Eric, the PA, took his time to educate me about the circulatory system, why veins need to be treated, and the repercussions of not treating them long term. The ultrasound tech was a pleasure to talk to, and the ma was very friendly as well. Speaking to them made me realize how much info was missing from the previous practice I went to. This should be the standard for all medical practices. I live in buckeye and made the drive out here, and it was worth it. Excited to continue my treatments here Initial call over the phone went well so far. The instructions that the scheduler gave me for what to do before the initial consultation was more thorough than the other vascular surgeon's place I went to in peoria. I asked if previous medical records from there need to be faxed over but they said no. Crossing my fingers that everything goes well!

Apparently No Cameras or Mobile Phone Cameras are permitted. And they recommend you leave jewelry at home. Well on this occasion I actually wore my smart watch and still have my phone. Uh oh! Well let's see where that takes us. So this is the second of three anticipated procedures. This day i was impatiently sitting in reception area waiting for appointment to actually be welcomed into the backroom to begin the routine. Since I had gone through the procedure on one leg already I felt a bit more at ease. Did wish I could have been an early morning patient. My man with the Alice in Wonderland cocktails the first time was great. The person handling that job when my right leg was done wasn't quite the same. But overall it wasn't a bad experience. Need to add, the doc has a pleasant bedside manner and I do recall a nice smile as well. Something I said must've made him grin. My legs are showing visible improvement and discomfort from sitting in some seats has noticably diminished.

As someone who was very athletic, it was incredibly difficult and frightening. Dr. Vranic and his office performed multiple surgeries on me, and every time I was treated with exceptional skill, care, and compassion. Because of him, I was able to heal, move forward, and truly live again -- he gave me my life back. I am endlessly grateful for Dr. Vranic and his entire office. Everyone treated me with professionalism and genuine kindness. I especially want to thank his medical assistant, Stephanie, who went above and beyond to support me and my family. She made us feel like family and took incredible care of me every step of the way. I cannot recommend Dr. Vranic highly enough. He is truly the best, and I will always be thankful for everything he has done for me.

I do not recommend Western Vascular Institute if you want empathetic patient care. I went to this…read moreestablishment for 4 total surgeries, 2 of which are incomplete due to my experience and will now have to be postponed till I can find a new vascular center. After paying Western Vascular to assist with my FMLA documentation in order to proceed with my surgery and protect my job, I experienced the worst customer service treatment all due to my FMLA request. They made getting the proper time off extremely challenging as if I was a child requesting unnecessary time off of school. I had many difficulties even getting my FMLA approved in the first place and when I explained that I needed one extra day of recovery (the literal next day after my surgery) due to still feeling pain and groggy from the pain relief medication and lack of sleep. I was scolded by Stephanie and made to feel bad about the amount of medication I was given for my SURGERY as I "should not need that much rest and still be able to work the day after my procedure". Thus, Stephanie directed that next time I have less of my much NEEDED and NECESSARY medication next surgery so I can seemingly work the next day and not ask for FMLA. To my surprise, Stephanie would then notate in my chart that I requested less pain relief for my upcoming surgery as seemingly punishment. A choice that I never gave proper informed consent for. To my knowledge Stephanie was a front desk associate and not capable of making medical decisions without physician approval and was just giving me a hard time because I wanted another FMLA day. Unfortunately for me, my next surgery would be EXTREMELY and UNNECESSARILY painful because I was then given less pain medication during an AWAKE surgery as per Stephanie's request that falsely said I requested it. After explaining to the doctor and nurses what had occurred Dr. Vranic said that Stephanie should not have been able to take on the authority to make medical decisions for me and that he did not care how much FMLA I requested. He stated that the front office told him I asked for 2 weeks off, not one day an utter LIE to make me appear as a difficult patient. Dr. Vranic said he would discuss the situation with the front office, however there has been no resolution or indication anything has been done to rectify this matter. My daughter then proceeded to call Shana, a manager who stated she was the one who helped me with my FMLA documentation and "worked very hard to get me my time off" as if it was such a burden and not their job. Even though the doctor directly told me he would approve 2 weeks off if that's what I wanted. Though, Shana said she worked tirelessly to just get me one extra day off. The discrepancies in this office is insane. I explained to Shana my traumatic experience after experiencing extreme pain and anguish unnecessarily during my second surgery due to Stephanie's punishment. An experience that even made the nurses and doctors feel bad for me while performing the surgery. Shana made excuses and said I agreed to the amount of pain medication Stephanie directed thus there was no punishment that occurred and I simply lacked trust in the office. At no time did Shana seem empathetic or concerned with my patient care solely defending her staffs choices and arguing against any complaint I made. She then directed I not proceed with any of my further treatments that I waited months to receive and delay treatment because I "did not trust the staff". At no time did I receive an apology or was made to feel that anyone cared that I had suffered a traumatic experience, completely avoidable and seemingly retaliatory behavior for asking for another FMLA day. While the doctor and nurses were very carrying and empathetic, the front office staff completely ruined my experience and has no empathy for their patients. On numerous occasions I have heard front desk speak inappropriately about patients while just waiting in the office to be called back. The entire front of the house is full of what appears to be a mean girls club and you will feel that. If this establishment wants any way to salvage their business they need to address the inappropriate and mean-spirited behavior of the front office, after all this is a medial establishment and not a highschool. The professionalism of some of their staff is so poor I am unsure how the doctors allow them to continue working with a vulnerable population.

Dr. Minkus is simply an answer to prayer, and I hope that the upcoming solutions will be life changing for me. There are no guaranties of course, but my optimism has been raised to an unpresidented new level because of this brilliant Genius Doctor, who also has an incredible sense of humor on top of his amazing abilities.

Stay away from this place! My husband was rescheduled for neuro transmitter surgery in his back…read moredue to neuropathy in his feet and ankles. After two prior reschedules, he was on the table with IV in his arm when the Dr Braun decided he needed a release from Mike's cardiologist. Subsequently, the IV was pulled and he was told to come back with a current echo and release from the cardiologist. All that being said, they only perform the procedure once every two weeks which prolongs his continual severe pain and agony. I need to mention that he had a trial run with the implant procedure 2 weeks prior (per the requirement of the device manufacturer) with no mention of a release form his cardiologist. All went well and the device was very effective in monitoring his pain; he was extremely excited to get the final implant and to be pain free. The staff do not return phone calls and when a patient calls the phone message says to send text. When a text is sent there is no response. Not a good way to do patient care!
