Dr Dhillon’s Approach to Vein Care
Every patient’s symptoms, medical history and vein anatomy are different. Dr Dhillon’s approach begins with understanding the patient’s concerns and identifying whether symptoms may be connected to superficial venous disease or another cause.

Vein Conditions Assessed at Vein Care
Vein Procedures and Diagnostic Services
Vascular Ultrasound and Mapping
Vascular ultrasound and mapping may be used to examine blood flow, identify venous reflux and map abnormal veins before treatment planning. It can provide information about veins not visible from the skin surface and help determine suitable treatment options.
Sclerotherapy and Microsclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosant into selected veins to help them close. Microsclerotherapy may be used for finer visible veins.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy allows selected veins beneath the skin to be viewed during treatment, improving accuracy for deeper or non-visible veins.
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)
EVLT uses laser energy delivered through a fibre to close abnormal veins under ultrasound guidance. It shows approximately 90% success over a 3–5 year period.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy removes selected bulging surface veins through very small skin openings under local anaesthetic as a minimally invasive procedure.
Cyanoacrylate Vein Glue
Cyanoacrylate treatment uses medical adhesive to close selected veins. Suitability depends on vein anatomy, symptoms and ultrasound findings.
What Patients Can Expect

Frequently Asked Questions
A phlebologist is a medical practitioner with further education and clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of venous disease. The Australasian College of Phlebology states that candidates who complete its fellowship training may use the title Phlebologist and the post-nominal F.A.C.P. Phlebology is not currently recognised as a distinct AMC medical specialty.
Vein Care and the Boronia Specialist Suites professional profile list Dr Dhillon’s qualifications as M.B.B.S., F.A.C.P. (Fellow of the Australasian College of Phlebology) and a Graduate Certificate of Health Sciences in Medical Sonography from the University of Sydney. He is also a member of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Phlebology.
Current practitioner registration can be checked through the official AHPRA public register at ahpra.gov.au. Search using the practitioner’s full name and profession to confirm registration status and location.
Dr Dhillon worked in general practice for more than 30 years before completing his Fellowship of the Australasian College of Phlebology. He has specialised in non-surgical venous disease treatment for more than 16 years. These figures are sourced from the Boronia Specialist Suites professional profile and should be confirmed by the clinic before publication.
The first appointment usually includes a discussion of symptoms, relevant medical history and treatment goals. A clinical examination is performed, and duplex ultrasound may be recommended if deeper veins or venous reflux need assessment. The findings, available options, costs and expected follow-up are then discussed before any treatment decision is made.
Not every visible vein requires the same investigation. Ultrasound may be recommended when symptoms, larger varicose veins or suspected venous reflux require further assessment before treatment planning. It helps map abnormal veins and provides information that can guide the most appropriate treatment approach.
Treatment costs depend on the procedure type, number of sessions, Medicare eligibility and private health cover. Fees are discussed during the initial consultation. Some treatments may attract Medicare rebates when strict clinical criteria are met, including documented reflux and significant symptoms. Cosmetic vein treatment is generally not covered by Medicare. Ask the clinic for a personalised estimate before proceeding.
No. Vein Care’s published services include assessment and treatment options for varicose veins, spider veins, reticular veins, venous leg ulcers, facial veins and other venous concerns. Treatment suitability depends on the condition, symptoms, ultrasound findings and medical history.
Vein Care focuses on minimally invasive treatment options, including sclerotherapy, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, EVLT and cyanoacrylate vein glue. Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure involving very small skin openings under local anaesthetic, rather than a fully non-surgical technique.
Patients may discuss preferences, but the most suitable option depends on examination and ultrasound findings, vein anatomy, symptoms, medical history and likely benefits and risks. A treatment should not be selected solely because it is newer or appears more convenient.
Vein Care operates clinics in Camberwell (Suite 307, 685 Burke Road), Boronia (Level 1, 157 Scoresby Road) and Sydenham (574 Melton Hwy). Appointment availability can vary by location, so patients should select their preferred clinic in the booking form or contact the practice on +61 3 7064 8670 before visiting.
