Testimonial 1 – Pat (Swindon)

My Mother has suffered from varicose veins for many years. She had them stripped some time ago but the condition returned. As I began to have the same problem I was reluctant to have treatment because I knew that the chances of it being successful were slim. But as the pain was becoming worse I consulted my Doctor, who referred me to Mr Singh‑Ranger. He explained the laser treatment and I was particularly impressed by the very high success rate. So I decided to have one leg treated; it took place under a local anesthetic and I was able to watch what happened. It was not painful. We talked all the way through it!



I had some bruising afterwards and I walked a lot to get it down. When it had gone my leg was wonderfully smooth. I used to have very restless legs at night but this procedure stopped that as well. I decided to have the other leg treated and am now in the process of walking off the effects. I recommend this treatment. I wish I had known about it earlier and saved myself some years of pain, ugly legs and restless nights. I am looking forward to the warmer weather and wearing shorts again!
