"I have had a problem with varicose veins in my left leg for many years but noticed that they've been getting worse, so I started to research all the possible treatment options available. I had heard of a new cutting-edge treatment in Europe that didn't involve injections, pain killers, compression bandages, or recovery time. I was so was delighted to learn about Dr. Ricotta who was offering this innovative procedure here in America. I made an appointment with Dr. Ricotta and he discussed with me all my options and answered all my questions openly and honestly so that I felt I had all the information I needed to choose the treatment that was best for me. During the procedure, Dr. Ricotta and his team kept me informed as to what was happening. The whole procedure was pain free and fast and afterwards, I was able to drive a car, walk my dog and generally get on with my life as if nothing had happened! I can highly recommend Dr. Ricotta and all his wonderful and very professional team, and am now looking forward to next summer and wearing shorts for the first time in many years!"
