VeinCentre - Edinburgh Reviews 

Extremely nice professional staff.

I first visited the vein centre on 23rd August for a consultation with Navin Mathias who was my consultant, Navin was absolutely fantastic from the word go he explained absolutely everything to me in detail, what was involved, how the procedure would be done etc and then whilst scanning my legs he spoke me through every single step showing me where the issues were.

Not once did I feel pressurised to book to get this procedure done infact he told me to go away and think about it first.

I had my procedure done on 29th August again Navin went through everything with me and reassured me of any doubts I had, the nurse that works alongside Navin is an absolute angel making you feel so relaxed and at ease.

I had both legs done the whole procedure took 2 hours & was absolutely pain free I was up walking about as soon as the procedure was over.

My follow up was 8 weeks later & the difference in my legs was like night & day.

If you have Varicose Veins and are very self conscious like I was then I would highly recommend Navin Mathias and his team at the Vein Centre in Edinburgh the care & after care they provide is unreal.

Lovely kind people who put me at ease..lovely nurse..Natalie? kept me chatting to take my mind off things..but personally experienced no more than a few tiny nips!.Will have to wait to assess outcome but all good so far!

My appointment was handled great from start to finish ..They were very professionaland explained everything about my procedure to be

Excellent welcome, relaxed consolation , well planned and explained clearly next steps

I chose the VeinCentre Edinburgh because of their positive reviews and the expertise of a vascular surgeon.
Mr Ablett was pleasant, efficient, and listened.
He showed me, with an explanation what he was seeing during the doppler scan.
Most importantly for me, at the end of the consultation and scan he did not pressure me in any way to proceed with further treatment. I was presented with the diagnosis and permitted to arrive at my own decision. Overall, I was reassured that my symptoms were not venous insufficiency (which was my concern) and was superficial varicose veins which could be treated with microscleropathy.
I am currently mulling over my next step. If I decide to proceed it will certainly be with the Edinburgh VeinClinic and Mr Ablett.
I also have to mention Janet the receptionist who was pleasant and chatty. We had travelled a distance and she ensured my husband and I had a nice cup of tea/coffee with biscuits!

Fantastic and Professional

A fantastic and pain free experience.

I have had varicose veins in my leg for a number of years over the last two years they started to become sore so I decided to enquire about getting something done . I decided to go to the vein centre , Edinburgh as it was my nearest one and the reviews were good. From my initial phone call enquiry to my last procedure the staff at the call centre and the surgery were all very professional and friendly . On my first consultation Dr Ablette examined my legs and then explained the procedures that would be needed and gave me the costs involved. I decided to go ahead with the procedures I required two procedures first one was endogenous laser ablation (EVLA) with a follow up foam sclerotherapy procedure.
Dr Ablette and the nurse were great constantly checking I was ok and explaining what they were doing .There was some ouchey bits during the first procedure but not to bad . Walked out of clinic , recovery from first procedure went well and went back six weeks later for the follow up this was a quick easy procedure.
I am extremely happy with the results I have had the confidence to wear shorts in public again and have had no pain, in fact I’ve lived in shorts all summer yes the weather has been exceptional but I would of normally been wearing a long skirt which would have covered my various veins . Yes it was an expense I could have done without but I am so glad I went ahead and got them done.

The staff were very good and made you feel at ease

My experience at the vein centre was excellent. The lovely receptionist made me feel very relaxed and the consultation was very straightforward with Mr Daniel Ablett who was very good explaining the whole process and what needed to be done.

Clear information provided re vein issues. Relaxed and stress free

Very welcoming and friendly expert team. All procedures were clearly explained and illustrated and carried out with the utmost professionalism. Aftercare was clearly explained and all dressings and medication were provided. The conversation during the procedures was always infomative, interesting, and entertaining. Flawless performance from the team, I'd highly recommend Vein Centre.

Very professional company.
I feel I was in the very best care throughout my visit and could contact them for further advice if required.
The doctor doing my procedure was amazing at explaining everything that was going to happen during my appointment.
All the staff are on hand and very helpful.
I will be more than happy to share my experience with my niece as she also needs this procedure.
Would recommend them to anyone.

From walking in the door and leaving after my final appointment i was treated with respect, care and attention. The staff and doctors are all very professional but also making me feel welcome and at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone. 10 out of 10

After a call to ask all my Questions . I booked an appointment, Everything explained to me which put my mind at ease. After my consultation we booked to have my work done...My consultant Navin was so professional pleasant and helpful. Again putting my mind at ease. Absolute pleasure to visit with warm welcoming staff.

Very straightforward and everything very well explained

Very professional no problems at Edinburgh clinic going to get both legs done very soon

Being very clear on what they could do and what they couldn't do so you could make up own mind if you wanted to go ahead with treatment

The consultant explained the process very clearly, also explaining the next stages, the costs, the after-care required, and the possible side-effects and complications. The consultation itself was very relaxed and straightforward.

Would have given five stars for the clinical experience which was excellent, but reduced my score to four due to problems in communication on the admin side. I understand this was largely due to teething problems with their new computer system so would hope that this will now be sorted.
