Explanation

Dr. Crinnion recently performed two operations on my legs to remove varicose veins, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. From our very first meeting, he was friendly and approachable, putting me at ease with his warm demeanour. He took the time to explain my condition, the surgical procedure, and the recovery process in a way that was clear and easy to understand. This made me feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. His professionalism and expertise were evident throughout my treatment, and I'm incredibly grateful for the excellent care he provided. I highly recommend Dr. Crinnion to anyone in need of varicose vein treatment.

From the first meeting Mt Crinnion was extremely empathetic, explaining every step of the procedure and also the diagnosis. He was so caring throughout and when he came to see me after the operation, he was very positive about the surgery and even allowed me to go home in the evening, which meant a lot to me.

I had a great experience with Mr Crinnion. He explained the procedure and what was going on very thoroughly, talked through any concerns and explained what should and shouldn't happen. On the day of my procedure, I felt in very safe hands. Most importantly, the results were incredible. The huge vein I had on my leg has reduced by c.80% – I'm so pleased with it. Mr Crinnion also explained at my follow up the options available to reduce the remaining 'lumpiness' once the procedure had settled down. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you!
