Very disappointing experience, especially after initially having a positive experience with this…read moreclinic. I had an embolization procedure on my knee here, and for the first two weeks I felt significantly better. The swelling went down and the pain improved tremendously. Unfortunately, the pain has now returned almost exactly as it was before the procedure. I came back to the clinic because I was concerned and expected the doctor who performed the procedure to evaluate the situation and provide some type of plan. An ultrasound showed a significant amount of fluid around my leg, yet I was basically told, "I don't know what else to do," and advised to see my orthopedic doctor. The only treatment suggested was ibuprofen. I explained that I am experiencing significant pain with basic activities such as walking up and down stairs, sitting, and putting on my shoes. I work long hours on my feet, so this is affecting my ability to function normally. What is most frustrating is that after receiving good care initially, I expected proper follow-up when the problem returned. Instead, I left feeling dismissed and without a clear explanation, treatment plan, or meaningful follow-up. A medical procedure should come with appropriate follow-up care, especially when the patient returns with significant symptoms. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received that level of care today. I hope the clinic takes this feedback seriously, because patients deserve to feel heard, evaluated, and properly cared for after a procedure.

Totonelly, one of the finest medical doctors in the Hudson Valley, with over 30 years of experience. In my first visit to Dr. Totonelly an ultrasound was performed on both my legs which helped to identify damaged veins. I was then very well educated by Dr. Totonelly regarding the varicose vein treatment I was to receive to relieve my vascular problems. I was really happy when my Aetna insurance approved the surgery, called Endovenous Ablation. That surgery was done in the office under local anesthetic and no hospitalization was required. It took approximately 45 minutes per leg, which were surgically repaired with a one week interval between the two surgeries. In both instances I was able to walk without any problems the same day of the respective surgeries. Amazingly, within a couple of weeks after the surgeries I STOPPED FEELING burning and annoying pain in my legs. Dr. Totonelly further advised me about cosmetic Laser spider vein treatment and Sclerotherapy to both legs. I received 4 treatment sessions to address my numerous spider veins. I could not believe it, but the treatments resulted in the complete disappearance of huge brown spots on my legs caused by poor blood circulation. With my spider veins now vanquished, my legs currently have a healthy , young look. I am very pleased to be a patient of Dr. Totonelly and his very friendly, very well trained staff. Dr. Totonelly has such an amazing, compassionate personality. He's a highly trained, highly skilled professional, as well as an incredible human being with a huge heart. He is truly dedicated to his work and he really cares for his patients. I learned Dr.Totonelly not only does treatments of the veins but also does amazing facial and body laser treatments . His great work returns health and youth to people. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Elena.
