Satisfied Patients

Learn How Our Expert Care Has Changed Lives for the Better

Dr Tulloch and his very competent and experienced team performed three relatively minor procedures to improve the circulation in my lower legs. ( I am 80.) After only six weeks, improvements were very noticeable, including reduced swelling, shrinking of three small venous ulcers, improved skin condition and easier walking / hiking.
