Patient Testiomonials | UC Davis Health

Before my renal denervation procedure, I was constantly in and out of the emergency room. My blood pressure was high and all over the place. I suffered from headaches, dizziness and chest pain. I was taking aspirin almost daily just to cope with the symptoms. After the procedure, my blood pressure dropped and became much more stable. I feel significantly better, have far fewer symptoms and no longer need frequent trips to the emergency room. The improvement has made a tremendous difference in my health and quality of life.

The renal denervation procedure was quick and virtually painless. From the moment I arrived, the doctors, nurses and staff made me feel comfortable and cared for. Anytime I had a question or concern, someone was there with answers and support. The level of support I received was truly exceptional and gave me confidence every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for better care.

Because of my high blood pressure, I was constantly worried about having a heart attack. It was always in the back of my mind, and I never felt fully at ease. Within seven months of undergoing renal denervation, my blood pressure dropped to 110/60 and no longer fluctuates. My energy level has improved significantly, and I no longer live with the constant fear that I could suffer a heart attack at any moment. The procedure has given me peace of mind and a much better quality of life.

For over 25 years, I struggled with high blood pressure. I was taking four medications, but my blood pressure was still too high. I was tired of depending on so many medications and not getting the control I needed. After my renal denervation procedure, it felt like things changed overnight. My blood pressure stabilized, my energy level increased dramatically, and I've been able to reduce the number of medications I take.

I've lived with hypertension for as long as I can remember, and for most of my life it was under control. But when other health problems developed, my blood pressure became increasingly difficult to manage. I felt exhausted all the time and struggled just to get through the day. Since my renal denervation procedure, my blood pressure has finally steadied. My energy has returned, I feel like myself again and I can get back to doing the things I enjoy. For the first time in a long time, I truly feel like I have my life back.

From day one, the team took amazing care of me. They knew my medical history, anticipated my needs and made the entire process seamless. It felt like the red carpet was rolled out from the moment I arrived. The staff was proactive, informative and always one step ahead, answering my questions before I even had to ask. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel simple and comfortable.
