In 1992, Dr Robert Fris MB ChB FRCS(C) FACS FACP, recognised that there were less invasive treatments than surgery and that there was a need for a vein clinic of excellence dedicated to safe, non-surgical treatments for Varicose Veins. But he also recognised that patients wanted safe treatment for cosmetic reasons as well, and in a modern, friendly, and understanding environment.
And so The Vein Centre became the first clinic in New Zealand solely dedicated to the management of problem veins. It remains as the varicose vein clinic recognised by ALL major insurance companies*. Because we only deal with varicose veins, and because of our experience, we are very good at what we do.
In 2018 Dr Jerzy Nowacki became the new leader of the Centre. He is a vocationally registered phlebologist trained in multiple centres in the world, with many years of experience in the field.
The team also teaches other Doctors, including surgeons and Professors, in their techniques, and their Vascular Sonographers are active in passing on their skills to colleagues in the public hospitals.
The Vein Centre is Southern Cross Affiliated and NIB First Choice clinic, also recognised by other major insurance companies.
