Dr Franklin transformed my legs for the better in very few visits. A wonderful man who is caring and considered. Highly recommend.
I saw Mr Franklin about varicose veins, he was very professional and after some scans he suggested surgery to treat the faulty veins. This was carried out quickly and I felt very well looked after throughout the process. I would highly recommend him and his staff.
thank you so much really appreciated
Did my varicose veins surgery with Mr Ian and the experience has been first class. The explanation upfront both in terms of options and understanding of the problem was great, the operation experience was very smooth and during post op I felt very cared for. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend Mr. Ian and his team

Mr Franklin is very personable and experienced with an easy manner that enables him to communicate well. He has a holistic approach, listens well and is compassionate and kind. I would highly recommend him. I am thrilled with my results.
thank you much appreciated
Excellent service from start to finish.From the first consultation to the day of the procedure Mr Franklin has ensured that i was as comfortable as possible. In my case I had very large varicose veins on my right leg.However the entire procedure was pain free,and I mean no pain or discomfort whatsoever.He is an absolute master at his craft.I had treatment done not because of the cosmetic appearance but simply because I was in constant pain and couldn’t do basic things like driving a car or standing up for more than a few minutes and so on.Four weeks after the operation I feel like I have a new leg.All the pain is gone and for the first time in 20 years I can see my leg without the bulging varicose veins that I had gotten used to seeing every day.I can’t put into words how much Mr Franklin’s help and knowledge has helped me.I have always been into my fitness through various sports and not being able to train over the years because of the varicose veins was really getting to me.But now all that is in the past and I have what I can only describe as a new leg.Once again thank you so much Doctor!!!!!
thank you so much
