Rob was caring and listened to me. We agreed a plan of action, however when I saw a change in my symptoms, Rob was happy to adjust the plan to suit my needs better. This meant that I got my treatment and was pain free sooner.
Throughout the whole process, I had his personal email address and phone number, which was very reassuring. On the occasions when I emailed him, I received a prompt, comprehensive and helpful response.

Mr Windhaber is polite, patient and kind. During my initial consultation Mr Windhaber examined my varicose veins and recommended a course of treatment and was happy to answer any questions that I had. Mr Windhaber, put me at my ease and I felt confident with the treatment plan. On the day of my treatment, Mr Windhaber again took time to explain the treatment, ensured that I was happy to go ahead and gave me some post procedure and recovery advice, including details of how to contact him if I had any concerns. During my treatment, he explained what was happening at each stage. I was naturally apprehensive going into the treatment room, but Mr Windhaber and his colleagues ensured that I felt relaxed throughout the treatment, and I felt safe. I thoroughly recommend Mr Windhaber, and the treatment that I received in his care. I am delighted with the results and have already recommended him to family & friends.

I found Mr Windhaber to be a very pleasant, informative and friendly specialist. I have complete faith in his expertise. My varicose veins were really terrible. The results have been truly amazing.
Mr Windhaber has seen me on numerous occasions, taking his time until satisfied with the results. Legs looks so much better and the dreadful cramps have also stopped. Magic!
Great guy!
