Visiting the Surrey Vein Clinic
When you arrange your appointment, the Clinic's office support team will explain the procedure and confirm what information you may need to bring with you.
If this is your first visit to the Clinic, the Consultant will interview you and make notes of your medical history. This will include details of any previous vascular treatments or surgical procedures you have undergone as well as reviewing your general state of health; so please come prepared and bring any medical records you have that you feel may be appropriate as well as the name of your General Practitioner (GP).
You will receive a physical examination including a Doppler ultrasound scan (a machine which allows the doctor to track the veins and identify abnormal areas).
If we feel that no further specialised investigations are needed, treatment may start at the first visit. If this is the case we will explain the procedures involved and how we propose to carry out this course of treatment with you.
