Mr Bruce Braithwaite

Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon

MChir, Ma, MB, FRCS (gen. Surg.)

Mr Bruce Braithwaite is an experienced Senior Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, with a wealth of over 30 years of experience in treating patients with varicose veins and various other vascular conditions. Mr Braithwaite works both privately and for the NHS and is the founder of the private practice "Veincare".

He has been a Consultant Vascular Surgeon since 2000, after completing his specialist training in Cambridge, Oxford, London and even in the USA. In the past 10 years, Mr Braithwaite has treated over 3000 patients with varicose veins and other conditions in his private practice.

He is widely acknowledged as an expert in local anaesthesia and varicose vein treatment. In order to spare his patients from having to return for further procedures, Mr Braithwaite strives to treat all of the varicose veins in a single session. What's more, he offers a similar service for patients requiring, or wishing, to have their treatments under general anaesthetic or sedation as a day case of overnight.

Mr Braithwaite is always on hand to advise other consultants on how best to treat people with varicose veins and deep venous disease. He has also treated many of his medical colleagues, thanks to his reputation for giving an expert opinion, using an evidence-based approach and only advising to perform a procedure when absolutely necessary.
