I was recommended to come here by my physician. I’ve had some problems with my legs and I decided to come here [Alsara Vein Clinic] and see if I could get helped. I’m disabled now. I’ve had a liver transplant 12 years ago. I was having some problems with my legs swelling and discoloration and things. And I have diabetic neuropathy. And it really got down to the point where my legs just couldn’t take the pain anymore.

Well, each year it’s gotten worse and worse, and I just get down to the point where I have to sleep in a recliner, and then I prop my legs up even higher than that, trying to get the swelling down. And I was having an awful time, you know, sleeping in the recliner.

And, so, I decided to come here and see if he [Dr. Gupta] could take some of the pain away, you know. I know he can’t get rid of everything, ‘cause it, you know, it’s just not going to happen. I know that. But anything is better than nothing! That’s the way I looked at it.

And he did an awesome job, I believe, you know, and that’s all that really matters.

They really made me feel welcome. They explained everything: why they were doing it; how come; and this and that; and what they were doing. And it really made me feel comfortable, you know, to see that and understand it. And that [means] a lot to the person, you know.

My priorities [were]: get rid of some of the pain that I had, and being able to tolerate it, you know. I’ve lived in pain all my life and I’m tired of it, you know. I mean, a person can only deal with so much. But ah, no, that’s probably about the highlight – the results.

You know, I was more than impressed. Well, I mean it’s just a 100% change around. When I first came here, you know, my legs really hurt bad. And [Dr. Gupta] explained what he was gonna do, and if he couldn’t make any results, he wasn’t gonna do anything, and I understand that. But he felt that he could ease some pain to me, and he did. And now, each and every day gets better.

I hadn’t played pool in 15 years. And now, I’m able to go play pool for a couple of hours a day. And, to me, that’s quite a bit, you know, ‘cause I enjoy that. Yup. Yeah, it really is awesome, trust me! You ain’t [got] nothing to do all day – and now, you got something to do now, you know.

So I would definitely recommend people – if they have [leg] problems – to come here. And if the doctor can’t help you, he won’t; and if can, he will! And to me, he’s awesome. He’s helped me tremendously. Yeah.

I am a grandma. Adeline is my littlest granddaughter. She’s 16 months old. And I have three other grandchildren – all girls.

I decided to come to Alsara [Vein Clinic] because I was experiencing pain in my left leg. And I was experiencing swelling [edema] around my ankles and in my legs.

My daily activities included a lot of walking and running after the grandbaby. And in the evening time, I would get very tired with my legs. And when I sat down to raise them up, then they would hurt, and I’d have to switch them back all the time, back and forth. So, I knew that that wasn’t a normal thing.

I thought the clinic was extremely clean, efficient. All questions were answered. Everyone was very friendly. It was just a pleasant experience. The other thing that I noticed was that I got a lot of information. And my sister-in-law came with me the first time that I got the first leg done, and she had been through the same process with a Kansas City doctor. But she got information coming with me that she didn’t have with her own doctor. And then, last Wednesday, I spoke to a church friend, and she was having something done here in town – similar – and then Saturday I asked her how she was feeling, and she said she was having a little pain in on leg. And I said ‘did they tell you about ice?’ She said ‘no’. And I said, well, ‘go ahead and use ice’. So, just a lot of information is given for care, for aftercare, that I don’t think some of the other doctors give their patients.

I’m very happy that I had it done. I’m glad that I decided to take care of what needed to be taken care of. And I’m happy that it’s resolved.

It has changed my life in the fact that I’m able to run around more after Adeline, and stay on my feet, not experience the discomfort of the evening time when I put my legs up to finally rest.

I would advise anyone that was having leg discomfort or pain in their legs to seek treatment and get an idea as to what could be going on, what the problem is, and then follow through with it, because it’s not painful, it doesn’t hurt, and everything’s resolved in just a short amount of time.

I like getting out and taking care of animals and kind of things like that. But as far as really doing anything, I’ve never been able to do it because of my legs, so.

I came to Alsara Vein Clinic because I’ve been having trouble with my legs with terrible, terrible leg cramps. And I went to my Primary [Care Physician] and she set me up to come to see Dr. Gupta, and that was the best thing I’ve ever had done for me. He is just a fantastic doctor.

Ok, I’ve had leg cramps for 30 years. And I’d get out and try and do something and I’d have to stop because my legs hurt so bad I couldn’t stand to walk. I got to where I couldn’t stand to sit. You know, you’d get out and walk, stop, you’d sit and stop, all day long. It was just awful.

