Kevinyork from Manchester (aged 45 yrs) treated for EVLA and Foam Schelortherapy
I had to send them photos of my legs to confirm it was something they could do in a day visit. All communications were very prompt and clear and made the process very straightforward.
I visited them in Manchester and was treated by Dr Krishnan. Receptionist was lovely and had a nice chat. In the treatment room my legs were scanned and they confirmed both had issues and could treat both on the day. I was a little wary as my Mum had a varicose vein op over 25 hrs ago and had major complications but they reassured me and I underwent the treatment.
Apart from a few needle injections I didn’t feel anything at all. It took about 40 mins for both legs to be treated. I had to wear the support stockings for a week afterwards. As expected I felt some uncomfortable pain after about day 5 for another 10 days and took Ibuprofen which numbed it. It never restricted me in any way though. After 8 weeks I returned for my follow up and just needed one further injection. I would say my veins are about 95% gone with the latter said to take a couple of months more. The only niggle was my follow up apartment was cancelled at about 10 days notice and I had to rearrange hotel and travel plans which was a bit of a pain.
Overall though I’m very pleased. The overall professionalism was very good and my fears were allayed with what was such a straightforward and thankfully painless procedure. I would recommend Veincentre to anyone needing varicose vein treatment.

Vulcan from Manchester (aged 55 yrs and above yrs) treated for EVLA
From start to finish I was kept fully informed as to what was to happen both during and the outcome of the treatment.
I was treated by Dr Ananth Krishnan who was ably supported by Helen Burndred. Throughout the treatment I was impressed by their expertise and commitment to ensuring that the treatment was successful. This supported by a relaxed atmosphere during the treatment led to a very satisfying experience.
Since the original treatment in June and follow up in August, my veins have significantly reduced with some having disappeared altogether. I was informed that this reduction/disappearance will continue over the coming months.
I am very happy with my "New Legs"

Frida from Manchester (aged 45 yrs) treated for EVLA / Foam Sclerotherapy
I had the EVLA treatment in November and Dr Krishnan was very attentive with my concerns and fully explained the procedures & possible results. He and Stephanie made the whole experience not at all daunting and answered all my questions nothing was evasive even the pricing was very clear, this was one of the reasons I chose to have my procedure done with this clinic.
After my EVLA treatment in November ( I had a mild discomfort a few days later but this was mainly due to a tight feeling and a little sensitivity it was manageable) I waited until the next February to have my follow up, where I did require some additional foam sclerotherapy this was my choice to wait till February, I wanted to make sure everything had settled down and meeting Dr Krishnan & Stephanie again was like catching up with old friends again.
It’s been just over a week now after my last treatment and I am over the moon with the results so far, I do have a little bit of staining on my lower legs which was explained to me that this could happen but it’s NOTHING compared to having the unsightly knobbly veins I did have!!
and im sure a little fake tan can fix.
Overall the experience from the receptionist, Stephanie and Dr Krishnan and my results have been very positive and enjoyable.
I would definitely recommend the Manchester Vein Centre and wish I had had the procedure done years ago.....
Many thanks to Dr Krishnan and Stephanie

G from Manchester (aged 45 yrs) treated for Laser and foam treatment
The information provided in the run up to and after the treatment was accurate, meaning my expectations were met. Whilst there was some discomfort during and after treatment, this was in line with what I had been told. I was able to continue with moderate exercise the day after treatment and stepped this up within a week.
Overall a very satisfactory outcome.

LolaBas1979 from Sunderland (aged 35 yrs) treated for Laser Treatment (EVLA)
The procedure was pain-free- and lasted only 8 minutes- with just a slight twinge when the wire was taken out. At the follow- up appointment a foam was injected to get rid of any residual vein and again this was almost pain-free. In addition, the spider veins were treated at no extra cost. The varicose vein has almost disappeared and continues to improve on a daily basis.
I am extremely happy with the result and should I ever need treatment on my other leg I would have no hesitation in contacting Dr West.

IOMarty from Manchester, UK (aged 35 yrs) treated for Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)
Prior to treatment it was explained to me that treatment would consist of a two stage process; laser treatment to begin with followed six weeks later by foam injections to deal with any remaining varicose veins. I was warned that there may not be much visible improvement after stage one but I was happy to discover that my previously horrible veins were in fact massively better straight away. I did still have some remaining visible veins (nothing like the previous road-map!), which I had treated at stage two yesterday; fingers crossed this will complete the transformation.
The Manchester clinic is clean, functional and comfortable without necessarily having the full "private healthcare" feel about it. It's in no way a criticism of the standard of medical care, but having to get changed in what seemed to be a storeroom doesn't give the right impression for what's to come IMHO.
The treatment itself, which is after all the key part, was excellent. Stage one - EVLA - took around an hour (possibly a little more?) and was broadly speaking painless. Afterwards I was free to walk out of the clinic almost as if nothing had happened. A week or so later I had some mild discomfort, which I understand is normal, but nothing unpleasant. I had to wear support stockings for a week and once that minor inconvenience was done with I was as good as new (well, better in fact!), with no visible signs of having had treatment and fully able to run, play football, etc. Genuinely, EVLA treatment makes the old style surgical vein removal look like something out of the dark-ages; I couldn't recommend it enough.
Stage two - foam injections into the few remaining varicose veins - was over in around half an hour, and was less invasive still, but was essentially a similar story to above.
One minor gripe is that for both phases I was asked whether I would mind if one of Dr West's assistants carried out part of the procedure, under his supervision, for training purposes. Now I know that such training is important, and it had no adverse impact on the treatment, but truth be told I'd have preferred for Dr West to do the whole thing himself. I had the option to say no but, with typical British reserve, said yes. Perhaps that's more of a lesson for me than it is for Veincentre!
Overall I would thoroughly recommend Veincentre. While I've included a couple of grumbles above they're really more by way of suggestions for improvement than anything that should be taken as any sort of complaint. They certainly aren't intended to take away from what I found to be an excellent level of care.
Total cost of treatment was around £2,000. Obviously that's a chunk of cash but having looked around elsewhere it seemed to be pretty competitive.

