There are few medical conditions that are so wide spread as Varicose Veins and Thread Veins that are misunderstood by so many and treated so badly. It is common to hear patients, doctors and nurses to 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All of these statements are WRONG and are based on thoughts that are 10 to 20 years out of date.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 easy to understand language, the latest understanding about varicose veins and venous disease - and using this understanding 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 it's patients - (see www.TheWhiteleyClinic.co.uk). The Whiteley Clinic finances research into Venous Disorders via its charity The Whiteley Foundation (See www.TheWhiteleyFoundation.org.uk - will be online soon).

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 and participate in ongoing research projects and audit of their work and results - collected centrally at The Whiteley Clinic for inspection.