The cramping felt just… it was something you could hardly stand. It was like somebody putting your leg in a vice and squeezing. And that’s how bad it was. When I came to Dr. Gupta, he took care of that, and since then, I have not had one leg cramp at all, and it’s just fantastic.

Well, my first impression was, you know, it’s a nice building, it’s clean, and that’s a plus. I’ve been to a lot of doctor’s offices before where you just feel out of place; you don’t want to go there. But this [Alsara Vein Clinic] is just totally opposite. I come in, you know, it’s like being at home.

Oh, the staff’s fantastic. As soon as you walk through the door, they’re there to greet you and treat you like, you know, you’re a normal person. I’ve gone to a lot of doctors where, you know, you just go in, you sit down, you get stuck in a corner and you sit there and wait for an hour before they call on you. So the staff is just fantastic here.

When I first met Dr. Gupta, I can tell instantly whether I like somebody, whether I can trust somebody, and I knew at that instant he was a good person and he was a good doctor. He is somebody, you know, you like being around, and I think he’d be a good friend, too.

Well, when I first come here, I really didn’t know what I was looking forward to because I’ve never been to a place like this before. But after comin’ and listening to everybody here – the staff and the doctor – I knew I was in good hands and something was gonna be done to help me.

Oh, I couldn’t wait until they’d done the surgery. It was just something, you know, I knew was gonna help me. And after seeing the doctor, I knew it was gonna do something.

The treatments were… I felt a little sting, but as far as hurtin’, no, it didn’t hurt at all. There’s just a little pressure and that’s it. There was no pain whatsoever. And I’ve had both legs done. I just… my legs feel like I’ve got new legs! I don’t have any leg cramps anymore. I can walk better. So it’s really improved by 100%. Oh, it’s made me to where I can get up out of bed. I can get out and walk. I can’t mow yet, but, you know, I’m doing things that I haven’t been able to do for 30 years, and that really inspires me. This is just a great place.

If anyone’s watching and they have leg cramps, I’d like for them to come and see Dr. Gupta and really seriously [consider] having this treatment done. It does help 100%.

I was born and raised in St. Joseph. I work at Missouri Western State University. I have two children and six grandchildren.

I had had pain in my leg for quite some time. I had been to my primary care doctor and [was] told that I had phlebitis. They would give me medication and it would never completely go away. It finally got to the point that I began to worry whether or not I had a blood clot, because it was very sore to touch and it was a bit warm. So I went to an urgent care clinic and was told ‘no, it’s not a blood clot’ and sent home. And I just felt like there was something else going on.

And so – after my friend had been here and had such a great experience – I thought maybe this is what I need to check out. So I made an appointment and came in for a consultation and, sure enough, two blood clots were found the day that I was here.

The two big things that I noticed with my problems that I had in my leg were: it was very painful to touch. It would also be sore in that area. Sometimes, when I walked, I would have pain. And then at night I had terrible leg cramps, and I would have restless legs. They would be twitching all the time.

The pain in my leg would bother me quite a bit when I would be driving or sitting for a long period of time. And I have to travel a lot for my job. And there were times my leg would just be so sore just sitting in the car.

Well, when I first heard about it from my coworker, and she was explaining how you had helped her and what a positive experience that she had had, I started thinking ‘you know, maybe that’s what I really should check into and see if that might be able to solve my problems. If I came to you, I could find out for sure what was going on with my leg. And so, of course, I was a little apprehensive coming, and I was apprehensive with the treatment, but honestly, it was not a big deal at all, and it was so worth doing it.

I would say that my experience from the first time I walked in the door until now has been very positive. Everyone has been very professional. The staff I consider friends, as well as the people who are taking care of me. Dr. Gupta has been excellent in educating me and making sure that I was comfortable. And I’ve always been encouraged to be back in touch if I have any concerns about any issues with my legs.

The outcome from my treatment has been that I am able to go to sleep at night knowing that I am not going to wake up with any cramping in my legs. I have no problems with the restless legs anymore, and it’s just nice to be able to relax. The biggest change it’s made is that I am able to sleep at night, and get a good night's sleep, and not have to worry about waking up because of cramping.

Not only would I recommend that someone with vein problems come here, but I have recommended someone with vein problems come here. We were having a conversation about the problems in my legs and the problems in her legs, and she hadn’t really considered that it could be a vein issue. And since then, she has gone for treatment, as well, so.

