Varicose veins are a common problem, affecting up to 1 in 3 adults in their lifetime. They are usually a sign of an underlying venous insufficiency.
Thread veins can appear anywhere on the body but are mostly evidenced on the legs and face. They are more common than varicose veins, affecting up to 80% of adults.
Leg ulcers appear as broken skin in the lower leg or feet. We have been successfully treating venous leg ulcers for over 20 years.

If you book an initial consultation with Mr Weir at Veincentre Woking, all your future appointments will be with Mr Weir in Woking
If you see Mr Weir you can only attend an appointment with him on a Tuesday in Woking.
Occasionally Mr Weir may open up a list on another day, especially during our busy periods, however, we cannot guarantee appointment dates on every weekday even if a previous appointment was on a different weekday.
If you are unable to attend one of Mr Weir’s dates and hence wish to switch consultants, you will need to attend and pay for a new consultation with the other consultant prior to any treatment being undertaken. Please take care when choosing which consultant/date to book.
Please note that due to holidays Mr Weir may not be available every week.
