The Whiteley Clinic Opiniones 735

As a 35 year old man, I have suffered since my late teens with brown stained, tired, heavy and itchy legs since my teens without really knowing or addressing the root cause. Living in Canada, I was referred by my GP to a local vascular clinic earlier this year who were quick to assess me (10 minute quick scan) and sell me a treatment option. Dissatisfied, I undertook extensive research for the best treatment options for varicose veins in the world.

I came across The Whiteley Clinic and was immediately impressed by its reputation. In early April, I travelled to the UK and had my initial assessment with Vicky and Dr Omar Abu-Bakr. Right from the offset, I was so impressed with the professionalism, extensive expertise and kindness displayed by them. The whole assessment process was two hours. I learned the outcome of my scan presented a diagnosis far more extensive than expected. I elected to have EVLA/TRLOP and phlebectomy treatment by Professor Mark Whiteley himself and returned to the UK last week to have both legs done across two days.

There are not enough positive words I can use to describe how absolutely amazing the team have been with me over the past week. Professor Whiteley is a brilliant mind and a genius; I’ve learned more about veins than I could ever care to know! He’s also an absolute hoot and quite the story teller; he kept me extremely entertained throughout all three procedures which put my mind at ease enormously.

I’d like to give a very special mention to Amanda who was present for all my procedures. There were a few uncomfortable parts that I struggled with, and she really felt like a second mum in many ways; incredibly kind, caring and compassionate. I really appreciated when she warned me what to expect at each stage of the process.

In summary, if you’re looking to get your varicose veins treated, look no further than The Whiteley Clinic. You will not be disappointed with the care you will receive, I promise you. I will post an update in 3-4 weeks sharing my progress.

From my first consultation at The Whiteley Clinic and throughout my treatment. Everything was first class. I have no more symptoms of varicose veins such as heavy legs, swollen veins in hot weather and no more ugly bulbous visible veins. My life is transformed. I am more confident and only wish I did this years ago. I’m really looking forward to this summer and a huge thank you to Professor Whiteley and his very professional and friendly team. I can highly recommend The Whiteley Clinic

I was fortunate enough to deal with both Mr Whiteley & Mr Pankhania during my journey - both were extremely knowledgable and reassuring. The end result was great, and I am so thankful they are pioneering pelvic congestion for men. The clinic itself was also very accommodating, and all staff I dealt with were professional.

From the moment I first contacted them, I explained my healthcare phobia, and their response was genuinely refreshing. Rather than dismissing my concerns, they took them seriously and asked what accommodations would help me feel comfortable.

Throughout my multiple visits for EVLA and foam sclerotherapy, their approach was consistently patient and understanding. The staff explained each step thoroughly before proceeding, gave me time to process information, and always checked I was comfortable before moving forward. They never made me feel rushed or that my anxiety was an inconvenience.

What impressed me most was how this patient-centered approach extended to everyone I encountered there - from reception staff to nurses to specialists. It felt like caring for anxious patients was built into their culture, not just the responsibility of one designated person.

For anyone worried about seeking treatment due to previous negative healthcare experiences or anxiety, I can honestly say The Whiteley Clinic provided the most supportive medical environment I've encountered. They managed to balance professional expertise with genuine kindness in a way that made a significant difference to my treatment journey.

If you're considering them for your care, particularly if you have anxiety around medical settings, I couldn't recommend them more highly!

After living with chronic pelvic pain and pelvic congestion syndrome for over 10 years, I finally found hope and real help at The Whiteley Clinic in London. I recently underwent a pelvic vein embolisation procedure there, and I can honestly say the experience has been life-changing.

From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel completely at ease. Everyone I encountered was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. For the first time in a decade, I felt genuinely listened to and understood. The level of knowledge and compassion they bring is truly exceptional.

The care I received was thorough and thoughtful — they took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and ensure I felt confident every step of the way. The staff were also very accessible whenever I needed follow-up information or reassurance, which made the whole process even smoother.

I’m incredibly relieved to have found a team that not only took my symptoms seriously but offered a solution that has the potential to truly change my quality of life for the better. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Whiteley Clinic to anyone struggling with similar issues — their expertise and dedication are unmatched.

My first consultation with Professor Whiteley was in depth with regard to order of treatment and how it was specific to my particular varicose vein problems concerning both legs. Procedures were very carefully explained and emphasis was placed on the absolute need to closely follow post-procedural advice.

Professor Whiteley conducted both the Laser procedure and later the foam procedure and I suffered no adverse outcomes from either. His sound advice throughout proved invaluable as the healing process progressed.

As an 82 year old woman who has had several National Health procedures over the past 40 years which, unfortunately, had only partial/temporary outcomes of short duration, I feel confident that the threat of dreaded ulcers has at last been addressed.

The Whiteley Clinic staff are to be highly commended:

Hamsa Ali Hussain who conducted my first scan
Tim Fernandez-Hart who conducted my second scan
Jenna Derry who conducted two further scans
Monique Giraud an excellent nursing practitioner
Emily Howlett - charming, informative receptionist

and finally but by no means least Ellie Taylor for her clarity of information at all times and for the many laughs we had over 'hole in the head' syndrome - mine I must add

My grateful thanks to all the above.

