Vein and Skin Clinic

It’s family first at the Vein and Skin Clinic — husband and wife team Bernadette and Henryk Poczwa are the travelling appearance medicine professionals.

Striving for excellence and gold standard treatments at the Vein and Skin Clinic, one of New Zealand’s foremost vein treatment and appearance medicine clinics.

For more than 20 years, the Vein and Skin Clinic has been in operation, spearheaded by varicose vein specialist Dr Henryk Poczwa and his wife Bernadette Poczwa, the head cosmetic nurse. It was Dr Poczwa who pioneered the modern approach of ‘Endovenous Laser Ablation’ for the treatment of varicose veins, a degenerate disease which previously required surgical stripping. This new, relatively pain-free treatment means patients are walking in and out of the procedure, and are back on their feet in no time. This pioneering treatment is now the standard in the treatment of varicose veins around the world.

An inspiration to his family, Dr Poczwa’s daughter, Dr Tamsyn Newell and her husband, Dr Jarrod Newell, both trained under her father’s guidance in phlebology — the study of varicose veins. And so, the legacy continues through to the next generation willing to pick up the baton.

With all of the changes that New Zealand, and the rest of the world have experienced in the last couple of years, it’s good to know that some things remain the same, like the Vein and Skin Clinic, where they understand the merits of family and stability, and it’s those values which have seen them thrive for over two decades.

The Vein and Skin Clinic is Southern Cross affiliated, and this procedure is usually fully covered.

If you have concerns with your veins, whether big or small, book in for a consultations with Dr Henryk Poczwa.
