How to find the right vascular surgeon

Varicose veins often appear as bulging veins that are sometimes blue or purple in colour. For many, varicose veins are just an unsightly appearance but for others they can take on other symptoms too such as aching legs and swollen ankles. Choosing to proceed with surgery to remove your varicose veins can be a complicated process and knowing how to find the right vascular surgeon and clinic is an important factor to achieving the best results.
Unfortunately Varicose Vein removal on the NHS is not common. Your suitability for surgery would depend on the severity of your symptoms so for those who are not necessarily in pain from varicose veins but just don’t like the appearance of their varicose veins it is likely that you would be refused treatment. Following this, many patients decide to look in the private health sector for varicose vein removal treatments.

How to choose the right vascular surgeon?

When you have a surgical procedure through the NHS you often wouldn’t have an option of deciding who performs your operation but when searching for varicose vein treatments you will have the advantage of being able to choose from some of the best surgeons in the industry. Here are some tips to help you pick the top vascular surgeon;

• Check to see if your surgeon is board certified. When researching your surgeon, you should be searching to see if they are members of the relevant societies. Surgeons who are members of The Vascular Society for Great Britain and Ireland and/or the European Society for Vascular Surgery will have most likely had additional training and meet additional requirements to qualify them to refer to themselves as an expert in vein treatments.
• Ask how many patients they have treated. When meeting with a vascular surgeon you are entitled to ask them how many procedures they have performed or how many they perform on average a year. Expert vascular surgeons are highly sought after and are often very busy. Choosing a surgeon who is busy means you are getting a professional that performs varicose vein removal procedures on a regular basis.
• Ask for recommendations. If you know of friends or family members who have had previous varicose vein removal surgery, ask for their recommendations of surgeons. You can also check through review websites such as trustpilot to see what other patients have to say about the surgeons and clinic you are researching.
• Meet with your surgeon. Before you book in for any type of varicose vein removal procedure you should be meeting with your surgeon so if you are offered this otherwise it should act as a red flag. Not only will the surgeon be able to examine you and suggest the most appropriate procedure but this is also your chance to ask questions and also get a feel for the surgeons personality. You should feel comfortable around your surgeon and having a good relationship with your surgeon always sets the path for a stress free and relaxed surgical journey.
