Vein Physician

Dr Elizabeth De Felice - MBBCh, Cert Sclerotherapy

Elisabeth is our senior physician who has been associated with venous problems since 1994. She examines patients with varicose vein problems and recommends treatment options. She manages the non-operative treatments, as well as assisting at surgery. This gives her an allround balanced overview of the many problems we see. She has a certificate in sclerotherapy and is a member of the Australasian College of Phlebology. Elisabeth is also trained in Appearence Medicine and subscribes to the 'less is more' school of thought when it comes to botox and fillers.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound has had a huge impact on the diagnosis and treatment of venous problems since first used on veins in the early 1990's. Vein & Laser is fortunate in having two of the most experienced venous ultrasonographers.

Bronwen Allen - DSR, DMU
Bronwen has being scanning veins since the first dedicated vein clinic opened in 1994 and had many years of experience in general ultrasound prior to that. Now she works only with veins and loves it, still finding them fascinating and challenging.

Daryl Queenin: - DSR, ASAR
Likewise, Daryl is also passionate about veins, joining the team in 1996. Daryl still works at other practices in Auckland, so keeps us up to date with other areas of scanning.

Between them, Bronwen and Daryl perform all the mapping scans, (which clarify the variants in anatomy and establish the underlying problems), DVT scans and any pre-operative marking. They also assist with Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS), EVLT (laser).

Mr Stan Govender - MBChB, FRACS

He provides a comprehensive surgical service with routine pre-op ultrasound scanning and is a member of the Australasian Society of Phlebology. Stan's meticulous approach achieves consistently beautiful results. Stan trained in South Africa, but finished his post graduate studies in New Zealand, specialising now in vein and breast surgery.
