Dr Omar is a superstar. He loves what he does with every fibre of him and you can tell. His passion for veins is wonderful to hear and see. I’ll never forget the first time he saw my varicose veins, he called them beautiful.. something I have never heard ever. His humour was very welcome and helped put me at ease. Thank you Dr Omar for your skill, personality and this wonderful experience.