Well, the first impression was no wait time. And the staff was tremendous, very helpful. You know, they led me to where I needed to go. They answered all my questions. It was just an awesome experience coming here versus some of the other places I’ve had to go to where there’s a wait time.

The reason I came was, as a typical male, I let my condition go. I had a history of varicose veins in the family. I’ve had a couple of sisters that have had some treatment done. I stand at my job all day long. I had to wear compression stockings because I realized I was starting to get some hyperpigmentation, some discoloring in the ankles. My legs started to really hurt me. I started to feel like they were getting really heavy. I was getting cramping at night, even cramping during the day when I’d be out running. I’d have some severe cramping in the calves, so I knew that if I wanted to stay active I needed to get this taken care of.

I knew that it was an issue and I needed to take care of it, having a family history of varicose veins, having a couple of sisters that had the procedures done. Mine were visible, so I knew I had to take care of my legs.

The recovery was quick. I mean you’re up and moving around the same day, so, I mean, you can’t ask for anything better than that. So when I run, I used to use athletic compression stockings just below the knee. Now, I don’t even use those anymore. I don’t have to. I don’t experience the calf pain, the cramping.

One of the things on my bucket list is to run a marathon before I get too old. I’ve completed three half marathons, so that’s on my bucket list and I would like to complete that.

I learned not to wait when you have problems with your legs. Put your pride behind you, come in, get the free consultation done, get your legs fixed, and it will be a whole new world for you.

It’s like I’ve got a new set of legs. t my age, that means a lot. I can continue to golf, hunting activities, run, and not have those issues anymore.

On the golf course, when my brother-in-law, who's a physician, took a look and said ‘wow, I’m going to have to get my legs done’ (because he has a similar situation), too. Yeah, my wife said she does notice the fact that my legs look a lot smoother, better color, and I don’t complain about my legs anymore.

I was having a lot of discomfort with my legs. I had one very large vein that was very unpleasant looking for me. But the worst part was the tightness in my leg and cramping. It was keeping me awake at night. I was losing sleep regularly. Whether I was sitting, standing, I would get leg cramps. It was genuinely miserable and affecting the quality of my life.

The absolutely best part, I think about it, was the explanations. Again, that goes back to the ‘professional but kind’ that you do here. So often in a medical setting, they’ll explain something, but you just go ‘uh huh, uh huh’. But here, the explanations are down to earth, and they are walked through so carefully. And you don’t feel intimidated, so if I had questions, I would certainly ask. But, I understood what this procedure was going to be completed before it was done, and during, so that was excellent.

It’s been overall a pretty super experience. I have benefitted from it. It has certainly improved the quality of my life. And now I’m ready to get the other leg done, ‘cause I want a matching pair!

I would recommend this [leg treatment] for anyone. It’s been just an overall first-class experience.

The staff here, it’s a lovely bunch of ladies. I was charmed. I felt quite spoiled. My desire to get coffee as soon as we were done was met with – somebody brought me a coffee – it was just nice little touches! And when you walk in the door, that hello, that smile is always consistent. I’m sure they must have bad days like the rest of us but they do not let it show with their patients!

It's definitely, really improved my quality of life. Everything I love to do – whether it’s gardening, exercising, traveling – the treatment here has improved that. I’m ready to get my other leg done. I would encourage anybody to do this. It has really made my life so much more enjoyable, and I do get much better sleep, which is good for me and good for the people I care about.

I would certainly recommend anyone to come here to Alsara [Vein Clinic]. Just come and talk. You know, you don’t have to make that commitment, which was very good for me because, as I said, I had some previous ideas that were not correct. Just coming in and talking to the staff here is going to get you the information you need to make informed choices. That’s what I like to do – I like to make informed choices. And I got all the information I needed here, and I made my own choice, and I was very happy with that choice.

It is wonderful on a life journey to get the medical care that you need. As a person that is aging somewhat, I am more aware of what I need physically to support my travels and my journeying and just my everyday life. So having come here, I consider this one of my supports. When I need any help or assistance in the future, I will certainly come here because that’s what ‘life’s a journey’ is about. My personal motto is ‘it’s better to travel hopefully than arrive’ and I’m happy to partner with Alsara to make that trip.

