Dr. Randy Stevens answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Results at dx office: You had a doppler study at your doctors office. You may have had a nerve conduction study as well. Make sure whenever you have a study you review the results with the doctor. In this case a vascular surgeon may have the lab and will review as to whether there is trip basic flow and compare the results to normals.
