The specialist lymphoedema surgeons, Mr Alex Ramsden, Professor Dominic Furniss and Mr Sinclair Gore, from the Oxford Lymphoedema Practice, brought LVA supermicrosurgery to the UK in 2012.

 To go from despair at an an ever-growing leg to delight at a manageable condition has been a journey, but one with a happy ending. OLP has made this happen and I don't miss an opportunity to sing your praises to others unfortunate enough to have lymphoedema.

PATIENT FH

From the initial zoom consultation, through to the ICG scan appointment and the surgery itself, I felt complete trust in your care. I also really appreciated your expert and balanced evalutation of the likely outcomes in my particular case. The surgery itself was inspiring and I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to have experienced this surgical procedure.

PATIENT SL

Three years ago my husband called OLP to ask about surgery for me. I was so low and anxious after cancer treatment that I couldn't engage with anything and we didn't know where to turn for help. It was the first time that anyone had really listened and given me hope and that call changed my life. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding.
