SPECIAL INTEREST
For the last 20 years my major concern is Phlebology – diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases. In 2004 I was involved in creating the first UAE Phlebology Center in Rashid Hospital – Dubai. I am concentrating on using the latest, most advanced and less invasive methods of vein treatment in my practice. During my personal experience in Phlebology I have treated patients by: Endovenous Laser, Radiofrequency, Foam Sclerotherapy, Glue Venous Closer, miniphlebectomy and conventional vein surgery.
I am also performing aesthetic sclerotherapy and electrocoagulation for small spiders and reticular veins of the lower limbs, small teleangiectasias of the face and other parts of the body.
