"Dr. Ricotta and his staff are truly the most professional organization. My husband had an aneurysm repaired in 2015 and I had the Vena-Seal vein procedure for both legs completed in May 2016. The Vena-Seal procedure was absolutely remarkable - no pain - just slight bruising in one spot on each leg for a just a few days and immediate results. I am an avid tennis player and now I feel like a rock star! There is no other alternative for a Vascular Surgeon than Dr. Ricotta - he is truly the best. A big thanks to the staff as they are always pleasant, organized, and helpful/informative. Thank you for all you have done for both my husband and myself !! "