Gardening is one of my passions and that was very uncomfortable before. So I love gardening. I love being able to walk my dog – I’m not sure who's walking who – but I can keep up with her a little bit better now. Just to be able to sit comfortably. That sounds rather simple, but if you want to sit and relax and read and you can’t, because you’re constantly aware of this twitching, and swelling, and uncomfortableness in your leg, that detracts from having a leisurely, relaxing time. So if anything, I would say, I can relax better now.

The main outcome I’ve had from my treatments is no pain. I expected to live the rest of my life in pain because of the failed treatments I’ve had in the past. And now I’m able to do anything I was before. My legs feel like when I was 20 – and I’m not 20!

I spend a lot of time standing on my feet. The reason I came here is that I’d had a couple of other treatments in Kansas City at clinics down there, and while they helped a little bit, the remedy was only temporary. And, to be honest, I’d more or less given up. I just figured that was the way it was going to be for the rest of my life. I would just have to deal with the pain and the cramping in my legs.

I came in here just hoping that something could be done, and everyone was really positive, and Dr. Gupta said they would be able to help me. And sure enough, they have, and I feel much better.

There was something about Dr. Gupta that made me feel that there was hope. I asked him ‘I want you to be honest with me. Will you be able to help my legs? They’ve had a couple of treatments.’ And he said ‘I would not tell you that we could help you unless I’m sure we can’ and he said that they could, and he was right.

I was anxious to get the treatment done. I wanted the pain to stop. And [during the procedure] there was really no pain at all. It was just a little bite or twinge as they would insert things into my leg. But, no, it was not painful at all. I would not let the fear of pain to keep someone from coming in here because it was not a painful procedure at all.

I did not feel a great deal of pain. I was more curious about what they were doing, particularly when they turned on the laser and I was able to see my leg glow. Haha! It was interesting! Whoa, my leg! My wife was in the room with me – my leg was glowing! The amazing thing, though, was when it was done. I got up and I was able to walk out of here, and instantly my leg felt better.

My legs are 100% better. I mean I have no pain. [My legs] do not keep me up at night. My legs do not cramp. I have Dr. Gupta and his staff here to thank for that. I mean my legs feel 100% better.

I could not be more positive about the experience I had here. My expectations were more than met. The staff was friendly. My treatments were timely. The doctor took the time with me to tell me what the procedure was so I would know what to expect. He talked to me through the entire procedure so I knew what was going on, which I appreciated. They followed up. They helped me to schedule appointments. They called me and made sure that my recovery was going well at home. So I’m totally pleased with the experience here and would recommend it to anyone.

Before, when I went to the other clinics, I thought the treatment was basically limited to Sclerotherapy, which was the shots. I did not know that there were other therapies involved, that laser therapy was a procedure that could be used. And so when I heard about it, I didn’t know – because some of my veins had been partially treated – that that would be an option for me, and Dr. Gupta informed me that it was. And so, yes, I learned more about varicose veins than I had been told at other clinics. So, yes, I did learn a great deal.

Dr. Gupta is an amazing man. He has a tremendous sense of humor, and that really helps during your treatment process. He puts a smile on your face as he’s treating you, which is amazing, as someone is poking around your leg, that he is able to do that. I’m also impressed with his knowledge and his skill at what he does. It’s amazing that he is able to treat my veins and to do it in a painless way. I cannot say enough about him.

The staff is phenomenal. They go out of their way to do everything they can for you. They assisted me. They answered questions. They treated me like a friend as I came in. They always have a smile on their face. They seem to be very approachable. They’re a very good bunch of people. He should be proud of the staff he has working for him. I’m sure that he is.

I have recommended Dr. Gupta to other people. Yes, I would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone who is experiencing any leg pain. It costs nothing to find out. The consultation is free. Why not come in and have your legs checked out. When they describe their legs are aching or cramping, I would recommend that they come in and have them checked out.

Alsara [Vein Clinic] has made a difference in my life journey because I’m able to do the things that I’ve always wanted to do now. I can walk. I can go places. I don’t have to deal with the nightly pain that I had before. And so it has greatly improved my life journey. I can walk now without any pain, and that’s always been something that I have a passion for is walking. We go to a senior gym and I’m able to do that and exercise fully, and I don’t have any problems. I’m able to do what I want to do without my legs bothering me, and that’s made a world of difference.

We’re a dog family. We had a bearded collie before, a greyhound, and we walked him every morning on Faraon [St.], regardless of the weather. And now that we have a new dog, we’re resuming that activity. The difference is: I now do it pain-free.

