Prior to finding the VIP Vein Center, I had visited a general surgeon for an unsightly, annoying,…read morebulging vein on my calf (no pain). They performed an ultrasound, which took over 45 minutes, on one leg only, while lying down (more on that later). I *almost* had a procedure of which I honestly had no idea what they were going to do. I never went through with it; it was a gut feeling. I continued to wear compression stockings, which made my legs feel great, while berating myself for what I thought was simply a cosmetic issue. A year later, still uncomfortable with this vein (I cycle and run and it would bulge further; plus, how does one even consider compression stocking while cycling and running?), I searched and found VIP. Contrast their ultrasound: less than 15 minutes?, both legs, while standing up. THAT made much more sense. Their tech was mighty efficient. When I mentioned how good my legs felt with the compression stockings, Dr. Tandon brightened up. Apparently, I had been dealing with fatigue for years, without ever attributing it to my poor vein circulation. In fact, I attributed it to aging. Takeaway lesson: don't make the same assumption (I am 65). I have been so happy with both legs having had radio frequency ablation, and at the end of all that, removing that unsightly vein with AP and Sclero. It's almost as if that wasn't even the big issue after all. I can attest to how great I feel--able to run, cycle, hike, and more, with no fatigue. Dr. Tandon is kind, intelligent, answers questions, and is very, very skilled in his work. The office staff is friendly and cheerful. It is well worth your time considering VIP Vein Clinic. Your body will thank you for it!

A day before the first consultation, I received a note stating "the doctor needs extra time for a procedure," and asked me to reschedule. After rescheduling my appointment to March 2025 for the second week, I received a note two hours before my appointment stating, "The doctor had a problem during surgery and my appointment needs to be rescheduled or delayed." As soon as I called their office, the person answering the phone was giggling before she could greet me on the phone. Ultimately, I had to cancel and am now looking elsewhere. As much as I wanted to choose South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute because of their excellent ratings, if after two cancellations and the way I was treated on the phone is any indication of how their medical treatment runs, I did not want to find out. There is a lot of demand for healthcare in California, especially for small businesses. However, you need to prioritize the customer service and understand that your patients have busy lives. They often rearrange their schedules in order to accommodate the doctors, which ultimately resulted in a 1-star review for you (South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute).
