I chose Mr Windhaber to help me with a cosmetic procedure as a result of reading other patient reviews which were all so positive and complimentary, I am very happy to add my feedback.
Robin is one of the easiest people to talk to, he listened very carefully and answered all my questions, taking care to make sure I understood the way that he would be able to reduce the ugly red spidery veins in my ankles. My first treatment was so successful, after a space of a few weeks I could see a huge improvement, I have just had the second session which will reduce the appearance even more, in time for summer clothes!
I would recommend Mr Windhaber to anyone contemplating any kind of surgery to do with veins whether major or cosmetic. It’s easy to find him, and his secretary Claire will sort out an appointment! Thank you so much

I went to Doctor Windhaber for a varicose vain removal.
He checked my leg and did a through exam before telling me my different options for treatment going forward. At no point did he push for me to go for any particular treatment, he straightforwardly told me my options and suggested which treatments would best suit me (and then suggested I think on the choices).
He and the staff made sure I understood the surgery going in. They all made sure to check with me and how I was feeling at various points before/during the procedure. The surgery itself was actually surprisingly quick!
I was told everything I needed to know for aftercare and Doctor Windhaber made sure to leave me with contact information should I have any questions or concerns.
The aftercare was a breeze, a quick check up. I had slight bumps of vein/blood but Doctor Windhaber assured me these would heal with time, or with a needle treatment. But he suggested that just waiting would be the best option. I appreciate he doesn't immediately suggest any unnecessary treatments
All in all, probably one of the most pleasant and easy experiences I've ever had with a Doctor!
