I just read a review by a woman who described having laser plus schlerotherapy at this clinc back in 2015. The rebuttal states that she had not listened to protocol and that 2 year later when she still had dark veins and went to Montreal where they resolved the issues, that it was her fault that her legs were damaged in Toronto. Wrong. I had the exact same experience with this "clinic" years ago, so it is nice to hear that people are speaking up, and hopefully they are not continuing to get away with their incompetency. An incompetent young nurse performed schlerotherapy and laser all at once by their choice on my the first session. Result: swollen, damaged veins worse than before. 6 months later no improvement. I went to Ottawa as there is a specialist there and after every treatment saw improvement, so if he tells you it has to get dramatically worse before it gets better that is not true. Run don't walk from this "Doctor" and his incompetent staff.
