When I had called to make my appointment I specifically told them that I did not have a referral wasn’t sure if they were the right people to see, I explained my symptoms and my concerns that I may have a vascular condition which my mother had. After consulting with someone else the receptionist said yes you should definitely make an appointment with us, when I got there everyone at reception and the nurse were wonderful however the doctor was not. She came in the room after I waited quite a while for her and pretty much just told me off and was a palled that I had made an appointment with out a referral. Her exact words were we are not the kind of doctors that you take it upon yourself to make an appointment without a referral. I understand that some doctors are very busy and it’s a tough job but when I called to make the appointment I explained that I was doing this on my own and should have been told that I would need a referral I would never have gone. They were more than happy to bill my insurance and take my co-pay I’m so glad my money was spent on someone who spent less than a minute in a room telling me off and not having any concerns for what I was going through.

My mother has been a patient of Dr. Kreienberg and also Dr. Darling for over a decade. Her will to live is incredible as is the help of these capable doctors and their staff. I'd also like to give high praises to Carol, a longtime nurse with the group. Been fortunate to have her tend to my mom on many occasions and she is truly the best of the best in her field. I've always been grateful to have her prepare my mother for procedures with patience and empathy. There's a shift in healthcare with administrative changes, patient portals, etc. This is sometimes challenging but when it comes to knowledge and care in the vascular field, they have been amazing.

I had an excellent experience. The staff kept me informed of my upcoming procedure. Everyone was friendly and efficient. My procedure went smoothly. The nurses and my surgeon Dr. Saltzberg were wonderful ! The best thing is I am pain free! Thank you Dr. Saltzberg.

I am a patient at the vascular group - I have a 1500 balance for 2 surgeries which I can't afford to pay - I was served with a LAWSUIT - today - THE VASCULAR GROUP IS SUEING ME - my doctor is sueing me ???? Because he put stents in my veins - I have to follow up twice a year - did I say he is sueing me - a sheriff came to my door and served me with a lawsuit- I am 56 years old and have never been sued - did I say my doctor is sueing me - ? - beware of this group of doctors who do not care about their patients - I was seen for severe pain and swelling in both of my legs - I had 2 surgeries - stents put in a vein on both legs - the doctor told me I would be pain free with no more swelling - I have had no improvement at all.
