I have been going to Dr Hollander for about 2 years now. He is a great doctor and has gone above and beyond to keep my PAD issues under control. The staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

I suffered from pain in my left leg no pain medication would take the pain away. This was ongoing for a few years. My primary doctor referred me to Dr.Hollander and an ultrasound was done which revealed a blockage and a stent was put in my groin area. Ever since then my pain has gone and i feel great. Im thankful for Dr. Hollander and his professional staff. The procedure and process was very easy & painless. Im so glad i found Dr. Hollander!

I came because of pain and swelling both legs for 2 years. After Dr Hollander did my procedure I am now pain free. I am so pleased with the service.

Sarah

Its been almost 2 years since I have been treated by Dr Hollander for PAD and had stents placed in both legs. Prior to being treated by Dr Hollander, I had difficulty walking a distance of more than 2 blocks without being fatigued in both legs. After bring treated and having stents inserted, I no longer feel fatigued and can walk a greater distance. If anyone experiencing these types of symptoms, there is help. Just need to get evaluated by Dr. Hollander and I’m sure he can help.

Stanley

Dr. Hollander and his staff are the best at what they do. They have helped me with healing an ulcerated sore on my foot. I had the procedure done on both legs. The doctor and his staff made me feel comfortable and like family from the first appointment on. Thank you Dr. Hollander and wonderful staff.
