Alsara Clinic has been a great answer to my problems. And I was at my breaking point.
I came to Alsara Clinic because I was having some difficulty with my legs. They were very swollen and itchy and I had tried for two years everything from topical creams, shots, different types of medications, and nothing was getting rid of it. So I came here as a last resort to see if there was anything that Dr. Gupta could do for me.
When I came to Alsara for my mapping experience, I was very excited, and the tech that did my ultrasound was very friendly. When I had my procedure done, the room was very comfortable. I was able to relax and rest, and knowing that the staff was going to take care of me. Dr. Gupta came in and explained the procedure, and it went very well.
Since treatment, I don’t have any of those symptoms at all. I can work my bartending job and be on my feet all day and I don’t get that tired feeling anymore. I don’t have the aches; I don’t have the itching; I don’t have any of those urges anymore. I’m very thankful. And I can walk. The day that it was done, I didn’t stop going to work. I didn’t sit around the house. I stayed active. A week later, it’s like it never happened.
The staff here are amazing. They’re always nice and friendly, above and beyond; whether it was questions or assistance. I was having trouble getting compression socks in St. Joe, so the staff called around to Kansas City, and about the seventh place, they were able to locate a place that I could go to get the supplies that I needed. They could’ve just said, ‘you’re just going to have to order them and wait three or four days’. I didn’t want to have to wait. They go above and beyond, and that starts with your receptionist clear through to the techs, and definitely Dr. Gupta. I’m very blessed to have come here and had the treatment done.
I plan on taking my son to Disneyland next month, and as soon as the other leg heals, I’ll go get some capris and we’re going to go to the beach!
For anybody that has any type of Restless Leg Syndrome, spider veins, varicose veins, swelling, edema, anything, it’s a free consultation so why not try and see if Dr. Gupta can help you. Even for someone without insurance, the treatments are definitely affordable. It’s worth it. It will change your life.

President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). His diagnosis has sparked renewed interest in this common yet often overlooked condition. Many patients are now asking important questions: What is CVI? Is it serious? Who gets it? How is it treated? Let’s dive right in.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which the veins in the legs don’t function properly, making it difficult to pump blood back to the heart. This leads to circulation problems and a variety of leg symptoms.
In the early stages, symptoms may be subtle such as heaviness, fatigue, aching, throbbing, itching, or burning in the legs. As the condition progresses, due to inadequate blood flow to calf muscles patients may experience leg cramps (often called “Charley horses”) or restlessness at night (Restless Leg Syndrome).
Without treatment, CVI can worsen and lead to leg swelling, skin discoloration, bleeding varicose veins, recurrent skin infections, blood clots and poorly healing sores (ulcers)
How Common is CVI?
CVI is extremely common, affecting 10–35% of adults in the U.S. Both men and women are at risk, but women often develop symptoms earlier due to pregnancies and hormonal changes. In fact, nearly 40% of women over age 50 have some degree of CVI.
Risk factors include family history of vein disease, age and prolonged standing or sitting
Treatment of CVI
In the past, treatment for CVI often required invasive vein stripping surgery in a hospital, followed by a long and painful recovery. Thankfully, modern medicine has transformed vein care.
Today, CVI can be treated in the comfort of an office setting with minimally invasive procedures. Diseased veins are safely closed, restoring healthy circulation. Patients typically return to normal activities immediately with no downtime, and minimal discomfort. Many notice improvements in their legs as soon as the next day.
A quick, painless duplex ultrasound can diagnose CVI, and your vein specialist will review personalized treatment options. Almost all insurance plans including Medicare cover treatment of symptomatic vein disease.

During the initial stages of varicose veins, patients usually have mild symptoms, which are experienced more toward the end of the day. The onset of symptoms is often very subtle, so much so that many people forget how their legs felt before they had problems. As the condition worsens, symptoms become more noticeable.
The initial signs and symptoms may include:
Aching
Burning or numbness
Cramping or 'Charley horse'
Heaviness
Itching
Leg pain
Restlessness in legs
Tiredness
Swelling in feet ankles and calves
Left untreated, may result in skin discoloration, bleeding veins, sores that heal poorly, and blood clots.
Over time, the symptoms will worsen and could result in skin discoloration, sores, blood clots, frequent skin infections, and bleeding.
It might be surprising to learn that restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, swollen ankles, ulcers, varicose veins, and spider veins could all be symptoms of vein disease. We've helped thousands achieve relief with in-office treatments.