I had heaviness, [leg] pain, a lot of movement in my legs, which they call ‘Restless Leg Syndrome,’ and it would bother me at night mostly.  And since I’ve been coming here, he’s done a great job on me, a great job!

Now I can ride in a car or plane without the aching that was before.  I sleep much better.  I don’t have restless legs or aching, so it is great that I can sleep without moving my legs all the time.  I’m so glad and I can walk without hurting.

The treatments were very easy.  I didn’t have any pain, and I was very comfortable with the way the doctor did [the treatment].  I didn’t feel anything.

I came here because you’re right here in St. Joe.  I didn’t have to travel 30 minutes to Kansas City.  I’ve been to two different [clinics]and this [Alsara Vein Clinic] is the best.  I think it’s much better.  [You’re] friendlier than the other places I’ve been.  The doctor is very, very nice, very kind, and he explains things thoroughly.  I really like him.

I have inherited this vein disease from my mother and my father.  My mother had her [veins] stripped at least two times that I know of.  She always had trouble with her legs.

I started noticing them in my sixties because I walked about five miles every day.  I think that helped the circulation in my legs. But then I got kind of sick and I couldn’t get up and do what I normally did, and my legs really started hurting.  It was very uncomfortable.

The doctor was very thorough.  He would explain things so you could understand them He would take time to answer your questions.  It was excellent.  Recovery was excellent.  You have a little bruising sometimes but that all went away, it was very satisfying.

I was on a plane ride last year and my legs didn’t ache or anything like they had before.  I can walk the dog a little farther now. He wants to go, so I got right behind him, and my legs are not hurting while I’m walking him.

My whole experience with the clinic has been wonderful.  I would tell everybody to come here.  The staff is wonderful.  The doctor is wonderful.  I just really like it here.

He’s a very kind doctor, he’s very concerned about how it feels, ”are you uncomfortable", he’s very concerned about how you are taking the treatment.  So, [I’m] very satisfied with him.  Dr. Gupta was very easy on me.

I love the staff.  They’re so friendly and helpful.  I have a lot of fun with them when I come.  I’m very satisfied.

I would absolutely recommend this clinic to people with vein problems.

The symptoms that I had is I was struggling with varicose veins since I was in high school, and they just progressively got worse. I was having lots of swelling in my - it was mainly my right leg - I was having lots of swelling in it. Walking, it was throbbing, and I just could not tolerate much, I mean, being in an upright position very much.

I was pregnant with both of my children and ended up having blood clots with my first child, and then I had vein stripping after each pregnancy. And the vein stripping procedure was just very painful, and I wasn’t really wanting to do it again. But then, 10 years later, I was having increased problems again and decided it was time to do it. So I had seen a where this place was doing the laser and I thought ‘well, I'm going to give it a try’ and see if it was any better.

It affected my daily routines. I finally started wearing compression garments, which helped, but still by the end of the day, they were tired and sore and throbbing. And if I was up walking a lot during the day, which I do anyway with my job, then they were just swollen and throbbing and very heavy and painful.

I was feeling nervous about coming through and doing it again because the vein stripping procedure was such a hard procedure to go through. And so I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to go through anything like that again. But I knew that I couldn’t continue to have the heavy leg syndrome and just being in pain every day, so I was really kind of questioning whether laser could take care of it because I had to have the vein stripping before, so I was really kind of second-guessing whether it would even work.

I felt very comfortable after meeting Dr. Gupta. He was very calm and easy to understand, and he explained the whole procedure; explained what was going on in our vein system, um, very compassionate man. I’m just very pleased that I was able to meet him, and I was just really pleased with how he presented himself and how he presented what was was wrong, you know, what could be wrong with me. I hadn’t had the ultrasound done yet, but, just explaining the process of how veins work, so I was very comfortable with staying here and having the procedure.

Everyone was so friendly and inviting and caring. I didn’t feel out of place at all. The atmosphere was just really nice. It was a really pretty office. It was nicely kept clean. So I just really enjoyed walking in the door.

The staff is very friendly and very warming, and I just felt very comfortable coming in here and doing anything with payments or just getting my appointments. It’s easy. They call me to remind me of appointments, and I just can’t say enough about the staff. They’re fantastic people.

I was very pleased to find out that insurance did cover it.

