- What made you choose us?
- Article in paper & free consultation – the training/background & # of procedures done.
- What symptoms were you experiencing?
- While running, experienced heavy legs, some cramping – severe hyperpigmentation on inside ankles.
- How were you affected by your legs previously? What couldn't you do? How has that changed now?
- More difficult when training for long runs/half marathons, heavy legs, some cramping & hyperpigmentation was advancing toward possible ulceration. My work requires being on my feet for 8 hours/day. Had to wear compression dress stockings as well as when going on runs had to wear my sport compression stockings. I no longer feel heaviness in my legs while running, no longer have to wear my sport compression stockings while on runs!! No more cramping, varicose veins began to disappear, no more fatigue after long days on feet. Hyperpigmentation has begun to reverse, dark color has faded & looking much better.
- What improvements have you seen in your legs?
- Less fatigue, no more heavy leg syndrome, no more cramping, a great improvement on varicose vein appearance & hyperpigmentation – more natural color returning.
- Additional Comments: What did you appreciate? What makes us different than other medical clinics? What could we have done better to exceed your expectations? What changes would you like to see?
- The care & focus on my condition, explanation of procedures, follow-up, the expediency of gathering my insurance to cover the procedure. Great staff all around – I really recommend your practice to those who may need it!! I'm so happy to have my running legs back under me!! The cosmetic appearance has improved greatly as well as knowing I will avoid future complications of ulceration possibly if I hadn't had the procedure done. Coming in one late Friday after the first leg done, some upper leg complications & staff had left, but Dr. Gupta took me in to do a scan to verify no clotting & rescheduled to have some trapped blood that instantly relieved my pain/complication!

Samantha Shelton
I had a real good Christmas and one thing that really made my Christmas so great was you, Dr. Gupta. Because of you and your staff taking such good care of my legs. Because of your good work on my legs, I was able to walk all over the place when we went Christmas shopping. You don't know how nice it is to go to Wal-Mart or wherever and be able to walk all over the store and not have your legs hurt.
Before I started coming to you I couldn't walk without my legs hurting so bad. My legs would hurt so bad that I would stay at home or in the truck. My mom said you can go with me and I would push you in a wheelchair. But I didn't like to ride in a wheelchair because I didn't like for people to stare at me. And now thanks to you Dr. Gupta I don't have to worry about that anymore. Because I have one of the best Drs. in the state of Missouri. Probably in the United States. Because you are the best. You all are so caring and understanding. And the girls always call the next day and ask how I am doing. Anyway, I want to thank Dr. Gupta and the Staff.
God Bless everyone.
