What We Offer
Vein Conditions We Assess
Visible veins and leg symptoms can have different causes. Clinical assessment is what identifies the type of vein involved, whether further investigation makes sense, and which management options might apply.
Varicose Veins
Enlarged or twisted surface veins, most commonly in the legs. Can come with aching, heaviness, throbbing, swelling, itching or skin changes.
Spider Veins
Small red, blue or purple vessels close to the skin’s surface. Can appear alone, or alongside reticular veins, varicose veins or deeper venous reflux.
Reticular Veins
Usually blue or green vessels beneath the skin, larger than spider veins, smaller than typical varicose veins, and sometimes connected to a deeper source of reflux.
Venous Leg Ulcers
Slow healing sores, commonly near the ankle. Assessment looks at the wound, the surrounding skin and the underlying venous circulation.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
A blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg. Suspected DVT needs prompt medical assessment it shouldn’t wait for a routine vein-treatment appointment.
Facial Veins
Small visible vessels around the nose, cheeks and other areas of the face. Assessment identifies the vessel type and whether treatment or another approach fits.

Who We Are
About Dr Gurjit Dhillon and Vein Care
Dr Gurjit Dhillon is a phlebologist with qualifications including M.B.B.S. and F.A.C.P., focused on the assessment and management of venous disease.
Vein Care builds every consultation around clinical history, examination and duplex ultrasound where appropriate, before monitoring or treatment options are ever discussed.
When Should You Arrange a Vein Assessment?
Consider arranging an assessment if you have
- Visible bulging or twisted veins
- Persistent aching, heaviness or throbbing
- Ankle or lower leg swelling
- Itching, burning or skin discolouration
- Bleeding from a surface vein
- A slow-healing sore near the ankle
- New or recurrent veins after previous treatment
- Not every visible vein needs a procedure. Assessment is what
How It Works
What Happens During a Vein Assessment?
A vein assessment generally includes four stages
Clinical History
The clinician discusses your symptoms, medical history, medicines, previous treatment, blood clot history and reasons for seeking assessment.
Examination
The affected area is examined for visible veins, swelling, tenderness, skin changes, ulcers and other clinical signs.
Ultrasound (If Needed)
Ultrasound may be used to assess blood flow, identify venous reflux and map veins beneath the skin.
Treatment Discussion
Findings, treatment options, expected appointments, aftercare and likely costs are discussed before treatment decisions are made.
Ready to Discuss Your Vein Concerns?
Book an appointment to talk through your symptoms, history and assessment options. The appropriate next step monitoring, self care, further investigation or treatment is decided after clinical findings, not before.
Varicose Vein Treatment Options
No single treatment is appropriate for every patient. The options discussed depend on symptoms, the size and location of the affected veins, ultrasound findings, medical history, treatment goals and individual preferences.
Sclerotherapy & Microsclerotherapy
A sclerosant is injected into selected surface veins, closing them over time. Often considered for suitable spider veins, reticular veins and smaller tributary veins.
Learn About Sclerotherapy →
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound locates and guides treatment of selected veins beneath the skin that can't be adequately seen from the surface alone.

Endovenous Laser Treatment
EVLT uses an ultrasound-guided catheter and laser fibre to close selected refluxing veins from inside the vessel.

Cyanoacrylate Vein Glue
Medical adhesive is delivered into a selected abnormal vein under ultrasound guidance to close the treated section.
Learn About Vein Glue →
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Selected raised tributary veins are removed through small skin punctures or incisions, usually under local anaesthetic.

Compression Therapy
Compression stockings may help relieve symptoms such as aching, heaviness and swelling. Suitability depends on your condition and clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varicose veins, spider veins, reticular veins, venous leg ulcers, and selected concerns involving facial veins or possible venous disease. Suspected acute DVT or emergency symptoms need prompt medical assessment rather than a routine appointment.
Depends on the practitioner, the appointment type and any Medicare arrangements involved. Contact the clinic before booking to confirm whether you need one.
Not everyone does. It tends to come up when the clinician needs to check blood flow, identify reflux, look at veins beneath the skin, or plan treatment in more detail.
Generally a discussion of your symptoms and history, an examination, ultrasound if it’s indicated, then a rundown of what was found and what the options are.
No. Some don’t need a procedure at all. Where treatment makes sense, options can include sclerotherapy, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, EVLT, vein glue or ambulatory phlebectomy, depending on assessment.
A benefit may apply to some consultations, scans or procedures when current MBS requirements are met. Depends on the service and clinical findings the clinic can talk through likely fees after assessment.
Pick your nearest clinic, use the booking option, or call (03) 9813 1535 or 1300 568 676. The clinic can confirm availability and anything you need to prepare.
