I highly recommend PA VASCULAR INSTITUTE. In December of 2017 I had a lumbar corpectomy then a…read morelumbar laminectomy February 2018. Shortly after the second surgery Due to a vascular anomaly I was unaware of "May thurner syndrome" my body formed a massive iliac deep vein thrombosis that stretched across my pelvis down my left leg to my foot. My leg was dead weight, the clot blocked the blood flow back to my heart. Walking from my living room to the kitchen was exhausting. After two failed Stent procedures and failed TPA procedures, the vascular interventional radiologist treating me at Lehigh valley hospital felt if we waited a month and performed another TPA using stronger drugs there was a good chance the procedure would be a success. I waited and although I knew there were no guarantees I was hopeful. I woke up from the procedure approximately 3 hours later to hear the Vascular IR doctor say "it didn't work and I don't think vascular can help you" then walked away. When I contacted the vascular surgeon from LVH I was told there was nothing he could do either. The pain in my leg became intense. I feared necrosis and venous ulcers. I believed God could open a door for me and lead me to a doctor that would help relieve some of the debilitating pain and God did lead me to Pennsylvania vascular institute. Doctor Mike Watts and his assistant Nick stented my iliac vein on June 14 of 2018. The vein is still open and the blood is flowing. Thank you doctor Watts and Nick and God Bless you. I still have back issues but I'm now in PT, taking short walks and I'm seeing my grandkids again!! Linda Rose

Many years ago, medical clinics would ask for our social security number in order to get treated…read more Insurance companies also used it as a patient's identifier. It became illegal for clinics and insurance companies to request a social security number because many were leaked, hacked or even sold by medical clinics, and put their patients at risk of identity theft. Now the less ethical clinics are now demanding to scan your driver's license to keep it in their files in order to treat a patient. Driver's license information can be used to commit identity theft, so that's the same problem as with the social security number. Decent clinics ask to view the driver's license to confirm patients' identity but do not demand a copy of it. This clinic REFUSES TREATMENT if you don't agree to let them scan your driver's license!!! They DO NOT CARE if it is putting you at great financial risk as it was the case with social security numbers. This clinic is rude, unethical, and very disrespectful. Many other places will not ask to scan your driver's license. Do not encourage clinics that are either very clueless about how easily data is stolen at clinics, or they don't care, or they sell your data for profit. Be aware that clinics have to comply with HIIPA regulation, but driver's license information is not protected health information under HIIPA, therefore clinics can do whatever they want with it, that's why it's a very bad practice to give them this information, and ethical clinics that respect their patients do not ask for it. I refuse to deal with such unethical clinics, and if many of you do the same, they'd have no choice but to change their practice.
