Dr Stephen Goode

Dr Stephen Goode is a Consultant Vascular and Interventional Radiologist with over 20 years experience treating venous disease using modern, minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided techniques.

He specialises in the assessment and treatment of varicose veins, focusing on relieving symptoms, improving appearance, and helping patients return quickly to normal life. Every treatment plan is personalised — based on careful assessment, clear explanation, and what matters most to the individual patient.

Dr Goode’s approach is calm, transparent, and consultant-led from first consultation through to follow-up.

Clinical Background & Expertise

Dr Goode trained in medicine at the University of Leicester and completed a PhD in vascular surgery at the University of Nottingham. He later undertook advanced fellowship training in Interventional Radiology and has spent his consultant career working at the forefront of minimally invasive vascular treatment within the NHS.

Alongside his private practice, he continues to work as a Consultant Vascular and Interventional Radiologist in a major UK teaching hospital, where his work includes complex arterial and venous interventions and emergency vascular procedures. This breadth of experience underpins his meticulous and reassuring approach to vein treatment in the clinic setting.

His areas of expertise include:

• Comprehensive varicose vein assessment
• Duplex ultrasound assessment venous system
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
• Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
• Microsclerotherapy to treat thread veins
• Thermavein treatments to lower limb and face
• Treatment of recurrent or complex vein disease
• Management of venous symptoms such as pain, swelling, heaviness, and skin changes
• All procedures are performed using real-time ultrasound guidance to maximise precision, safety, and outcomes.

Extension into Endo-Laser Procedures

In addition to his venous practice, Dr Goode applies the same principles of precision, anatomical understanding, and controlled energy delivery to minimally invasive endo-laser skin tightening and focal fat reduction procedures.

These treatments use targeted laser energy delivered beneath the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve contour. As with all his work, careful patient selection, conservative treatment planning, and realistic expectation-setting are central to his approach. Endo-laser procedures are offered to selected patients following in-person consultation and detailed assessment.

Approach to Patient Care

Dr Goode believes that understanding the problem is central to successful treatment. He takes time to explain findings clearly, discuss options honestly, and ensure patients feel informed and confident before proceeding.

Patients consistently describe his manner as reassuring and thorough — with care extending beyond the procedure itself into follow-up and recovery.
