Vascular Surgeon in Richmond

KONCEPT® Vein Centre · Serving Richmond, TW9 & TW10

Vascular surgeon for Richmond

KONCEPT® Medical Clinic offers consultant-led vascular care to patients across Richmond upon Thames, from our CQC-registered clinic a short drive away in central Kingston. We treat varicose veins, leg ulcers, lipoedema, lymphoedema, the diabetic foot and peripheral arterial disease, with duplex ultrasound and most procedures carried out under local anaesthetic as a walk-in, walk-out day case.

Richmond, East Sheen, Kew, Ham and Petersham (TW9, TW10) are a straightforward drive along the A307 or a short train hop, so most patients are scanned and given a written plan on the same first visit in most cases.

Modern treatment

You don’t need open surgery for varicose veins any more

The old image of varicose vein treatment, a general anaesthetic, vein stripping and a week off your feet, has been replaced by minimally invasive techniques done through a needle under local anaesthetic. A fine fibre or catheter is passed into the faulty vein under ultrasound guidance and seals it from the inside, so blood reroutes through healthy deeper veins. Most people walk out the same day and return to normal activity quickly.

Vascular fact

What national guidance actually recommends first

UK guidance from NICE (CG168) sets a clear order of preference for treating varicose veins caused by reflux: endothermal ablation first (endovenous laser, EVLA, or radiofrequency ablation), then ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy if endothermal isn’t suitable, and open surgery only if neither is appropriate. Endothermal techniques close the treated vein in well over 90% of cases and are performed awake, under local anaesthetic, without a hospital admission. At KONCEPT® we offer the full range, EVLA, radiofrequency, VenaSeal glue and ClariVein, and choose between them based on your duplex scan.

Getting here

Reaching the clinic from Richmond

The clinic is at 46–48 Wood Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1UW. From Richmond town centre it is around 15 minutes by car via the A307 (Petersham Road / Kingston Road) past Ham, or a short rail journey to Kingston followed by a five-minute walk. East Sheen and Kew patients come in via the South Circular and A307. Parking is available at the nearby Bentall Centre and Sopwith Way car parks.

We also serve Kingston upon Thames, Surrey (Surbiton & New Malden), Wimbledon & Putney and Teddington.

Your first visit

What to expect at your appointment

Your history, examination, duplex ultrasound and, where appropriate, your treatment are carried out by a consultant on the GMC Specialist Register for Vascular Surgery. Same-day scanning means most Richmond patients with straightforward disease leave with a written plan after one visit; where deep venous or arterial disease is suspected, a dedicated scan may still be needed and will be arranged. Initial consultation with duplex ultrasound is £365 (one leg) or £520 (both legs) self-pay, with no GP referral required.

Your consultants

Consultant-led, on practising privileges

Care is led by Mr Magdy Moawad and Mr Abdullah Jibawi, consultant vascular and endovascular surgeons. They hold substantive NHS consultant posts and see private patients at KONCEPT® on a practice-privileges basis, with KONCEPT® as the CQC-regulated facility. Both are BUPA-recognised, fee-assured consultants.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Where do Richmond patients go for varicose vein treatment?

KONCEPT® Medical Clinic in central Kingston upon Thames (KT1 1UW) serves Richmond, East Sheen, Kew, Ham and Petersham, around 15 minutes away via the A307. Call 020 8129 1011 to book.

Which varicose vein treatment is best?

It depends on your duplex scan. NICE recommends endothermal ablation (EVLA or radiofrequency) first, then foam sclerotherapy, then surgery only if neither suits. At KONCEPT® we offer EVLA, radiofrequency, VenaSeal and ClariVein and select the right one for your veins.

Is treatment done under general anaesthetic?

No. Endovenous treatments are performed awake, under local anaesthetic, as a day case. You walk in and walk out, with no overnight stay.

How quickly can I get back to normal?

Most people return to everyday activity quickly after endovenous treatment, often the same or next day, with walking encouraged. Your consultant gives you tailored aftercare on the day.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral is needed for a self-pay consultation. Some insurers request one, so call 020 8129 1011 with your insurer details and we will confirm.
