Doctor K. Thanks for fixing my legs. I never thought I would be able to work more than 2 hours at a time without stopping and elevating my legs. I have a new lease on life.

Albert M, Tonawanda, NY, Nov 13th 2006

Doctor K you operated on my wife for heart surgery and gave her a second chance to enjoy life. You have done it again. After the VNUS Closure procedure my left leg feels normal again. We walk together every day and we often talk about you and your wonderful staff at the Vein Treatment Center. My doctor who was reluctant to send me for that procedure is now a believer too. Thanks again.

John W, Springville, NY, Nov 2nd 2006

I had the Closure procedure after I learned about it from a friend. She had hers done in the hospital and I had mine done in the office. I was in and out within an hour and she apparently spent most of the day in the hospital. Thank you for making my experience 'simple'. I was able to get back to work the next morning with little discomfort.

Sharon G, Otto, NY, Oct 28th 2006

Doctor K. I can work four 12 hour shifts at the restaurant without stopping to elevate my legs. Even though I was not a candidate for the VNUS Closure you were able to fix my veins and have me back to work the day after every procedure at the Vein Treatment Center. I talk about you all the time to the other waitresses and patrons at the restaurant.

Amanda G, Snyder, NY, Oct 1st 2006M

Dr. Karamanoukian thank you for taking care of my ugly veins with the tumescent ultracision microphlebectomy procedure (TUMP). I just came back from the Bahamas and felt young again I look forward for more fun in the sun this summer.

Diane S, Orchard Park, NY, Oct 1st 2006

The office staff and everybody at the Vein Treatment Center are truly professional and made me very comfortable during my 3 treatment sessions. The fact that you are a heart surgeon made me feel at ease. Somehow my history of heart disease and previous heart valve surgery did not mean that I could not take care of my varicose veins which were preventing me from participating in cardiac rehab. Thanks for bringing your expertise to the Buffalo area.

Mark N, Cheektowaga, NY, Sep 22nd 2006

You did mother's heart surgery and now we are both grateful that you have helped her with her legs. I am eager to start my procedures. Thanks.

Dan H, Olean, NY, Sep 5th 2006

I was ready to go to the Cleveland Clinic for my veins. I had seen another surgeon for my chronic ulcer and the surgery did not help. It took 3 months and the perforator surgery healed my ulcer. I look forward to dancing at my daughter's wedding.

John W, Akron, NY, Aug 21st 2006

I am greatful to have seen you at the Vein Treatment Center. I saw 2 other physicians who did laser surgery on my legs. The veins came back within a year. I was very frustrated and reluctant to seek further care. Your compassion and expertise in the field prompted me to get the microphlebectomy procedures. It has been nearly 12 months and my legs look fabulous. I have recommended you to many of my friends at the hospital.

Jennifer S, North Buffalo, NY, Aug 18th 2006

Please thank everybody at the VTC Vein Treatment Center. I had 2 successful procedures and have started walking daily and losing weight. Please open an office across the river.

Joanne S, Fort Erie, Canada, Jul 30th 2006

I was ready to get the Closure procedure at the Hospital and heard your radio ad. I rescheduled and had a great outcome after having the procedure at the Vein Treatment Center. I saved more than a 1000 dollars in hospital copays and got in and out of the office after my procedures. I will continue to send you more patients- Doreen S Registered Nurse

Doreen S, Williamsville, NY, Jul 23rd 2006

I had vein stripping 12 years ago on my left leg and was recently recommended the same for my right leg. You found out that I was a candidate for the Closure procedure for both legs and successfully performed them in the office. My experience was great and nothing even resembling my 6 day hospitalization for the vein stripping procedure in 1985. I feel great walk daily and recently came back from a cruise in the Caribbean. Thank you your staff and your wife Karen the office manager for making my surgeries smooth and pain free.

Donna S, Elma, NY, Jul 12th 2006

The vein stripping procedure I had at age 18 some years ago was scary and kept me in bed for a while. The Closure procedure was a cinch and I am glad I came to see you. I love my sister for recommending the Vein Treatment Center. Hopefully more surgeons in Ohio will start doing it.

Maureen C, OH, Jun 11th 2006

My doctor told me to live with my varicose veins. Your radio commercial was helpful because it stated that varicose veins affect men and women equally. I am glad that I came in for my evaluation and had both Closure procedures and the micro microphlebectomy procedures. My legs don't bother me anymore and I am still working at the construction site 5 days a week. My wife will be in to see you soon. I have recommended you to all of my friends and family.

Chester D, East Aurora, NY, May 17th 2006

Doctor Karamanoukian. I had both VNUS Closure and the STITCH procedure (for excessive sweating). My life has changed significantly and to the better. Thank you for what you do. You will certainly be invited to my upcoming wedding.

Jeanine S, Olean, NY, May 7th 2006

I had a radiologist do the Closure procedure and still had varicose veins in my legs. I was told that there was nothing that could be done about these varicose veins in the legs. You proved them wrong and my legs look great. I don't have to look at those HUGE veins anymore. I look forward to my 6 month follow-up visit to show you my legs. Life starts again 10 years after having my last baby.

Lynn C, Lancaster, NY, Mar 1st 2006

The microphlebectomy procedure was much better than the injections saline sclerotherapy I had in my leg. The injections burned my skin and left discoloration. The microphlebectomy was painless and left a bruise which disappeared in a week. Thanks a million. I can wear a skirt again!
