I have been had varicose veins most of my adult life, and have had surgical procedures done before with results that took care of some problems but not others. After researching Dr. Brooks credentials ( which I was impressed by) I made an appointment for a consultation. Upon my meeting I did a lot of talking about all my concerns, my discomfort, my self consciousness of my appearance, and my general hopelessness. Dr. Brooks intently listened and then addressed all my questions with patience and great explanation. I really feel he listened and took the time to address everything with great patience I really felt good leaving my consultation and made an appointment after my insurance was approved, which took about five days. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Brooks spent some time with me going over everything one more time, and I was prepped and given a prescribed light sedative by his nursing staff and settled into his outpatient (very comfortable) surgical room. I felt very at ease and comfortable while Dr. Brooks quietly worked on my leg. It has only been a few days but my leg looks and feels amazing. I am beyond pleased with the results.

After brief research I knew he was the one for me and when I stepped into his office and met him, I was right! I had to find a specialist after learning I had a blood clot from my ankle all the way to my groin and it went right up to the deep vein. Doc placed me on Xarelto and kept tabs on me with my ultrasounds. Within a few weeks I was able to get off of the meds and followup. The good news is that after a few months the clot was gone the hit so great news was that the vein was damaged. Solution according to Dr. Levine, a venal ablation. Whatever you say doctor! Had my procedure on Monday and man oh man I have zero pain or discomfort! I tease with my friends and joke that perhaps the doctor forgot to Operate I'm not one for sugar coating nor do I want that with me especially doctors, Doc is straight to the point. I like that!

@@My Journey With Knee Pain -- And an Unexpected Alternative to Knee Replacement…read more Good morning, everyone. I wanted to share my personal journey with knee pain and the treatments I've tried, in hopes it might help someone going through the same thing. The Beginning of My Knee Pain About 10 years ago, I began experiencing serious knee pain. I'm now 67, so it wasn't exactly a surprise, but it was still life-changing. My orthopedic surgeon diagnosed me with bone-on-bone arthritis and recommended a knee replacement. Instead, I started with cortisone injections every three months. For years, those shots worked like magic. Along with physical therapy, knee braces, topical creams, and supportive orthopedic shoes, I was able to manage the pain and live my life. When the Injections Stopped Working Unfortunately, this year everything changed. The cortisone injections only gave me mild relief, and the pain returned long before I could get the next one. I tried: * Hyaluronic acid injections - no improvement * PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections - mild relief for about a month By June, my surgeon and I agreed it was time for knee replacement surgery. He also advised me to stop cortisone injections to reduce surgical risks. I scheduled the procedure and began preparing. A Setback I Never Expected Around this time, I joined this online knee replacement group for support -- but reading story after story of months-long pain and slow recoveries honestly scared me. Still, my pain was unbearable, so I was ready to proceed. Then, the unthinkable happened. I fell off a ladder and suffered a severe injury to my right leg -- the same one scheduled for surgery. I had an 8-inch skin tear, all the way to the bone. My surgeon immediately canceled my surgery, saying I'd need to wait at least a year for the skin to fully heal. The worst part? No more cortisone shots, ever. My skin was now too thin, and the risk was too high. My daily pain level was a 7 or 8 out of 10. I couldn't sleep, walking was torture, and my quality of life plummeted. Searching for Another Option Desperate for relief, I kept researching and came across Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) -- a procedure that blocks inflammation by targeting the tiny arteries around the knee. I asked about it on social media, and a few people shared they had tried it years ago but only got short-term relief. However, the procedure recently received FDA approval, so I decided it was worth investigating. I contacted the San Francisco Vein and Vascular Institute, and Dr. Nathanson was incredibly helpful. After discussing my situation, he encouraged me to give it a try. The Procedure On Monday, I went in for my GAE procedure. The facility was beautiful, the staff welcoming, and the equipment state-of-the-art. The entire procedure took less than an hour. I limped in with a cane... and walked out normally just a few hours later. No sharp pain -- only a dull ache. Over the next couple of days, I experienced mild soreness when standing, but it was nothing compared to before. Today, three days after the procedure, I am 99% pain-free -- no pain medication, not even Tylenol. Looking Back What I once saw as a disaster -- my fall -- turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It forced me to seek an alternative to knee replacement, and I am so grateful I did. I know GAE may not be permanent, but it can be repeated if needed, and by then, there may be even more options available. Today, I am deeply thankful to Dr. Nathanson and the San Francisco Vein and Vascular Institute for giving me my mobility and my life back. If you're struggling with knee pain and looking for alternatives, it may be worth exploring GAE. I'll continue to update my journey in the weeks ahead. Good luck everyone.

Only one small concern is sometimes if you have to use both the SF Facility and the Daly City one (she has two locations depending on the procedure), ensure your insurance company does not confuse the location as this caused confusion for me, the staff and others (issues about being in network and then a denial, etc.). This was all cleared up. The procedures are all minimally invasive, short, and you are back on your feet almost instantly. The doctor speaks with you during the procedure, time flies and next thing you know it is over. Also the good thing she is a provider that takes PPO, HMO and most others so hope this helps in your search/this review.

I'm really happy with how everything went, and my hope is that my leg won't feel the dull pain and achiness from blood not flowing properly.
