A seriously credible vein surgeon…read more He is honest. He listens. If his recommedation is different than yours he will take as long as you need to explain the choices available to you. You only do what he says after you have considered all of the other options and decided to follow his plan. Side options will always be on the menu - and you will always have alternative choices available. * * * My leg was not standard and it posed major obstacles under the skin. The veins were all convoluted like balls of yarn. It was hard for the doctor to get to where he had to make his changes. Other veins got worked into the deal getting treatments that paralleled those happening in the main operation. Other views were blocking the view and blocking the operation making the procedure complicated and painful The anaesthesioligst who was Dr Brenner himself had to put anaesthesia is some unexpected places. They coundn't get everything frozen or sleepy like they wantd to. So that procedure was far more painful than normal and far more painful than expected. All of the other operations have been normal making them both comfortable and effective. Veins were located in the right place and they did what they were told. So I had three operations on my right leg and a fourth is planned to finish old business. Results: The operation is meant to treat edema. The swellling and adema have gone down much more slowly that would be the case in a normal operiation. The known normal operations have generally had the desired results. My leg that was NOT operated on has also shown improvement That could mean none of my operations did anything However, I am getting fatter and that could make things worse in both legs. So I am inclined to give Dr Brenning credit for the changes in both legs. When the body feels fluid flowing differently in one part of the body, it can steer other parts to make the same innovation. * * * All in all, my operations have been of mixed effectiveness ... But I think Dr Brenner is fine. I think my legs are messy, weird and make it hard for him to work. I see clear and unquestionable signs of improvement. My rate of improvement is slower than what you get in the text books. My read would be if Brenner can get good results with a mess like me - he should be able to do good things for you too. And he does give you choices. You will know what you are choosing an what will happen. Most people are normal and most should have simple wonderful good results under his care.

I am a new patient to Dr. Brennig and went in to get my varicose veins checked out. Both legs the…read moreveins were bulging, pretty good and one leg the foot looked discolored to me. I have gone through two procedures with the doctor the first one was on the lane with the discolored foot and the procedure really helped with the discoloration and the fatigue I was filling in my leg. I went in today for some additional work on the lower part of that leg. I can't wait to do the next leg. Looking back I should've done this a long time ago. Tom Guedea

6 stars+, I need more stars to rate my experience!!!…read more First of all, I had been freaking out over possible bad news from my blood tests the week prior. Apparently, I needed to have a liver biopsy done. All of this coupled with nightmare colonoscopies I've had in the past AND 18 years of dealing with military and VA doctors (I'm recently retired Air Force) and I had already worked into a panic attack and unable to sleep, fearing both the procedure AND results. My anesthesiologist, Mr Tiger, called me the day prior and gave me very informative details and reassurance that the procedure would not be difficult. The next morning, I was going to the room right on time. Mr Tiger made both my wife and I comfortable, and spoke with the doctor to help me start with some medication to ease my nerves. By the time I was taken into the procedure room, I already had another excellent technician start the sonogram, and very soon afterwards my Dr, Dr Suh, introduced herself and again explained the procedure, ensured I was more than comfortable and we talked about personal experiences that we enjoyed to relax. The next thing I know, the procedure was over before I even knew it had really started! Back to my room, and some pain slowly started creeping in. The push of a call button, two pain meds later, and I feel good enough to write this message after meeting a manager, Tammy, and expressing my gratitude for a wonderful experience. I performed Quality Assurance - type work for the Air Force for a long time in my career. Everyone knows that people rarely praise, and usually only complain! Friends, if you have good service and experiences, please take the time to write about it! Employees deserve it just as much as those who deserve complaints, and being recognized does your part to help keep the good people there for us! Thank you Mr Tiger and Dr Suh - your care and professionalism is what all patients and all of society deserves in any setting. God bless! David Russell

