New Patients at Advanced Vascular
Whether your veins have been bothering you for years or you only noticed something recently, the goal for your first visit is the same: a clear picture of what’s going on and what your options are, without any guesswork. Dr Aziz takes the time to understand your situation before recommending anything.

Does This Sound Like You?
Varicose veins don’t follow one pattern. Most of the patients Dr Aziz sees are women, roughly three out of every four, though plenty of men come through as well. Ages typically range from the mid-20s right through to the mid-70s, and many people have simply lived with the problem for decades before deciding to get it looked at properly. There’s often a family link too, though it’s inconsistent. One sibling might develop varicose veins while another never does.
Routines That Can Worsen Symptoms
Your job or lifestyle won’t have caused your varicose veins in the first place, but certain routines can make the symptoms more noticeable. Long stretches on your feet (in retail, hospitality, on the land, or on a ward) or long stretches sitting still (behind a desk, driving, or at a machine) can both leave you with more aching, swelling, or visible veins by the end of the day.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Dr Aziz will first ask about your health history, anything you’ve tried before, and what’s bothering you, whether that’s discomfort, appearance, or both. From there, he’ll examine you and, in most cases, carry out an ultrasound scan himself using portable equipment, so you get your results on the same visit rather than waiting on a referral to someone else.
Once assessed, Dr Aziz will walk you through your options and recommend a plan suited to your specific veins, with costs and next steps explained clearly before you commit to anything. For most varicose vein patients, that plan is refreshingly short: assessment, scan, treatment, and perhaps one follow-up visit, and you’re done.
Booking and Private Health, Made Simple
You can call Advanced Vascular directly, and if you’d like a referral on file, it’s simple to arrange with your GP once your appointment is confirmed.
If you’re covered by private health insurance, your treatment is typically covered in full, with no out-of-pocket gap to pay. And if you’ve been referred to the public system and you’re facing a long wait, you don’t have to sit it out. Booking with Advanced Vascular privately is usually the faster route to being seen.
