About

Dr Balanathan is a Vascular Surgeon. Dr Balanathan has a special interest in minimally invasive endovenous treatment of varicose veins. Significant advances in the latest technology for the treatment of varicose veins have greatly improved patient outcomes by reducing pain, swelling, bruising, operative time and other more serious consequences of varicose vein surgery. Dr Balanathan also treats spider/surface veins using injection sclerotherapy, which is conducted in rooms on an outpatient basis.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Dr Sharmila Balanathan
