I recently had my varicose vein treatment carried out by Dr Colin Weir and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and results. From the very first consultation, he made me feel completely at ease, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of my questions thoroughly. The whole process was professional, smooth, and reassuring from start to finish. Dr Weir was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout, which made a huge difference as I was quite nervous beforehand. The procedure itself went really well and my recovery has been far better than I expected. Most importantly, I’m so pleased with the results already. My legs feel so much better and my confidence has improved massively. I’m extremely grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr Colin Weir to anyone considering varicose vein treatment. Thank you again for such amazing care and support throughout the whole journey.

Great results with schlerotherapy after just 2 weeks. I was really pleased and only needed 1 session to massively improve my varicose vein already.

Simple fast procedure that worked really well. My vein has vastly reduced and looks so much better with minimal discomfort. I would recommend Colin and the procedure to anyone.

I attended the Hillsborough Private Clinic for investigation and treatment of Varicose veins in my left leg that was giving me concern and from the initial consultation with Mr Weir to undergoing Endothermal Ablation a few weeks later and now the follow up I could not be happier with every aspect of my treatment which has been a complete success.

I hate your telephone interface. It is impossible to navigate your computerised receptionist. I have an urgent problem post surgery and yet 1.5 days after contacting your organization nothing is being done! Very disappointing given the excellent procedure process

To explain the issue here was with the private clinic and hospital and their communications, not with my care or the procedure. I also offered to see you at short notice at two different clinics and I have noted the final results from treatment have been very satisfactory
