Specialist Vein Health

Location :

Dr L Taumoepeau and Mr JK Wicks are Australasian trained vascular and endovascular surgeons. We practice in Kapiti, Lower Hutt, Palmerston North and Nelson, are fulltime consultants for Wellington’s Capital Coast Health and work together in private practice in Wellington.
Our ambition is to provide advanced and minimally invasive techniques at affordable levels and empower people to take control of their health.
In the past, varicose veins were stripped with a surgical procedure under a general anaesthetic, but today, we use the most advanced treatment which means; a day procedure, minimal time off work post procedure, significantly reduced cost to the patient, little or no scarring and minimal pain.
Specialist Vein Health specialises in carotid artery surgery, Thoracic & Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) repair, Varicose Veins Surgery & Endovascular Radiofrequency Ablation (EVFA) and varicose eczema and varicose ulcers.
