Dr Paul Varcoe established The Leg Vein Clinic in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in 1995 to provide the most up-to-date treatment of all vein problems including varicose and spider veins. The Leg Vein Clinic offer treatments to help with the appearance and discomfort of varicose veins with either Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy or Laser Ablation depending on the severity of your varicose veins. We also treat superficial spider veins with standard sclerotherapy. All assessments and procedures for varicose or spider veins are carried out at our Gold Coast Clinic, without the need for hospitalisation, general anaesthetic, loss of work time or disruption to your every day activities. All patients walk out of our clinic after any type of treatment!

Flashy advertising or experience of the doctor?

Beware of doctors who are claiming great experience who are not in a supervised training program or have not completed their training. Be also informed that Membership of different Colleges, including overseas Colleges, simply means that the doctor has paid membership fees and DOES NOT indicate that the doctor has any specific level of expertise. Only Fellows of the Australasian College of Phlebology have the right to be called a Phlebologist. A "Certified Sclerotherapist" is the most "junior" qualification and can be gained with only 1 year of experience.

The qualifications of the practitioner you are considering can easily be checked on the Australasian College of Phlebology Website.  Learn more and see our checklist
