Liverpoolvascularclinic Reviews 

Mr Neequaye is lovely. Very easy to talk to. He is caring. He listens and explains things thoroughly. I just wish he was a Wigan consultant.

After researching numerous vascular consultants in the Liverpool area I'm delighted that I chose to have my significant veins assessed, and subsequently treated, by Simon and his team. From the 1st meeting his friendly and professional approach has been great. He outlined the various options available to me and answered the endless questions I had. So far I've had my right leg treated (see the before and after page) and I've had a great result. I'm now waiting for a date for my left leg surgery. I would highly recommend Simon and his team for any vascular treatment.

Having been recommended Simon Neequaye and the Liverpool Vascular Clinic - I have received excellent care and service. Consultation, diagnostic evaluation, surgery and after care have all been first class - resulting in a new pair of legs for me, which are pain free after the removal of unsightly and troublesome varicose veins.

Consultant Vascular Surgeon
Provided an excellent service.

I attended my appointment at the spire today. The staff were really friendly and Mr Neequaye was great and explained everything clearly and answered all my questions.

Caring attitude and understanding,empathy and reassurance

I had vascular surgery at Aintree hospital on 31.10.22. Subsequently, I was an inpatient for four days on the vascular ward. Prior to that, I had met with Mr Neequaye at the Vascular lab at the Royal Liverpool hospital in mid September 2022. The overall experience was very impressive and I had a strong sense of a very integrated and efficient service that was able to develop appropriate treatments in a clear and timely manner.

There was a very clear and transparent assessment process at the Royal Liverpool hospital. At the conclusion of assessment, a decision was made collaboratively with myself. A second opinion was also offered by a professor of vascular surgery. I had never undertaken any form of surgery before and was very anxious at the experience. The staff I spoke to prior to surgery, were calm and reassuring. They presented as highly competent experienced professionals and this helped to mitigate some of the anxieties I was experiencing at the time.

Post surgery, I spent three nights and four days on the Vascular ward. The inpatient staff were kind, responsive and helpful. During the day, the atmosphere on the ward was generally quite relaxed. One of the surgeons who undertook the operation came to visit me on the ward and gave some clear feedback about the likely outcome of the surgery. Again, this was enormously helpful.

My only suggestions for improvement would be that the ward was quite noisy at night and it was difficult to sleep. I appreciate that this appears to be a common experience for people in inpatient units; however, there did appear to be opportunities for making things less noisy. For example, people could be asked to not play mobile device devices and music after a certain time of the evening, e.g. 9 am. It was quite difficult to sleep with one patient playing music at approximately 1 am in the morning on one evening. I was also situated quite near to the nursing station. In the early morning, when the change of nursing shift took place, I could also hear the nurses going through a description of the patients progress on the ward. This did not particularly bother me but I think it there are confidentiality issues here that could be considered.

I completed an online enquiry via the Liverpool Vascular Clinic website at around 10pm one night in between Christmas and New Year and the next day had a direct email response from Mr Neequaye. He was extremely helpful in answering any queries and even responded over the bank holiday weekend. A detailed vascular scan and consultation was organised the day the hospital opened after the Bank Holiday. Rick the vascular scientist carried out a thorough scan and took time to answer any queries or concerns I had. Mr Neequaye then answered any queries and talked me through management options. The whole process from start to finish was excellent and I really feel that they are a dedicated and caring team.

Very helpful Consultant, Simon Neequaye. Did a thorough examination and explained options. Would highly recommend.

Earlier this year, I met with Mr Neequaye as I was suffering from painful varicose veins in my left leg.

The treatment I received was in the form of a "left RFA to GSV + foam sclerotherapy’. This treatment was completed in less than an hour and whilst the local anaesthetic hurt slightly, the rest of the procedure was very straightforward and painless.

The whole experience from start to finish was simple and highly professional and I am extremely grateful for the teams skills in solving my problem.

Very pleased with the results of my varicose veins procedure and all the support and service provided. All the staff at the Liverpool Spire and Doctor Neequay, were professional, kind and supportive at all times.
