San Francisco Vein & Vascular Institute

I wish I could have given more stars but my first experience was horrible with the Doctors front office worker. Not only was "Shay" rude but also displayed arrogant behavior. She couldn't find me in the system and denied getting any referral paperwork from my primary care provider and was loud and obnoxious.when one of her colleagues tried to help me she interrupted him from speaking to me. Finally, they were able to find the necessary paperwork after the whole fiasco was unpleasant but the Dr Levine was kind and professional.

A Pat on the Head and, "Continue taking daily aspirin and come back in 6 months," was the advice I received from a top vascular doctor in Santa Rosa for 3 years. Then I found San Francisco Vein & Vascular Institute! After a phone conversation, Dr. Nathanson arranged a duel consultation that included a heart surgeon. The following week I had a valve repair at CPMC, and two weeks later I had a blockage removed from my right leg. Because I lived 4 hours away, Pattie O'Kelly, the surgical RN pushed me uphill in a wheelchair to my hotel and brought me dinner and breakfast, checking my incision each time. Talk about service! 3 years of pain vanished! 10 months later my primary called on a FRIDAY night at 10 pm and said I needed emergency surgery ASAP due to a life-threatening blockage. At 10:22 pm I called Dr. Nathanson's Service. At 10:32 pm he called me back and I had the procedure the following Tuesday. He didn't stop there! He checked the rest of me and found another blockage that he cleared the following week. He still didn't stop there and gave me a full checkup and found a third blockage that needed major surgery, which he did 10 days later at CPMC. The follow-up from the staff has been exceptional in all 4 cases! If you have been suffering from swollen, painful legs or any vascular problems, CALL THEM. The staff listens, the doctors care, the facility is immaculate, and they might just save a limb, or even your life! Most important, you will have a chance to enjoy the future pain-free.

Dr. Levin pretty much saved my life. He and the entire staff are very reassuring and very professional. I'm going back for my 1 year follow up and hoping for positive results. Thanks to all.

I visited Dr. Nathanson and his staff for the third time early this week. Quiet competence is my overall impression. So far, the outcome for my procedure has been excellent. I'd certainly recommend them to others. Winston Wood, Novato
