I have had a phobia about needles, hospitals etc for years.Eventually the appearance and discomfort in my leg was really affecting me.With some encouragement, and awareness that a friend had used Dr Wests clinic for vein treatment, I picked up the telephone and made an appointment.The following week I had consultation in the morning,back at 3pm for sedative(which I requested) EVLA treatment at 4pm and all over in half an hour. After about six weeks I returned for some scelotherapy treatment(this time without sedative-i did not feel that I needed it ).All the pain and aches I had in my leg have gone and the large ugly vein is disappearing slowly-i was told this can take up to three months. The clinic is nothing like a hospital environment, which used to add to my fears and the staff are extremely professional and friendly.I was able to take someone in with me throughout the process.I still can't believe I have voluntarily had a medical procedure done after years of needle phobia but believe me if I can do it you can. I would like to thank Dr West and his staff for their kindness and understanding . At no time did they make me feel silly about my phobia or make a big deal out of it. I cannot praise the clinic enough-thank you all.
