Service Area · Sheffield Vein Clinic
Dronfield is one of the closest towns to Sheffield Vein Clinic, and we’re pleased to welcome patients from Dronfield for consultant-led varicose vein assessment and treatment 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.
Sitting just over the Derbyshire border, Dronfield is close enough to Sheffield that many residents already consider the city their natural destination for specialist healthcare. For varicose vein assessment specifically, that proximity means a full duplex ultrasound scan and consultant opinion is genuinely convenient rather than a special trip — appointments can often be fitted around work or family commitments without losing a whole day.
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:
Dronfield is one of the nearest towns to Sheffield, connected directly via the A61, and also has its own railway station with services towards Sheffield. It’s a short, familiar journey for most Dronfield residents. On-street parking is available near the clinic on Ecclesall Road, subject to current signage — we’d still suggest checking live traffic conditions if you’re driving at a busy time of day.
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.
Does Sheffield Vein Clinic have a Dronfield clinic?
No — we have one clinic location, on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield. Given how close Dronfield is, most patients find the journey straightforward.
Is Dronfield covered by the same service as Chesterfield?
Dronfield and Chesterfield are both welcome at our Sheffield clinic, but they're different towns with different journeys — see our separate Chesterfield page if that's more relevant to you.
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?
