Very few hospitals in Nigeria offer vascular services or have a trained vascular surgeon because this is a rare and highly specialised specialty. Vascular Surgeons are specially trained to treat diseases of blood vessels. Over the last 10 years we have been providing specialist vascular surgery in Nigeria Based at Cedarcrest hospitals Abuja and Lagos offering Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation, Foam Sclerotheraphy and Microsclerotheraphy for varicose veins , Vascular Trauma, leg ulcers, diabetic and non-diabetic ischemic legs and many others. We pride ourselves as the centre that performed the first full Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in Nigeria.
Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in getting in touch with you to thank you and your colleagues for the care given to my husband over the past years, especially the few months prior to having his complex aneurysm treated. A big thank you to James your secretary, Dr Greg Ranjas and Jacqui Austin. So many of your team have made it possible for him to be where he is today
The few words I am writing are from deep down within my heart – “thanks to you”. There are no words that I can find to tell you how grateful I am for the wonderful care you gave to me through my operation. You, Mr Oluwole, have given me my life back, so thank you on behalf of myself and my family. You truly are a very special, gifted man who we will never forget.
Thank you for all the excellent care and kindness I received at the treatment centre for vascular surgery. You all made me feel very much at ease, and everyone was very caring.
I wanted to express my gratitude for your kindness, professionalism and expertise when you performed bilaterial endovenous ablation for me several weeks ago. The procedure was successful and I’m very pleased!
