Prof Whiteley is second to none in the world of varicose vein treatments. I had the privilege of having been trained by him in person. His personality and the rooted passion for venous diseases are the driving force of the Clinic. Not only prof Whiteley is a brilliant vein surgeon, he is also a great colleague and a friend. I could not recommend Prof Whiteley high enough for any venous related condition.
