I honestly cannot recommend Dr Wilson and his team highly enough! I am not particularly brave when it comes to medical procedures, so I was naturally quite apprehensive. However, from the very first welcome to the aftercare, the whole experience was absolutely perfect. Dr Wilson and his entire team made me feel comfortable, reassured and completely at ease throughout. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming, and there was even plenty of laughter along the way! Dr Wilson certainly has a great sense of humour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The procedure itself went brilliantly. I experienced absolutely no pain afterwards and didn't even need to take a single painkiller! If you are feeling nervous or worried, I can honestly say you are in very safe hands with Dr Wilson and his team. 1000% recommended! Thank you so much to Dr Wilson and the whole team for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one.

Mr Wilson has a lovely manner and is thorough in consultation, explanation, procedure and follow up. He is thoughtful, attentive and open to questions; the latter not always being the case with medical professionals. I saw Mr Wilson as an outpatient and insofar as it is possible in a hospital setting I found the experience enjoyable! Whenever I had follow up questions I was able to direct them via secretarial services and always received a response from Mr Wilson. The first treatment was for foam sclerotherapy on a leaky vein and this was successful. The second was sclerotherapy for thread veins and only a few weeks have elapsed since then. Mr Wilson described resolution as evolutionary in nature and early results are hopeful. Hoping for further resolution as time goes on.

Every visit with Mr Wilson is excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable and amiable, and always takes the time to listen and address concerns with the utmost patience. I feel entirely comfortable with him and able to give my full trust. I'm overjoyed with the results of my surgery, to the point where I'm actually looking forward to the next one...and who can say that about surgery! The man is a genius.
