I can not recommend Mr Colin Weir enough. I had been having pain and discomfort associated with my varicose veins for a number of years. Following a very comprehensive assessment by Mr Weir I had radio ablation treatment. The treatment itself was quick and the results were super. Mr weir is a skilled Surgeon who is accomplished in his area of expertise ,and is friendly with a professional manner, and is very approachable . Having had problems for years it is such a relief to have had this treatment completed in a lovely environment with a Consultant like Mr Weir. Thank you

Absolute gentleman who is one of the most friendly and professional medics I’ve dealt with. Treatment on my varicose veins and thread veins was carried out with care and attention. Mr Weir put me at ease throughout the procedure, which was virtually painless. Delighted with the results, only wish that I’d seen him sooner!
