I could highly recommend Mr Robin Windhaber, Claire Jo and the whole team at Duchy. I have received excellent care throughout the process. Mr Windhaber was thorough and caring and I had plenty of opportunity to discuss any concerns. I have now had my varicose vein skillfully treated and am happy to be wearing shorts again! Thanks very much!

I had my varicose veins treated at the Duchy Hospital by Mr. Windhaber. The treatment and care was absolutely excellent in every aspect of the care provided.
Mr. Windhaber explained each aspect of the treatment as he proceeded, which made me feel totally at ease.
I would recommend Mr. Windhaber, his medical team and the Duchy Hospital in Truro to anyone considering a procedure of this nature.
I am delighted with the results.
Thank you very much.
Joanne Johnson.

So pleased with the end results and all of the treatment that I received from Mr Windhaber and his lovely secretary Claire. The whole process was very quick and provided an exceptional level of care and support despite the current restrictions that were in place.

I consider myself fortunate to have been referred to Robin Windhaber who I rate very highly. He is highly skilled and pragmatic; choosing treatments that work and follows up with checks following treatment. His charges are very reasonable and makes the treatment he carries out well worth the money. He and his secretary Claire work hard to fit patients in with the minimum of delay and are very pleasant to deal with.

I had awful varicose veins at the back of my leg, stopping me to ever wear a skirt or dress as it looked horrible and I was very conscious of it. I decided to find a vascular surgeon to have them removed, I found Robin Windhaber, who listened to my concerns and reassured me on the treatment needed, he was fantastic, and also his PA "Claire".
I am so happy I had it done, best thing I have ever done! Thank you very much Robin !!.
