Service Area · Sheffield Vein Clinic
Patients from Doncaster travel to Sheffield Vein Clinic for a consultant-led approach to varicose vein assessment and treatment, carried out at our clinic on Ecclesall Road.
Assessment and, where appropriate, treatment both take place at our clinic on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield — the service is consultant-led throughout, meaning Professor Stephen Goode, a Consultant Interventional Radiologist, personally carries out your duplex ultrasound scan and treatment planning rather than delegating this to a technician. You can submit an enquiry at any time to discuss a consultation; this doesn’t confirm an appointment, but starts the conversation with our clinic team.
Doncaster is well connected to Sheffield by road and rail, and a number of our patients from the Doncaster area come to us specifically for the continuity of a single consultant managing their care from the initial scan through to treatment. If you’ve been told you need a scan and separately need to see a specialist, it’s worth knowing that at Sheffield Vein Clinic both happen in the same appointment, with the same person.
Your first visit is a consultation with Professor Stephen Goode, including a full clinical assessment and, where clinically indicated, a duplex ultrasound scan performed by him personally — not delegated to a sonographer. This scan maps exactly where reflux is occurring in your veins. Together, you’ll discuss the treatment options relevant to your individual scan findings, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions before any decision is made. There’s no pressure to proceed with treatment at this stage.
Depending on what your duplex ultrasound shows, your treatment plan may include endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) to close an incompetent vein, foam sclerotherapy for smaller varicose tributaries, or microsclerotherapy for thread veins. If you’ve had treatment before and your varicose veins have returned, our recurrent varicose veins page explains how we approach reassessment. Every recommendation is based specifically on what your own scan shows, not a standard package.
Our pricing is transparent and published in full on our pricing page:
Doncaster connects to Sheffield via the A630 and the M18/M1, and also has a mainline railway station with regular services towards Sheffield. Once you arrive in Sheffield, Ecclesall Road is a short distance from the city centre. On-street parking is available near the clinic, subject to current signage — as with any cross-town journey, we’d suggest checking live traffic or rail conditions before you travel, particularly at peak times.
You can see genuine, consented before-and-after examples from patients treated at Sheffield Vein Clinic in our before & after gallery. Individual results vary, and treatment recommendations always follow your own consultation and duplex ultrasound findings.
Whether treatment is appropriate for you, and which option is most suitable, depends on your individual clinical assessment and duplex ultrasound findings — this page describes the general service, not a guaranteed course of treatment. If you notice sudden, significant leg swelling, redness or pain that develops quickly around a vein, this is occasionally a sign of a condition needing prompt medical assessment; our thrombophlebitis case study explains one such example and when to seek urgent care.
Do you treat patients who live outside Sheffield, such as those from Doncaster?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Doncaster and the wider South Yorkshire area. All assessment and treatment takes place at our Sheffield clinic.
How many visits will I need if I'm travelling from Doncaster?
This depends on your individual findings. Most patients need at least a consultation visit and, if treatment is recommended, a separate treatment visit — we'll always be clear about what's needed before you commit to anything.
What does the initial consultation include?
Your first visit is a 45-minute consultation with Professor Stephen Goode, including a full duplex ultrasound scan performed by him personally, and a written treatment plan if treatment is appropriate. This is £195.
Can I drive myself home after treatment?
Most patients are able to drive themselves home after EVLA or foam sclerotherapy, as these are performed under local anaesthetic. We'll confirm what's appropriate for you individually before your treatment visit.
I'm not sure whether my varicose veins need treatment at all — should I still book a consultation?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Not every varicose vein needs treating, and a duplex ultrasound scan is the only reliable way to know whether there's underlying reflux that would benefit from treatment, or whether monitoring is more appropriate. There's no obligation to proceed with treatment after your assessment.
How do I get in touch?
