About me

Mr. Alexander Watson is a Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon with over 20 years of specialist experience in the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and vascular conditions. He prides himself in being a friendly, open and approachable surgeon who treats patients how he himself would want to be treated whilst also achieving the best outcomes possible. Professional but down to earth, he avoids complicated medical jargon ensuring patients understand their condition and the treatment options available to them.
Alex specialises in minimally invasive varicose vein treatments, including endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation RFA), foam sclerotherapy and microsurgical phlebectomy. His consultations always include a comprehensive duplex ultrasound scan, enabling him to explain your condition clearly and create a bespoke, evidence?based treatment plan tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle and cosmetic goals.
Unlike many national chain vein clinics where treatment pathways can be generic or fragmented, Alex provides continuity of care from first consultation to post?procedure follow?up, ensuring every patient receives personalised, high?quality care.
All treatments are offered on a 'walk?in, walk?out' basis using the latest, state?of?the?art minimally invasive techniques. Most procedures take around one hour, require only local anaesthetic, and allow patients to return to work or normal activities the next day with minimal discomfort or downtime.

NHS Expertise with Private?Sector Accessibility:
Alex runs a busy NHS practice at both Dorset County Hospital and Royal Bournemouth Hospital, allowing his private patients to benefit from the extensive experience, governance and multidisciplinary support of the wider NHS vascular network. His dual practice also enables a seamless integration of private and NHS care when required.
Living and working locally, Alex is known for being easily contactable, responsive and highly supportive both before and after treatment. His patient?centred approach is reflected in his excellent reviews on Doctify. www.doctify.com/uk/specialist/mr-alexander-watson-1