The treatment and recovery were very easy, very good. After the procedure here, I was able to go right back to work, walk, do anything that I was wanting to do. I was very happy with the treatment afterward. The recovery was extremely fast versus the stripping. I was up and going the same day, whereas the stripping, I was down for almost a week and in a lot of pain. I just had mild discomfort during the procedure and that was it. I was up and out walking, and I was surprised that I was able to get out and going that fast.

Now, I can travel, I can fly, and I don’t have any pain at all or any increased swelling right now. [I’m] just ready to enjoy my life and get out there, and I’m extremely grateful for Alsara Clinic.

I am very grateful for finding Dr. Gupta. I feel like I have more freedom in my life. I can go out. I can work out. I can run without feeling the heaviness in my leg or increased swelling. I was extremely surprised by how the procedure went and how easy it was to do, and how much better I felt at the end. So I am very pleased with Dr. Gupta and his staff, with the procedure. And I would highly recommend if you have any kind of vein issues just to come in and get it checked out.

I would highly recommend anyone with a vein problem to come to Alsara Clinic to get it checked out and get a recommendation on how to help them. I mean, it’s a fantastic place and I can’t say how much I appreciate everything that they have done for me. To know that there is hope out there – that there is a procedure that does not include stripping of the veins – is fantastic. I mean, I’m extremely happy that I came.

It has made a difference in my journey just because now I can get out, and I can go to all of my children’s sporting events, and walk around all day and not have increased swelling in my leg. When I get home, it’s not throbbing. I can continue to come home and do my laundry, and clean the house, and do everything that I can do. I’m not sitting down and trying to prop my leg up, saying that ‘hey, I have to get off it’. Whereas, before, if I had activities all day long, I would be going home and elevating my leg ‘til the throbbing would go away. Now, I can go to all the sporting events, come home, maybe go work out, or come home and finish all my house activities, and I am feeling great.

I’m a cardiovascular tech and I’ve had some leg and feet issues ever since I was about 18 years old. And so, throughout the years, I have tried to find what the issue was; what was causing the problem. That is when I learned about your clinic.

Many treatments that I have tried, we went into lab work to x-ray, we’re never able to find the problem in anything. I had waited several months, kind of let things go to see if my doctor would end up doing any more testing. That was another great reason whenever I came here for my consultation, that we were going to go further here. Once you guys did my ultrasound, that is when Dr. Gupta said that I had some issues and he wanted to try the treatment. I have a lot of relief in my legs now.

Once I was billed with my insurance, I was very surprised that there was little cost to me.

I was a little bit nervous whenever I made the appointment and we were going to continue with the treatment. But the more that Dr. Gupta explained to me with very great detail, I felt more and more comfortable, and I was ready to make the appointment and go further with it. My first impression that I had after Dr. Gupta had said that we were going to try the laser procedure, that I felt a little bit of relief and I had great hope that I would be able to be active again.

Actually, for the treatment – laser procedure – there was no pain, [a] quick recovery, and I also had quick relief of all of the symptoms that I was experiencing. I would say, once the recovery process – about after 3 days – I could tell a difference. I would say, give it about one week, and I felt a major relief. The main thing after the treatment that I can tell that has helped the most is I don’t feel as if I’m an elephant standing on two little feet. All the pressure is gone and the weight has come off of my legs. It feels extremely good!

During the laser treatment, I guess “mosquito bites” is a good example for [the initial numbing pin pricks]. They were small. There weren’t many. Once you had the complete numbing process, there was nothing that you could feel. During my recovery, after we had the treatment here at the office, everyone – the staff – helped me get my leggings on so I could leave, and I went on about my Friday evening to a painting class. There was no downtime.

[Before], it was just a lot of the restless leg. I felt like my legs were numb. I felt like I needed to get up, walk around, get some movement. There’s a lot of difference, anywhere from being in the car rides to just doing your normal activities, or me being at work just standing for long periods of time. [Now], a lot of it is gone.

Between Dr. Gupta and his polite bedside manner, and the staff – they’re great too, I’ve recommended and I’ve told people about your office. It’s a great place. Helped me a lot. I can say, Dr. Gupta will sit and talk to you and explain everything thoroughly to help you feel more relaxed about the treatment that you’d be having.

I have a feeling, if I would not have had the procedure done, that I would still be at home trying to avoid a lot of activities, not getting out there and doing as much as what I could be doing or what I had been doing, so, it’s just been a big relief to me.
