This website is written by Mr Michael Gaunt, consultant vascular surgeon at the Cambridge Vascular Unit and its aim is to help you understand varicose veins and related venous disorders and the recent developments in both operative and non-operative treatment that have become available.

Mr Gaunt is a consultant vascular surgeon at the teaching hospitals of Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge and West Suffolk, Hospital, Bury St Edmunds and personally carries out over 500 treatments a year for varicose veins both in the NHS and privately.

Mr Gaunt is not linked or sponsored, either financially or any other way, with any company promoting a specific treatment for varicose veins so varicose-veins.uk.com aims to provide you with an independent assessment of all the varicose veins treatments.

The opinions expressed in varicose-veins.uk.com are the personal views of Mr Michael Gaunt MD(Dist) FRCS, based on personal experience of the techniques, review of the scientific literature and scientific research.
