Introduction to Veins and Varicose Veins
There are few medical conditions that are so widely spread as Varicose Veins and Thread Veins and yet are misunderstood by so many and treated so badly. It is common to hear patients, doctors and nurses say:
- "Varicose Veins are only cosmetic" or
- "Don't treat them as they always come back" or
- "Wait until you've had your family before getting your veins fixed"
All of these statements are WRONG and are based on thoughts that are 10 to 20 years out of date.
This website brings you, in an easy to understand language, the latest knowledge about varicose veins and venous disease - and using this shows why the investigations and treatments pioneered and offered at The Whiteley Clinic are so effective.
The Whiteley Clinic is a Clinic in Guildford and London that is dedicated to offering the best treatments currently available to its patients - (see www.thewhiteleyclinic.co.uk).
The Whiteley Clinic should not be confused with other organisations which merely act as agencies to direct patients to consultants for a fee - often calling themselves Centres, Clinics or Institutes.
All members of The Whiteley Clinic are trained in our techniques of varicose veins investigations and treatments by the founders of The Whiteley Clinic. They participate in ongoing research projects and audit of their work and results - collected centrally at The Whiteley Clinic for inspection.
Our research and development credentials can be seen at www.pioneering-veins-surgery.co.uk.
If, having read this website or any other websites, you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
