Vascular Institute of Arizona

My 1st visit here, and it was definitely worth my time. From the receptionist, to the nurse, to Dr. Belraj my experience was fantastic. Dr. carefully explained what is causing my situation, the treatment, & expected results. Very professional practice & worth selecting for your vein issues.Then upon leaving the receptionist offered to schedule my MRI on the same day 3 hours later. The radiologist named Bailee was just as professional and efficient as the rest of Dr. Belraj's staff. If the rating included 10 stars this practice would EARN this rating from me. Yesterday was my follow up visit with Dr. Belraj to review results of my MRI. Dr. was very straightforward on what needed to be done. His nurse Paula was very helpful in offering to assist with compression socks removal options & the importance of using. The receptionist Meghan started scheduling options in the hospital while working with Paula on insurance approval. This practice is definitely worth scheduling for your varicose vein diagnosis options. Not pushy at all, November 3rd will be my 4th visit. My comments above have strengthened more each appointment. Dr. Balraj and his staff Paula - nurse, Bailee ultrasound technician, and Megan receptionist are professional, efficient, and most of all - friendly. Having any medical procedure done can cause stress, but they all remove this anxiety. This practice deserves more than double the 5-star maximum rating.

Dr balraj is an excellent doctor. He performed surgery on me two years ago and has been following up ever since. he is kind, helpful A talented physician and he listens. I highly recommend him.

APPALLING Experience! Yesterday this doctor became enraged because my nearly 80 year old parent did not want surgery. Other surgeons had already performed 5 of them, and they all failed. Still experiencing pain from a couple of them. We were there to seek alternative treatments. He yelled, asking "What do you want me to do? I told you to have surgery. I can't help you!" I told him I knew there were medications and other options. This nasty individual actually told me to "shut up!" YES, this "so-called" professional was angry because we didn't just go along with whatever he said, without his offering empathy and options. In my entire life, I have never experienced a doctor become combative and belligerent with a patient's adult child/caregiver because he didn't agree. He simply wanted to perform surgery. Period! Didn't care about the patient's feelings or past experiences. My background is in medical ethics. This was beyond textbook UNETHICAL behavior. My parent was in tears. I told him he was disgraceful and lacked bedside manner. Grabbed my parent's hand and walked out!! Unless you plan to go along with this individual and not participate in your own well-being or ask questions, or want someone to listen to you, about YOUR body, I suggest you look elsewhere.

My wife took the great reviews and decided it was the place to go to help her with varicose veins. Everything took way longer then it should from ultrasound to going over results leaving and coming back multiple times to end up spending 5000$ and not only did they not help but made the problems worse. She told them that she didn't think it was fixed but they insisted she was good to go. We got a second opinion and come to find out the veins where not fixed but wide open and spread do to whatever they did to "fix" the problem. Save some money and don't go here.

I would give a zero if I could. I went there in August of 2024 and was diagnosed with venous insufficiency. It was a long drawn out process after every ultrasound I had to schedule more office visits to just go over the ultrasounds. I ended up having the ablation done, and a couple Varithena injections. I went back in because the specific vein he said was treated was still causing me pain and he ended up saying it still had blood in it when he poked it with a needle. So he did another injection in the vein even though it should have been fixed the last visit. After all the procedures I came back in for yet again another office visit to just talk and told him something feels very off and wrong. My veins were screaming at me from the inside. I am miserable. And he said well are you atleast 60-70% better and at the moment I said yes. Little did I know it would quickly get worse. He told me since I'm 25 it's really only going to get worse from here. Basically giving me a life sentence instead of helping me. At this point I've paid over $5000 and I'm worse off than when I started. And still need to get them fixed. I went to a more trusted place this morning and it's been 6 months since his procedures and a month and a half from my last office visit with dr Balraj. This new place did the ultra sound and said everything he did is wide open and all the blood is going straight down and pooling. I went today to Balraj's office to ask for a refund since I paid out of pocket and now I have to go somewhere else to fix everything he messed up. The lady told me no she won't refund any of my money and I need to take that up with insurance. Anyways.. don't waste your time and money here. It's been 8 months of drawn out procedures, spending money and pain. They gaslight you and just tell you to wear your compression stockings.
