If your job keeps you standing for hours, your leg veins may feel the strain.

Blood tends to pool in the lower legs, leading to aching, swelling, or varicose veins.

Occupational health is a big focus in Australia right now; simple changes at work — like moving regularly or wearing compression socks — can protect your vascular health.

Spider veins may look harmless, but they can sometimes point to deeper vein issues.

If you also experience heaviness, aching or swelling, it’s worth getting checked.

In Australia, awareness is growing around early detection of chronic venous disease.

An ultrasound can tell us if there’s more going on under the surface.

A phlebectomy is a simple procedure to remove bulging surface veins through tiny incisions.

It’s often done after laser or glue treatments to tidy up what’s left.

Minimally invasive treatments like this are becoming more common in Australia, helping reduce discomfort and downtime.

Living with diabetes means paying close attention to your feet.

Even a small cut or blister can lead to serious infection if circulation is poor.

Foot complications are one of the most common reasons for diabetes-related hospital admissions in Australia.

Daily foot checks and early vascular assessment can help avoid ulcers and amputations.

A wound around your ankle that won’t go away could be a venous ulcer.

This happens when leg veins can’t properly send blood back up to the heart.

With Australia’s ageing population and increasing rates of chronic venous disease, venous ulcers are becoming more common; but they’re also treatable.

Compression therapy and vascular assessment can help your skin heal.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) often has no symptoms — but it can be life-threatening if it ruptures.

If you’ve had one picked up during screening, regular monitoring is key.

AAAs are more common in older Australians, especially men with a history of smoking.

We offer both keyhole and open surgical options depending on the size and location.

Leg pain while walking isn’t always caused by a nerve or muscle problem.

It could be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your legs.

This condition affects many Australians, particularly those over 60 or with a history of smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

If your symptoms ease when you stop walking, a vascular ultrasound can help pinpoint the cause.

If a wound isn’t healing after weeks, poor circulation could be a factor.

When blood flow to the skin and tissue is reduced, even small cuts can turn into chronic ulcers. This is especially common in people with or long-term vein issues.

Chronic wounds are a growing health concern in Australia; early vascular assessment can support better healing and help prevent serious complications.

When you stop smoking, your blood vessels thank you — almost straight away.

Smoking narrows your arteries and damages the lining of your blood vessels. It also reduces oxygen in the blood and increases clot risk.

Quitting is one of the best things you can do for your circulation. It lowers your risk of heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, and leg ulcers.

You don’t have to do it alone: talk to your GP about support options.

Noticing blue or purple toes or fingers, especially when cold? It could be a sign of reduced blood flow.

This might happen with conditions like acrocyanosis or Raynaud’s — both linked to how your blood vessels respond to temperature or stress.

Sometimes it’s harmless, but other times it’s your body telling you that circulation isn’t what it should be.

Always check with your GP or vascular specialist if symptoms persist or worsen.

Ever been told you need a vascular ultrasound? Most of the time, that means a duplex ultrasound. It’s a safe, non-invasive scan that uses soundwaves to check how well blood is flowing through your arteries and veins.

It helps us detect things like narrowed arteries, clots, or weak valves in your veins. The scan is painless and doesn’t use radiation.

It’s a key part of diagnosing vascular conditions — and it often guides your treatment plan.

People often ask if there’s a difference between seeing me publicly or privately. The answer? The care and skill stay the same — but the process can differ.

In the private system, wait times are usually shorter and you can access a broader range of treatment options more quickly.

In the public system, you still receive expert care, but the process may take longer depending on urgency.

No matter where you’re seen, your health is the priority.
