After suffering for many years with very troublesome varicose veins, I made the decision to have them treated privately at the Spire Hospital in Nottingham. My consultation was with Mr Akin Oluwole. I attended my appointment and knew immediately that the decision I had made to consult Mr Oluwole was the right one. During my consultation, Mr Oluwole was very professional, pleasant and sympathetic to the discomfort I was experiencing because of the problems with the varicose veins in both of my legs. During my consultation, both of my legs were scanned to identify the extent of surgery needed. Mr Oluwole then explained everything to me on these scans and assured me that he was able to help me. He explained exactly what the operation would be and what outcome I could expect. Throughout the whole of my consultation, Mr Oluwole ensured that I understood everything fully and I was given a quotation for the cost of my surgery along with a date to suit me. I arrived at the Spire Hospital in Nottingham on the day of my surgery, I was obviously very nervous. When I was admitted the staff were wonderful, very kind and caring and helped me to feel less nervous. Mr Oluwole came to see me before my operation and explained everything to me again In great detail. After my surgery Mr Oluwole came to see me to let me know that everything went very well and he was very pleased. A few weeks after my operation I attended clinic for a follow up with Mr Oluwole who was really pleased with the outcome of the operation. We decided that it would be a good idea to attend the out patient clinic for some foam sclerotherapy on both legs. I have had my first treatment and my second one is this coming week. In writing this review for Mr Oluwole, giving five stars just doesn’t seem enough, in fact if it was giving a thousand stars it wouldn’t seem enough to me. By seeing Mr Oluwole because of very troublesome varicose veins and suffering for so many years with aching legs every single day, my legs constantly itching to the point of me sometimes making them bleed from scratching them and from having restless legs almost every single night which prevented me from sleeping properly, I can honestly say he has completely changed my life. Since having the surgery I have not once had aching legs, itchy legs or restless legs. Mr Oluwole is a brilliant surgeon and I just cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. Thank you Mr Oluwole for helping me and making me a very happy lady again

Mr Akin Oluwole was kind and caring. He made me feel more relaxed. He explained what would happen during the procedure. I would have liked more information on what to expect afterwards and how to help myself with recovery.

Many thanks for your review. It's people like you that makes what we do worthwhile. Apologies that you did not receive the post op instructions on what to expect, we actually do have one. Really sorry for not giving it to you. We will ensure that doesn't happen again.

A smile goes a long way to making a person comfortable and that what Mr Oluwole gives you. He is easy to talk to and answers all your questions. A good experience. All the staff on the department were very attentive.

From start to finish I could not fault any of the care given by Mr Oluwole and all the team involved from outpatients staff to theatre staff and ward staff. My concerns were quickly addressed by Mr Oluwole and I have been very well looked after.
