Our vein disease specialists
Created by leading vascular surgeons, specialist GPs, and scientists, UK Vein Clinic was set up to make world-class treatment not just the right option, but an easier one for more people
With routine treatment severely restricted through the NHS, we set out to create a service driven by patient outcomes, rigorous care, and pricing that’s both fair and transparent. That’s why our care pathways have been designed by some of the world’s leading vascular surgeons. It’s also why our prices are fixed, and come with a guarantee that our varicose vein treatment will successfully close the targeted veins. So the relief you get from varicose veins is relief that lasts
