Patient Reviews
Nov 25, 2020
He’s an excellent doctor. I’m a needle freak and a fainter but Dr McPherson is very funny and keep me busy talking and take my attention away from the procedure and needle he uses:)) I started my procedures there in middle of October. I had 3 pregnancies and during these times my varicose veins got really bad and lately I always had to cover and wear long pants and skirts. They did both of my legs and had ultrasounds a few times and the technician who’s doing it Greg he does a really good job. So, my veins got already better and we’re not done yet:)) Can’t wait for my next procedure. Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I’ll get back my legs really soon. Thank you Dr McPherson, Greg, Debbie and Danielle. See you guys soon. Edith
