Mr Simon David Hobbs

Mr Simon D Hobbs is a specialist Consultant Vascular Surgeon trained in using the latest ultrasound technology to provide a detailed assessment and minimally invasive, local anaesthetic techniques to treat varicose veins and thread veins. He believes that the majority of varicose veins and thread veins can be treated with minimally invasive, state of the art techniques, under local anaesthetic as a walk-in, walk-out procedure with little downtime.

Mr Hobbs focuses on the use of duplex ultrasound to accurately assess the anatomy and function of the veins, especially the deeper "feeder" veins, ensuring that tailored, individualised treatment plans can be recommended with optimum results.
