Veincentre Ltd, although rapidly expanding, makes a real effort to retain the personal and friendly service that characterised it at its inception. It is still a relatively small business but has the necessary facilities and professional staff to offer the very best that modern medicine can provide. Deborah and David West are married and established Veincentre in 2003 as the first British company specialising solely in minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins. Our team is small but perfectly formed.
