I M very grateful for all Omar’s work and appreciated his approach to the problem. Things had got pretty bad before hand and the work he and his team did has been transformational. I have already recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

Dr Omar was very efficient and brisk in dealing with my vein issues. He explained the procedures clearly and patiently, and kept me amused during the discomfort of the operations with a steady stream of repartee. the wearing of the surgical stockings post-op was exceedingly uncomfortable and the pressure of the stockings on the bandages caused sores at my ankles that took 2 weeks to heal. I think more support could have been given by the clinic in helping with this issue, rather than simply saying “that’s how it is”!
Frances Gayne
Omar is a fantastic surgeon and has a very reassuring approach. I am so happy with the vein surgery I had with Omar he was so good at explaining exactly what was going to happen and my nerves quickly disappeared with his excellent bedside manner. I could not recommend him highly enough and The Whiteley Clinic.
Mark Goucher
Omar is terrific. I would thoroughly recommend him as a venous surgeon. He tells it straight and inspires confidence in his ability to identify root causes and address them through cutting edge surgery and methodologies. We are lucky to have him as a surgeon who is available to treat patients in the U.K. Long may it remain so!
Sally Smallwood

Left one burn thst was marked up
To be taken out once all the checks had been done, and it’s the main reason I went but it is still there, when I questioned it he said we can’t remove healthy veins, yet it was shown up not to be healthy and marked out clearly on my leg to come out, so fir the price I paid over £5000, I wasn’t totally satisfied
Jacqueline Davies
Dr Omar was brilliant. He made the many procedures as painless as possible. The results are still improving over two years later. I didn’t think I’d ever show my legs again, but now I can wear shorts or skirts without feeling self conscious.

Dr Omar is an outstanding surgeon. I spent a long time researching where to have my veins treated and am thrilled with the results. I felt very safe in his care, as his dedication and expertise are immediately apparent. I am very grateful for this life changing experience which for me was pain free.