Fellow Austinites. Please Boycott Austin radiological associates when considering your imaging…read moreneeds. Ever since they outsourced their scheduling to a call center overseas it is nothing but agony to schedule with them. I know that they would prefer you to not call but I can never access their online scheduling portal even though I allowed their system to choose my password and then dutifully saved it. So, I had two different exams to schedule and even though I knew it was a long shot ( and even said as much to the rep) I waited on hold for almost 30 minutes. I waited because often my phone won't ring anymore ( Santa says he's bringing a new one) and I was hoping for same day, same place. I finally get through and we played twenty questions to get me verified even though my name, phone number, DOB and insurance should be on file. After I explained the situation and what I was hoping for the run around began. She kept repeating the types of exams over and over and naming dates months out but not locations. So if she was looking at open dates she should know which location, right? Why not say so when mentioning the date? Then when questioned why February ( one exam is a screening covered 100%) she claimed it was to do it in one day but still didn't tell me if it was my preferred location or one of their other eleven. This went on for over forty minutes and I could hear a man in the background making comments and laughing. I finally made both appointments, not together, not even this year for the screening so they screwed me on the benefit for next year. It was so bad they even said they had an appointment for the screening at my preferred location this afternoon but when I questioned if they could verify my insurance in that time ( a couple of hours) suddenly she was looking at 2026 and when questioned about that she said they had no appointments before that date next year. So no available appointments until December of 2026? Okay. I was under the impression from having spoken with their corporate office in the past that they only open their schedule a couple of months at a time. It is like this every time you try to contact them, and awhile back I showed up at a location that had my information for almost a month but when I got there they said my insurance had not approved the exam and tried to deny me. I sat on a bench in the lobby, called my insurance company and was told they had approved it within two days of it being submitted but ARA had never followed up. I had to go in and give my phone to the reception so the woman could put in the approval code and verify she was speaking to the insurance rep. Unfortunately I cannot get my images any where else this time but this will be the last time I use ARA. We have private insurance paid for by my husband's employer and they pay out well and rarely ( almost never) deny a claim. These administrative positions should be filled by American citizens in the community as they used to be. People do a better job when they are members of the community they serve. Every time you get routed to Pakistani or Bangladesh they just want to waste your time. I started the forty minute conversation trying to be patient and understanding but ultimately lost it. Especially when I was asking a question and she started speaking over me. I tried to call corporate just to verify she had actually managed to schedule the exams since she couldn't seem to understand the calendar program and how it worked and also find out what I needed to do to access the portal next time and the line kept disconnecting when I pressed one . So I let it ring through to the operator who thought she was that woman Veronica on FB. You know, the one who hangs up on and threatens customers? And I was politely explaining to her because she wasn't the scheduler who was difficult to deal with but she decided to just keep putting me on hold, she didn't even say why the first time. I promise I was being respectful with her even though I had finally lost it with the other woman. Obviously there was an issue but she didn't even have the respect to listen before deciding not to be helpful. Enough is enough. Consider taking your healthcare elsewhere. I spoke with Touchstone but they were also scheduled out too far,and I would need to contact my physicians and have them resend the orders before scheduling. However, I got right through, she listened and empathized and gave me the address and fax number in case I did want to wait until January. I ended up calling my Drs office for one scan because it's pretty critical to see if they even booked the appointment at ARA.

This adulting life is for the birds, the birds. Thankfully this imaging location makes it a bit…read moreeasier. Appointment scheduling was super easy and efficient. Reminders up until day of just in case you forget along with the pre-paperwork completed online. Their door says open at 7am vs Google maps sites that have 8, so I arrived about 5 minutes before the appointment at 8. Got into the back a bit late, with everything else going as planned. Joan way my technician and she was so pleasant and friendly. Made the process less stressful and efficient. She gave clear directions and only had to redo one item. The changing rooms were nice with and according style door with magnets so it's not just a sheet covering the opening like other places. Even the gentlemen who did my checkin was friendly and efficient. Helped to have the prework done.

Absolutely the worst company in Austin. had an appointment for a brain scan scheduled 6 days out…read moreafter my dr placed an expedited order. They said that was the soonest they could get me in. Mind you, this is a brain scan to see if my brain may be bleeding and causing my 15 day fever. They just called to say they overbooked my appointment and the soonest they could get me in was in 3 week. I could be dead by then so I told them to cancel. Going to pay extra for the ER I guess. Again, go with another imaging company if you can; they are absolutely the worst and don't give a crap about their patients.
