregnancy. I look forward to continuing with Dr. Landau in the fall." C.E. "Feel satisfied with appearance, legs don't seem to tire as easily." V.F. "Well my life was already changing drastically at that very time. This helped me feel better about myself. Better self esteem. Especially when people comment on how nice my legs are. C.F. "I still am very careful of my legs. I do feel better and the veins are not as visible and painful." U.N. "From the day that I wore the special stockings, pain was very small. Then as the treatment started, all pain was gone. As I began walking each day, I found I could enjoy 2 to 4 mile mountain hikes. Now I feel more energetic at the end of painless days." R.G. "(I would say that) mainly the vein treatments eliminated the bulging veins. Now, I can wear more shear hosiery." A.H. " (I) can wear shorter skirts and feel comfortable. Legs are 90% better." Mary Jane H. M.H. "Dr. Landau is very good. All my vein (problem) is gone. I wear short pants and nylon stocking looks Great! I started to walk--Doctor told me to. I feel good and keep my weight (down). I go (on) trips all the time...like cruises...(and) I could wear nice clothing. I'm so happy now." S.K. "When I started the treatment, I felt very happy. I felt very good about myself. I can wear dresses and feel happy again." L.L. "The previously visible veins were diminished or erased. My legs no longer ache." M.M. "The swelling has been considerably reduced and I have less pain in my feet. I wear support hose which helps. I am quite a bit over weight and I am trying to reduce." C.R. "After the treatment of my varicosity, I noticed that the bulges were gone completely, and I say honestly that an excellent job was done, because none of my varicose veins have returned." F.S. "I am able to walk long distances with no discomfort. Standing is not difficult and the 'heavy' feeling no longer exists. Although my legs will never win a beauty pageant, the veins have faded so much that I now wear shorts and skirts and feel comfortable!!" P.S. "...less self conscious about wearing shorts, skirts and bathing suits." C.S. "With Dr. Landau's procedures, my calves are absolutely cleared. He has ' "Varicose veins not apparent on skin, pain eliminated, leg function improved. Elimination of discomfort in standing; performance at work GREATLY assisted. I am now comfortable (being) in shorts." K.W. 3. Other comments that may be of help to others considering vein treatment. "I think it is nice not to have these varicose veins." V.S. "Do not hesitate (to get help). Good for physical and mental well being. Several years ago (I had) surgery for (the) same problem; I was kept immobile for months. With (Dr. Landau's) treatment, I was able to remain active." C.C. "The treatments are not all that bad. You will notice a big difference in the way your legs look - you can wear sandals again." G.D. "Definitely worthwhile." A.D. " I recommend my doctor, because he gives you a good treatment that will make you get better and feel better." M.D. "Only that if anyone has them,don't wait til they are fifty (years old) to remove them - do treatments abut every 5 to 7 years and you'll look good at sixty and on...." C.E. "It's worth it, not as painful as some may think." V.F. "The treatments work! At first, I was skeptical; but, then it just started to work. You have to have patience. The needles really don't hurt, it's just the idea (of being stuck with needles). C.F. "It is important to follow the treatment consistently and be patient." U.N. "The pain during treatment last only seconds...about like a rose thorn when picking roses. Slight pain in exchange for the enjoyment of roses - A GREAT BARGAIN." R.G. "There is no pain involved. Wearing the compression hose did not limit (my) activities as I mainly wear slacks." A.H. "Well worth it." M.H. "I would show you my before and after photos anytime. I never thought (my legs could) get like this before. No pain at all. Thank you Dr. Landau." S.K. "I would recommend (anyone) to get treatment as soon as you get varicose veins." L.L. "Aside from the obvious cosmetic enhancement, the treatments affect blood circulation and helps to eliminate minor leg pain." M.M. I found Dr. Landau to be both knowledgeable and skillful in the course of my treatment. He answered all my questions and showed a genuine concern for my well being." C.R. "I would recommend Dr. Landau to anyone; (and tell them) that my symptoms never (have) returned. I would not hesitate to refer someone to Dr. Landau's medical clinic." F.S. "Don't wait to have your legs taken care of. If I had started sooner, I would have been able to wear things I avoided much earlier in life, not to mention so many water activities that I avoided." P.S. "Don't wait to live your life without self consciousness when this can be so easy." C.S. "If leg appearance bothers you, why not consider vein treatment. Money shouldn't be the factor; self esteem should. Another note, before Dr. Landau treated my legs, I had other prior treatments; but, it always failed because it was always incomplete and would occur again." J.V. "Do not hesitate to seek treatment or at the very least a consultation to educate yourself in ways to address a vein problem. I wish I had sought assistance in my mid twenties when I first noticed this problem. I am currently very pleased with (the) treatment outcome." K.W. |
