81-year-old Bernice Merchak lived a simple life, enjoying her hobbies such as cross-stitching, gardening, cooking, and baking. It was not until she began experiencing symptoms of varicose veins that it got a little more complicated. For years, Bernice struggled with her condition as her “legs were always tired and sore.” Until finally, the day came when she decided to seek help.
Unfortunately for Bernice, her first attempt at treating her varicose veins came with disappointing results. “I went to another vein place and all they did was just inject something and said I was done” but her leg pain persisted. Bernice continued to live with her discomfort for some time after, thinking there was nothing more that could be done as she believed she had already had the proper treatment.
As her typical leg pain continued, a new one arose. She began to feel pain behind her right leg, “I thought it had to do with my knee until I questioned my orthopedic doctor and he said varicose veins can do stuff like that.” From there, Bernice was referred to Dr. Ramaswami at Taylor Vein Solutions for treatment.
The minute Bernice stepped into Taylor Vein Solutions, she felt at home. “They treated me like family,” and family she was to us. Bernice’s pleasant and energetic personality granted her the label of the “crazy lady who needs to behave at home” at our office. A running joke between her and the staff that earned her a special spot in our Taylor Vein Solutions family.
When it came time to begin her treatment, Bernice felt no fear. Rather, she felt relaxed and in safe hands. At Taylor Vein Solutions, we strive to provide our patients with comfort. One of the ways we do this is by making sure their treatment and procedures are carefully explained so that our patients understand the pain-free process of treating their veins with TVS.
Once her treatment was finished, Bernice was able to return to her normal life with less pain than she had felt in years: “The improvement was great, I was able to work more out in my yard, able to clean my house a lot better. I was able to be more active again.”
Taylor Vein Solutions gave Bernice the relief that she needed, which is why she is not only happy with her results but would also recommend TVS to anyone struggling with varicose veins: “You got leg problems, vein problems, go to TVS. You will not regret it.” If you are interested in following Bernice’s advice, feel free to give us a call to schedule an appointment or learn more. Taylor Vein Solutions specializes in diagnosing and treating varicose veins in a way that makes our patients feel comfortable and relaxed. At TVS, we make sure no question goes unanswered and that our patients get the best care that they deserve.
