Our Values & Promises

Honesty

The quality of being honest.

We will be honest with you because this policy underpins our entire ethos and is crucial for maintaining our high standard of care and reputation. Additionally, as healthcare professionals it is important to have a trusting and honest relationship between us as the provider and you as the patient. We believe in giving you all of the available information to help you make a truly informed decision for the condition you are experiencing.

Safety

The state of being safe and protected from danger or harm.

We put safety high on the agenda. The safety of our staff and patients is of paramount importance to us. We provide treatments that aim to improve your health and your life, and we will take every measure we can to ensure the best possible results for you. We have established rigorous safety management systems and conduct a thorough risk analysis of the workplace on an ongoing schedule.

Effectiveness

The fact of producing the result that is wanted or intended; the fact of producing a successful result.

The effectiveness of our service and treatment is at the core of our business. We know that you’re coming to us for relief from symptoms that may be causing you physical or emotional distress so everything we do is geared towards producing a successful outcome of your treatment. This is also crucial for our stature within the industry, and for maintaining high levels of patient satisfaction. In 20 years of practice, we have a 99.5% success rate for our primary treatment, which is EVLA.

Efficiency

The quality of doing something well with no waste of time or money.

We appreciate your time and money are both incredibly important to you, and we know that timely, cost-effective treatments are the key to your satisfaction with our service. We are specialists in varicose vein and thread vein treatment and pride ourselves on our treatment pathway. Our expertise and effectiveness, along with our refined processes from initial enquiry to the end of the treatment pathway, allow us to provide you with the most efficient service possible.

Respect

A strong feeling of approval of somebody/something because of their good qualities or achievements.

We provide a personal service that is tailored to your personal circumstance. We will treat you with respect and listen to all your needs, wishes and expectations. We will also show you respect through our honesty and transparency in everything we do, as well as in our professionalism, from responding to all queries knowledgably to ensuring the very best treatment. We will treat you with kindness and empathy, because we understand the physical and emotional pain you suffer with your varicose veins.

Value For Money

Things sold at a good price.

We offer affordable treatment that is accessible to as many of you as possible. We only do veins, which is why we’re able to keep our prices competitive. We are upfront and honest and inform you of all costs prior to starting treatment and there are no hidden, unexpected charges or fees. It also means providing a comprehensive and accomplished service from your first contact with us right through to your aftercare.