Julie from North West UK (aged 45 yrs) treated for EVLA followed by Foam Sclerothapy
The EVLA treatment was mildy uncomfortable but the results were well worth it. The worst bit was wearing the surgical stocking for a week, but even that is a distant memory. I'd say my varicose vein was 90% better at 6-8 weeks.
The Foam sclerotherapy was almost painless, just the horrible surgical stocking for another week. It's been six weeks since my treatment and the bruising is slowly disappearing, though it is still slightly tender to touch.
So, in summary, I'm really pleased with the results and would highly recommend the VeinCentre. It's not cheap, but it is well worth the money.

Radders from North Wales (aged 45 yrs) treated for EVLA and Foam Scierotherepy
The staff at the Manchester clinic are very friendly and engaging. The straight talking Dr West summed up the problem in simple terms, which believe me was just what I needed to hear (for once) from the medical profession. I actually got the feeling that my well-being was more important than profit which is a far cry from the budget constraints and gate keeper roles of GPs in the modern NHS.
I can't fault the care I received, the treatment EVLA to both legs was carried out very efficiently without any measurable discomfort at all during or in post procedure phases.
I think it is important to remember that the cosmetic results are not immediate and do take time, even after the follow up visit, but the almost immediate relief from those throbbing aches makes it worth every penny. On balance the Vein Centre is excellent value for money and far more competitively priced than most service providers I researched.
My only regret is I just wish I did it years ago....

Lee182 from Devon (aged 25 yrs) treated for Evlt & Foam Sclerotherapy On Both Legs
I found the EVLT a lot less uncomfortable than i thought it would be. Some mild stinging and tugging but all bearable. I wore stocking for 2 weeks and must admit on the 10th day i was in quiet a bit of discomfort, which was easily sorted with some paracetamol. I returned 6 weeks later for a follow up, my legs already looked much better but i still had a few veins i wanted gone, so i had Foam Sclerotherpy done on both legs, didn't feel a thing, then i was back in stockings for another 2 weeks. After this my legs were looking good some yellow staining and lumpiness which lasted about 6 months. I still had some veins in my calf which needed another set of injections which i have just had done 1 year on, i was told this may be the case as they were quite bit veins. Stockings come off yesterday and i am over the moon with the results. i would recommend this treatment to anyone. the worst part of it all is the stockings!! (for men anyway) but they are a big part in the treatment so its best to keep them on and bear with it. Thank you Veincentre.

Irina from Manchester, UK (aged 25 yrs) treated for EVLT followed by foam sclerotherapy
I had problems with veins on my legs since my late teens and was initially warned off embarking on treatment by GPs (and some other doctors). Once the condition started to worsen I decided I wanted to sort them out. I contacted several clinics in the UK and most of them would not disclose their actual price for the treatment. I also considered having the procedure performed in Lithuania (my original country) but that wasn’t the best option as it would have required several trips by air and would have used up my holiday allowance that I would prefer using for actual holidays. I approached Veincentre for the following reasons:
Clear pricelist;
Prices are the same as they are in Lithuania (in fact cheaper taking into account cost of flights);
Professional and informative phone manner when I initially contacted Veincentre;
Welcoming and warm atmosphere in Manchester centre
I had full confidence and determination in having the EVLT procedure performed after my first consultation with Dr. David West. He clearly explained the reasons of my vein problems and all available options in dealing with them. The procedure itself was straightforward, fairly pain-free and I’m very grateful to Joanne for engaging me in conversations that put my mind off the actual procedure. Dr. West is a calm individual and his demeanour puts my (and I’m sure others) minds at rest. My legs did hurt a week after the procedure, but ‘no pain, no gain’ and in any case the pain did not last long. It was great to be able to return back to normal daily activities as well (including moderate gym activity). 6 weeks after the procedure, the originally bulging veins became much smaller and I’m sure they will completely disappear after the sclerotherapy session I recently had.
Overall, I’m very happy with the result and delighted to say good-bye to those hot compression tights I had to wear on hot summer days to make my veins look less visible.
Thank you, Dr. West very much! I think you are a really great and ‘cool’ doctor.

