London Veins - Consultant vascular Surgeon
Mark Whiteley is a consultant vascular surgeon working in Guildford and London.
Having specialised in veins and varicose vein conditions for several years, Mr Whiteley introduced the VNUS Closure system to the UK. (www.veins.co.uk)
Now having set up The Whiteley Clinic, Mr Whiteley and his colleagues Mr Barrie Price and Miss Cathy McGuinness, are bringing the latest advances and techniques for varicose vein treatments to their patients. (www.thewhiteleyclinic.co.uk)
We now offer VNUS Closure, EVLT (laser) under general or local anaesthetic, and foam sclerotherapy - in addition to traditional varicose vein surgery.
Mark introduced keyhole surgery for varicose veins into the UK in March 1999 and then introduced Laser Sweat Ablation for under-arm sweating into the UK in March 2009.
The Whiteley Clinic:
Mark Whiteley set up The Whiteley Clinic in 2001 as a specialist centre for
the "walk in walk out" treatment of varicose veins. He had been the first doctor
in the country to perform VNUS Closure for varicose veins, and it was this
operation in March 1999 that started the interest in keyhole surgery for
varicose veins.
Subsequent to his first operation, Mark continued to develop other techniques
taking on endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), foam sclerotherapy and inventing the
TRLOP closure for treating perforating veins of the legs.
Mark was joined by Judy Holdstock, senior vascular technologist, in 1999 and has
built a team around him of expert consultant surgeons, radiologists,
phlebologists, vascular technologists as well as nurses and administrative
staff.
Always an innovator, Mark performed the first Laser Sweat Ablation (LSA)
operation in the UK in March 2009. At that stage it was a new procedure and
needed considerable modification. Mark and his team have continued to perfect
the technique so that Laser Sweat Ablation is only performed by Mark Whiteley
all those that he has trained in his new techniques.
