How can I find a really skilled private Vascular surgeon (North West)

[muminherts]

I have been asked this by a lovely relative in her seventies. She has a varicose vein which is now bulging alarmingly and as such more prone to being knocked according to her GP.

She has been told by GP she could get this on the NHS but the wait would be too long and he said if she could afford to consult a really skilled vascular surgeon.

My relative doesn’t know any and has absolutely no idea how to locate one. Can anyone advise?

So grateful in advance for any help!

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Really appreciate this and have passed them on to my relative.

Varicose vein surgery is pretty straightforward and would be very routine for any vascular surgeon. I don’t get the “highly-skilled” comment- it’s not like she has a huge aneurysm that’s about to rupture!

This is a vascular surgeon that I worked along side for 10 years. He's the best vascular surgeon I know.

I came to say this too. Often done by very junior surgeons when I was doing surgery attachments and jobs.