Tracy from london (aged 35 yrs) treated for EVLT and foam schlerotherapy
The procedure was explained well and I had consultation and procedure on the same day. The nurse present was lovely and chatty and did a good job of taking your mind off the procedure and Dr West was pleasant at all times but obviously busy concentrating.
The procedure was surprisingly much less painful than I suspected it would be. The local anaesthetic was the worst part as the actual laser treatment was not painful at all.
After the procedure I was made a cup of tea and sat outside. I was unsure if I needed to wait around or to walk around for a short while as the pre appointment instructions had indicated but I could not find any member of clinical staff to check with, so I left.
I followed the post procedure instructions to the letter. At my 6 week check I required some schelrotherapy injections which again were relatively painless. At this point most of the bulging had disappeared but there was still a lot of discolouration and this was worse after the schlerotherapy injections.
It is now 8 months later and although my leg looks better than it did before treatment I am a little disappointed. The veins in the treated leg are not bulging again but remain discoloured. My leg is starting to get that achey, heavy feeling in it again and the veins in the calf particularly where the bulging veins were previously are beginning to get that very itchy feeling again. I never thought the treatment would be a permanent fix but I did hope that for £2100 the effects would last for longer than 8 months. I have never had surgical treatment so I cannot say if the results would have been any different had I taken that option. I cannot say that I rush to show off my legs!

Faye from Manchester, UK (aged 25 yrs) treated for EVLT
Dr West performed the ultrasound and explained clearly to me what the problem was and how it could be treated, and I booked in to have the treatment a few weeks afterwards. I was very anxious on the day, but aside from the local anaesthetic injections I felt nothing. It was all over and done with quickly, and Joanne was great cheerfully chatting away to me throughout, helping to stop me thinking about it (and probably preventing a fainting fit!). When I returned for my 6 week check-up Dr West explained that I may not need the foam sclerotherapy, and so I decided to wait to see how it healed rather than have jabs for no reason.
I returned three weeks ago (about 5 months after the procedure) to have foam sclerotherapy as I still had a couple of small bulging veins, which is apparently completely normal after treatment (as it treats the main vein). Again, apart from the injection which did sting a little, I felt nothing. My leg is healing very well, and I have only a little tenderness and lumpiness which can take a few months to settle. I have had none of that dull aching from my veins since my first treatment, and I am really very pleased with the results.
In summary, Dr West and his team are fantastic. I would highly recommend Veincentre for effective treatment that avoids general anaesthetics, NHS waiting lists, and allows you to carry on with life as normal. They were professional, efficient, and at all times I have felt confident that I was getting the best treatment from the experts.

So fast forward 20 years or so and it was time to deal with the other leg which had been getting progressively worse for the last 10 years. I was referred to Dr West from my GP as he was both local and highly regarded nationally. A few weeks later and i was signed up to have the laser treatment to remove the vein.
Prior to the operation, i was a little anxious to be fair, i was uncertain about exactly how the procedure would work and what would be left inside my leg after. if i'm honest i still don't really understand how it all works, but i was happy to defer to the expertise of Dr West.
The procedure itself was very straightforward, even with my fairly unique 'wiring' it was all done in the space of 90 minutes. The local anesthetic and the weapons grade pain killers pretty much had me sorted for the first 3/4 days. There was some aching but nothing that a little feet up time would not solve. The advice i had was that between days 5-7 it might start to hurt, in my case i was fine up to day 7, then things changed. Unusually i suffered considerable pain and discomfort between the 7th and 21st day. All of a sudden it felt that the inside of my leg was too short for the outside of my leg. lots of pain, lots of aching and lots of throbbing. Halfway through i had to seek more advice from veincentre. After speaking to Dr West i was assured that everything i was experiencing was normal if a little unusual, i was advised to bear with it and that the pain would go as quickly as it arrived. Sure enough after the 21st day things soon returned to normal. its worth mentioning that i think i was unlucky and that its quite unusual to experience the discomfort that i did. i might add that during all this, i was going about my life as normal, working, gym, moving around - all fine. i didn't do that after i had the first leg stripped 20 years ago!
Anyway, 8 weeks on and its brilliant, the vein is all but gone. I just recently had some follow up treatment on one part of the vein, but that has provided absolutely no pain or discomfort at all. to look at, you would not know i had had a problem. Its superb.worth every pound!
One final point and one for the blokes rather than the girls. The support stocking, which is essential for the 2 weeks after the treatment, is tragic. It just did not stay up. probably due to my having hairy legs. So be prepared to take extreme measures to ensure the stocking stays up!
i'd recommend this treatment to anyone, medical science has moved on since the days of stripping veins and this is definitely the way to go.

From outset they were open and showed sensitivity dealing with an embarrassing problem.
Dr. West explained the procedure, what would happen and why and everything went without a hitch, with no downtime whatsoever.

Another thing, the cost of the treatment was reasonable and the vein centre is the only site which displays the costs and provides comparisons.
