Great service from the first appointment till the final one. Very pleased with the results, and the procedure was quick and painless. Thank you
Had my veins treated by Mr Donald Adam, such a pleasant Consultant, put me at ease at my first consultation.
The procedure was not painful , good advice provided by Mr Adam following my first leg being treated, 3 weeks later back again for the other leg.
So far I am very happy with the results, still some bruising and darkness on the treated veins but Mr Adam assured me this would settle down and eventually dissappear.
I woukd definitely recommend Premier Veins and Mr Donald Adam. Thank you.

Fantastic service. Really glad I found them, varicose veins had bothered me for years and the intervention was clearly explained to me, was a straightforward procedure and follow up showed treatment had worked well. Would highly recommend
Dr Adams was great throughout my treatment and would definitely recommend to anyone! The one year guarantee is also a bonus.
In June 2024 i had Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS).. Staff, treatment have been supportive and friendly. The treatment was effective and easy, it's taken away all the aching and itching from the varicose veins.. thank you and would recommend to anyone
Thoroughly recommend Premier Veins not only for their skill but also for the caring way they apply it. My leg was a mess and an embarrassment which meant I left it covered up while on holiday. I’m pleased to say that this is no longer the case thanks to the team.
Excellent service. Good communication and bedside manner. Didn’t think anything could be done for my varicose veins but after over 40 years of having them I really don’t miss them.
Varicose veins treated in both legs.
The surgeon was punctual for all appointments.
The procedure was explained in detail.
Whilst it was a little uncomfortable, it was quite painless.
The results were very good. The veins were blocked and have now begun to disappear.

The whole procedure was clearly explained and my expectations have been exceeded, in terms of the results less than three months after treatment. Thoroughly worth pursuing to avoid complications later. I can recommend.
Excellent care and communication from start to finish. My leg after just 3 weeks and still in the healing phase looks so much better. Mr Adam was first class. I cannot recommend Premier Veins highly enough. Thank you!
The whole procedure from my first telephone call to my final consultation with surgeon Mr Donald Adam, was very good. The treatment was made straightforward by Mr Adam and his assistant, Clive, and thankfully has been a total success. I would not hesitate to use again, or recommend Premier Veins to anyone.
Very impressed with the overall experience and throughly recommend using Premier Veins. Excellent initial consultation with Mr Adam, procedure went smoothly and I especially liked the fact that there was a consultation a few weeks afterwards to ensure everything was ok.
I received an excellent service from Donald Adam and his team. Highly recommended!
I’ve experienced a swollen leg and varicose skin changes requiring intensive compression and daily creaming for years- I couldn’t wear shorts and my leg ached.
I saw Mr Claridge who reassured me he could sort this with RFA in outpatients
I was booked in within 2 weeks and the treatment took 45 minutes under local- it was virtually pain free and within 4 weeks I can now wear normal socks and shorts with no swelling or pain.
Thank you to Mr Claridge and Gareth- my only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago

Mr Adam and his team were superb from the initial consultation right through my treatment of varicose vein and spider veins. Everything was fully explained by Mr Adam in a very calming, caring approach. He and his team deserve the 5 stars for treatment and would highly recommend Premier Veins to anyone. Thank you very much.

Sometimes its hard to find the words to express how you feel but I can honestly say that consultant Martin Claridge and Gareth made me feel so at ease, so comfortable and so confident in there expertise, I can honestly say they have changed my life. I had terrible varicous veins in both legs, I can now proudly wear dresses and skirts again. The whole process was faultless, the aftercare was brilliant. I cannot recommend premier veins enough. Thank you so much!
Mr Claridge and his team provided excellent care, the treatment for my varicose vein was quick and painless. Thank you
Excellent treatment at Premier Veins. Consultation was thorough. Mr Adam was really clear in his explanation of the treatment and expectations. Treatment went very well. Aftercare was well explained. I knew how to contact the team after the procedure. Follow up appointment went well and I was pleased to be discharged with a very positive result.
The procedure was easy and there was only mild discomfort afterwards that subsided very quickly. My symptoms improved really quickly and now I have none of my previous symptoms from the problem vein.
I'm really pleased with the result.

Procedure took less than 1 hr. & procedure was tolerated with ease. No pain at all post treatment!
I just see Mr. Claridge today for my follow up appointment after 2 & half month. Mr. Claridge was so pleased with the recovery & said that results are excellent! I could not agree more!
