I felt totally at ease at this centre
I felt totally at ease at this centre, friendly staff from start to finish. Dexter did my treatment, great communication, didn't feel worried at all going forward with the procedures. Really pleased with my results, reflux free & looking forward to seeing the final results on the cosmetic side since my second visit.

Really friendly and very knowledgeable
These people are terrific, and very friendly. I met Dexter, lovely man, really knows his stuff and was very thorough, went into lots of detail. Nurse Liz was amazing too, and Michelle on reception was incredible I would recommend the Veincentre in Canterbury to anybody looking to have their veins looked at. I advised my Husband to visit the Veincentre. Afterwards he was equally impressed by his treatment by Dexter and the lovely Michelle, had a different but equally lovely Nurse. I really can't praise them enough. It's the best thing I have done, and I wish I'd heard from them sooner. I would recommend them to anybody with even small veins.

Disappointed with my treatment outcome
I am writing publicly in the hope that The Vein Centre Canterbury will finally respond to my concerns.
I paid approximately £3,000 for sclerotherapy treatment to remove my varicose veins. Following completion of the treatment, I had to return a few months later because a vein on my knee remained clearly visible and had not been successfully treated.
In addition, the brown staining caused by the treatment, which was carried out in July last year, is still present on both legs. The staining follows the treated vein tracts and is very obvious. I was advised that this should improve over time, but almost a year later it remains clearly visible and has become a significant cosmetic concern.
Over the last 10 day, I have sent three separate emails to the clinic asking for advice, support and information about how these issues can be addressed. Despite these repeated attempts to make contact, I have received no response, acknowledgement or telephone call.
While I understand that no medical treatment can guarantee perfect results and that side effects can occur, I do expect an appropriate standard of aftercare and communication, particularly after spending £3,000 on treatment. The complete lack of response has been extremely disappointing and has left me feeling ignored.
I would welcome a response from The Vein Centre Canterbury to explain why my enquiries have gone unanswered and to discuss what options may be available regarding the persistent staining and the unsatisfactory treatment outcome.
Until these concerns are addressed, I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience

Hi Tracey,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback although we are very sorry to read your comments and would like the opportunity to put this right for you.
It's important to say that following treatment, some degree of staining can occur and may take time to settle. We completely appreciate how frustrating this must be and we'd like to reassess you to see how we can help.
Not receiving a reply to your emails is not the level of service we aim to provide. We have been very busy but that is no excuse, we should and will do better.
We’d really like the opportunity to review your treatment and ensure this is resolved in a way that you're happy with. A member of our team will be in touch to discuss this further and provide support.
With best wishes
Dilly
Friendly and clear on all counts
Would have been 5* but my 9.30 appointment was 20 mins late starting. Excellent customer service otherwise and easy and clear explanations.

We appreciate you highlighting this and hope to welcome you again in the future.

I had a really great experience at the Vein Centre Canterbury. Nelan was fantastic throughout — professional, friendly and really put me at ease. The service from start to finish was excellent, and most importantly, my leg already feels so much better. I would highly recommend them.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, however, we are sorry to read your comments. This isn’t the service we want to provide, particularly in relation to the delay you experienced on arrival and any confusion around your appointment.
Continuity of care with the same Consultant in every appointment is very important to us, and we’re pleased this was identified and corrected ahead of your treatment. We appreciate you highlighting this as it gives us the opportunity to review your experience internally.
