Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon. In clinic: Tuesdays · English / Arabic.
Mr Abdullah Jibawi
GMC: 6036704
Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon · Lipoedema lead. In clinic: alternate Mondays.
Vascular care is rarely a single appointment with a single clinician. A patient with a leg ulcer, a diabetic foot wound, lymphoedema or a recent DVT benefits from a small specialist team working alongside the consultant. KONCEPT® is building that team in stages around our two consultants, so every patient is seen by the right clinician for the right step in their care.

Insurance & self-pay
You can be seen either through your private medical insurance or as a self-pay patient.
Private medical insurance. Most major UK insurers cover vascular consultation and treatment where there is a clinical indication, such as aching, swelling, skin changes, ulceration, recurrent phlebitis, or venous reflux confirmed on duplex ultrasound. Cosmetic-only treatment is not usually covered. Your insurer will normally request the consultant’s details and a brief clinical summary before authorising.
Recognition is at both clinic level and consultant level, and cover is expanding. Call 020 8129 1011 with your insurer and policy details and we’ll come back to you within one working day with confirmation, before any appointment is booked.
Self-pay. No GP referral is required and you can book directly. Pricing for every treatment is published on the Vascular Surgery pricing page, and you will receive a written quote covering consultation, imaging, the procedure and any follow-up before going ahead.

FAQs
A vascular surgeon is a doctor on the GMC Specialist Register who diagnoses and treats conditions of the arteries, veins and lymphatic system (other than the brain and heart). At KONCEPT®, the consultants’ private work is focused on vein and circulation care, including varicose veins, leg ulcers, lipoedema, lymphoedema, peripheral arterial disease and the diabetic foot.
See a vascular surgeon if you notice skin changes (darkening, dryness or eczema near the ankle), bleeding from a varicose vein, a non-healing ulcer, persistent swelling, a hard tender lump along a vein (possible superficial phlebitis), or sudden one-sided calf swelling and pain (possible DVT, seek urgent assessment). Cosmetic-only varicose veins without symptoms can still be treated, the urgency is lower.
Most are not, but they’re a sign of underlying venous reflux, which over time can lead to skin damage (lipodermatosclerosis), venous leg ulcers and superficial phlebitis. They also slightly increase the risk of bleeding from a knock to the leg. Treating significant varicose veins reduces these risks.
They can be. Typical symptoms include aching, heaviness, throbbing, itching, restlessness at night or tenderness over the vein, usually worse after long periods of standing or in warm weather. Small varicose veins can be symptomatic too.
You can’t prevent them entirely (genetics play a strong role), but you can reduce the risk, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, walk regularly, wear well-fitted compression stockings if your job involves long hours on your feet, maintain a healthy weight, and stay active. Once visible varicose veins have developed, they won’t resolve with conservative measures alone.
You will see a consultant vascular surgeon. The assessment, duplex ultrasound and any procedure at KONCEPT® are carried out by a consultant on the GMC Specialist Register for Vascular Surgery.
For self-pay, no, you can book directly. Most insurers allow direct booking. A small number of insurers still require a GP referral letter, and we will confirm what your insurer needs when you enquire.
At KONCEPT®: EVLA and RFA from £2,650, VenaSeal from £2,495, ClariVein from £1,995, foam sclerotherapy from £795, phlebectomy from £895 (all per leg). Initial consultation with duplex is £325 (one leg) or £495 (both). Full price list →
Yes, in most cases. Where additional imaging is needed, we’ll arrange it as quickly as possible.
Yes. Both Mr Moawad and Mr Jibawi hold substantive consultant posts at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust alongside their work at KONCEPT®.
Most major UK insurers cover treatment when a clinical indication exists (symptoms or venous reflux confirmed on duplex). Cosmetic-only treatment is not usually covered. Call 020 8129 1011 to confirm your insurer.
You can be seen as a self-pay patient. Depending on your policy, some insurers will reimburse against an itemised invoice, we provide the documentation you need to submit a claim. Call 020 8129 1011 to talk it through.
Most patients walk out the same day, return to normal daily activity within 24 to 48 hours and resume exercise within 1 to 2 weeks. Compression stockings are typically worn for up to two weeks (not required after VenaSeal). Detailed recovery advice is on the varicose vein treatment page.
Varicose veins are the larger, raised, rope-like veins caused by reflux in deeper venous channels. Thread / spider veins are very fine surface veins, usually less than 1 mm wide, and are most often a cosmetic concern. Techniques differ, see the varicose veins and thread veins pages.
Yes. KONCEPT® runs Monday to Sunday with extended weekday hours. We’ll match you to the next available slot at booking.
