I had both my right and left great saphenous veins treated by Dr Uppal, it has left me with severe nerve damage in both legs, nearly a year after surgery & I am worse then when I went in. I am a petite woman & was told by Dr. Uppal that his wife has requested this procedure & he has been talking her out of it for years due to the fact that she too is a petite woman & the potential risks are not worth the potential outcome. Well, he is right but I guess the 140,000.00 they billed my insurance was worth the risk to him. I am now under the care of a neurologist for pain management. While you can still walk, run to another provider! The staff is horrific and I think I could have had better treatment in a third world country!
