For a complete assessment of your vein problem you can make an appointment with a Palm Clinic phlebologist (doctor specialising in veins). The assessment will include a physical examination of your leg veins or facial veins, an ultrasound of your vein system performed by an experienced ultrasonographer, a complete explanation of your problem and possible options, costs and risks for veins treatment.

Our treatment options include:

Varicose Veins; endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy (UGS), compression hosiery.  Our varicose vein treatments are non surgical – meaning less "down time" and a safe and effective alternative to more intrusive surgical vein options.

"I am sure most people approach vein treatment with some trepidation - I certainly did!.  Well my experience with Palm Clinic means that you needn't worry.  Right from the first visit I was impressed with the complete service at Palm Clinic, and working in the health industry I have high expectations.  You can't miss the investment in the latest equipment and hi-tech facilities but it is the people that stand out.  Clearly the team are complete professionals however it is their personable, engaging nature which made trips to Palm Clinic a pleasure which was unexpected.  You can tell the team get on well and enjoy their job, and the interaction with their clients - to me a sign of a well oiled team.  I personally appreciated their very attentive approach - there was a lot of follow up to make sure that my treatment was completed as expected.  I felt in safe hands and recommend them without hesitation.  Thanks team - at every level the service was superb."