Finally, the Whiteley Clinic (London) provides exceptionally pleasant surroundings and Professor Whitley heads a highly professional team:
THANKS TO PROFESSOR WHITELEY

I was very pleased with my treatment from Ashleigh for a number of skin lesions. I was aware that they were too minor for NHS treatment but didn't know that there was somewhere you could go for treatment. I was very pleased with my session and outcome.

The whole team at the Whitely clinic were very friendly, careing and professional. They made the whole experience as comfortable as possible and I felt in very safe hands.

Omar and the team have done a brilliant job on my varicose veins. I am so pleased with the results! Thank you 😊

Very professional and friendly staff. State of the art treatment, which I can highly recommend to anyone suffering from varicose veins. I have had several treatments both in Guildford and Bournemouth.

I have been treated at The Whiteley Clinic for couple of years. Dr Andrew Willis and his team were absolutely brilliant. I was treated for the pelvic congestion syndrome and had the pelvic vein embolisation treatment. I was also treated for the varicose veins on both of my legs.
All the staff were very kind and welcoming. The professionalism of Dr Andrew Willis and his team is second to none.
I would highly recommend The Whiteley Clinic.

Last month, after finding out that I was 5 weeks pregnant, I went to see Mr Whiteley to check on a previous blockage in my veins. The vascular scientist, Hamsa, was incredibly attentive throughout the process. She let me rest for a moment, ensuring that I was feeling well before continuing. She was very kind and professional in her work.

As for Mr. Whiteley, he is an excellent doctor when it comes to insufficient veins. Throughout the consultation, he was highly professional and clearly explained everything, addressing any points that I found confusing. I will be going back to him for surgery on my insufficient veins after giving birth. I feel completely at ease and confident that everything will go smoothly. Mr. Whiteley and his team are amazing!

I had a pelvic vein procedure done in October 2024 with the lovely Dr Beckett. All the staff are just wonderful including Omar and the staff at the Henley clinic. They have also as a team tried to help my daughter who is a very complex case. Prof whitely has corresponded with her personally and this is helping her immensely. Thank you for giving me my life back …

My experience with Dr. Whiteley was upsetting and cannot recommend his services to anyone considering temporal artery ligation. In my case, not only were the results quite disappointing, but it actually made the appearance of my bulging arteries a lot worse. The 'before' and 'after' pictures on his website are perhaps cherry-picked (or even photoshopped). And a rather small sample given his claims of performing 70+ such procedures....

I strongly advise you to do thorough research and explore other professionals with a better and proven track record (most of the other doctors are significantly cheaper, and will re-do the procedure free of charge if the results are not satisfactory).

My experience with this clinic has been a costly, frustrating, and ineffective ordeal.

EDIT: I am indeed a real patient, and given the public nature of this forum, it is entirely reasonable for me to maintain my anonymity, particularly regarding my medical condition. However, your response does not align with the experience I had at your clinic. I am willing to share my 'before' and 'after' pictures with any prospective patients considering this procedure, so they can see for themselves the disappointing results of your work.

SECOND EDIT: I am sharing my concerns publicly because the personal feedback I provided was completely ignored. I reached out to your clinic several months ago to express my concerns about the outcome of the procedure but received no response. If you truly cared as much as you claim, you would have taken the time to investigate further—perhaps by asking for photos or following up in some way—but it seems you couldn’t be less interested. As another reviewer rightly pointed out, your clinic operates more like a money-making business where the patient’s well-being is a distant second priority.

28/01/2025:
Further clarification for prospective patients: Some of the information provided by this clinic is simply a bunch of lies. Firstly, the follow-up consultation is not free—I was quoted £200 for it (I have proof for that). Secondly, the claim that the corrective procedure is free of charge is another lie. There is no mention of this in the consent form I signed, the letters I received from the clinic, or during the initial consultation. It appears that the clinic provides inconsistent information to suit its narrative.

First class service by both surgeons. Had a consultation with a very friendly member of staff (free of charge) and made the decision to proceed. Had veins removed from my inner legs. A real personal touch and excellent aftercare. Fantastic service and a company I would definitely recommend.

I must be one of the unlucky ones only slight improvement to my ankle ulcer after laser treatment + other treatments to both legs. Staff were very friendly but no resolution of ulcer.

Mr Rocker and the Bristol team were brilliant during my leg vein op. They put me at ease and were skilled, efficient and kind. I am delighted with the results - no more aches, leg looks great. have worn skirts all summer after 20 years of covering ugly legs. Wish I had done this years ago!

This was my second procedure at the Whiteley Clinic and again I cannot fault anything! Everyone was so attentive and talked me through everything and everything was done to make my experience as positive as possible.

The kindness and the knowledge of the staff made me feel at ease from the start. I was informed of exactly how the procedure was going to be performed and how long it was going to take.

It was also of benefit to have a phone call the next day to see how I felt.

I can't fault the friendliness and efficiency of the way I was looked aafter by everyone at the Whiteley Clinic.
