I was a very nervous patient. I was so tense I could hardly speak. Mr Moawad and his assistants tried hard to make me relax and said things to make me smile. All I can say now is that there was no need for me to worry. There was really no pain or discomfort throughout the whole procedure. I was just lying flat and could have listened to music if I had wanted to. I couldn't see what was happening though mr Moawad told me what he was doing from time to time. If I did feel anything I told Mr Moawad and he increased the local anaesthesia. I had a vein ablation in my left leg and many of the smaller veins were removed. At the end of the procedure I remember saying but I thought you were going to use radio waves to disable the vein. 'But I have,' he said and he showed me what he had used. I had no idea that he had actually performed the ablation. I thought that he was examining my leg, testing the main vein and removing small veins. The actual ablation happened quite quickly.
I suppose I was in the Operating Theatre for just over an hour. Afterwards I could get up and walk straightaway. I felt well and had a up of tea and a sandwich and then was ready to go home.
Healing took place quite quickly. There were no stitches. I did wear an elastic stocking each day. I didn't need any pain killers and was able to drive within a day or so. Within 3 weeks there was really no sign that I had anything done.
It is a relief as I was experiencing quite a few worrying symptoms. I now have to have the same procedure on my other leg. It will be a relief to have this leg sorted out too. I feel very different this time and know there is nothing to be worried about. It is so worthwhile to have it done.

I recently had two varicose Veins procedures with Dr Moawad.
Dr Moawad was extremely KInd, emphatic and showed great care and attention.
I would highly recommend Dr Moawad, the procedure was a great success and the aftercare and followup was excellent.
