Arteries & circulation · Consultant vascular surgeon assessment

Leg pain on walking? Seen in weeks, not months, with a clear plan.

Cramping in the calf, thigh or buttock that comes on with walking and eases with rest is usually a narrowed leg artery (claudication). I also see carotid narrowing after a TIA, aortic aneurysms and anything your GP has found with your circulation. A consultant vascular surgeon assessment, privately, without the wait.

What I see

The common reasons people book.

Leg pain on walking

Cramping calf, thigh or buttock pain that comes on with walking and eases with rest (claudication). Usually narrowed leg arteries. Assessment, scan and a plan that often starts with walking and medication, not surgery.

Book an assessment

Carotid narrowing, TIA or minor stroke

A narrowed neck artery found after a TIA, or on a scan for something else. Time matters. Duplex scan and a decision on whether surgery would reduce your stroke risk.

Carotid surgery

Abdominal aortic aneurysm

A swelling of the main artery, found on screening or by chance. Surveillance when small; keyhole (EVAR) or open repair when it needs treating.

Aneurysms

Something your GP found

A missing pulse, a bruit, a wound that will not heal, cold or discoloured feet. A consultant opinion and a scan, so you know where you stand.

Book an assessment

Vascular health check

Ultrasound screening of the aorta, carotid and leg arteries for people with risk factors or a family history, with results on the day.

Screening

A second opinion

Already under a vascular team and want the options explained again, plainly, by someone who does the operations.

Get in touch

Independent patient information:The Circulation Foundation, the Vascular Society's charity, has clear, trustworthy guides to claudication, carotid disease, aneurysms and other circulation problems.

The appointment

A diagnosis, not another referral.

Consultation with a consultant

You see me, a consultant vascular surgeon, not a registrar or a nurse-led clinic: your history, an examination and any scans or letters you already have.

Duplex ultrasound, often the same visit

A painless scan of the arteries in question. We can often arrange it for the same visit; if not, it follows soon after and we go through the result together. Occasionally a CT is needed as well.

The plan, in writing

What it is, what it means, the options including doing nothing, and a letter to you and your GP.

If treatment is needed

I see it through myself.

If you need a procedure, I do it, and I see you afterwards. I explain the keyhole and open options plainly, including the option of doing nothing, and you decide with the full picture in front of you.
