Ahmed Shalan

Ahmed Shalan is a Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon based in Birmingham, with close to 20 years of experience in vascular care. He has a particularly strong focus on the treatment of varicose veins, having performed well over a thousand procedures and built one of the most active varicose vein practices in the Midlands. He trained in medicine at Cairo University before completing his postgraduate surgical training in the UK, earning the MRCS, ChM and FRCS along the way.

His NHS work is based at Russell's Hall Hospital in Dudley and the Royal Wolverhampton Hospital, while his private practice is primarily based at the Harborne Hospital in Birmingham. For patients seeking treatment for varicose veins, Shalan offers the full range of modern minimally invasive options, including endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, microsclerotherapy for thread veins and ambulatory phlebectomy.

He uses advanced duplex ultrasound imaging to map each patient's venous anatomy before treatment, ensuring precise and targeted care. Patients rate him highly for the clarity of his explanations, the reassurance he provides before and during procedures, and the smoothness of their recovery.
