Mr Michael Rocker

Mr Michael Rocker is a consultant surgeon and vascular consultant, who specialises in endovenous laser treatment (EVLA), foam sclerotherapy, and leg ulcers, alongside non-surgical treatment of varicose veins, pelvic congestion syndrome, phlebectomy, spider veins (thread veins) and varicose veins.

He practises privately at The Whiteley Clinic - Bristol, where he has been central to the clinic's development since its opening in 2014. He works in the NHS in the South East Wales Vascular Network based around Cardiff. He was appointed consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in 2007.

Mr Rocker completed his undergraduate training at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital Medical School in London, gaining his general and vascular training in Wales before completing an endovascular fellowship back at Guy's and St. Thomas'. During his training he worked alongside Professor Whiteley at Guildford when the first endovenous varicose vein treatment in the UK was performed. He has since introduced both endovascular aneurysm repair and endovenous vein treatments to his health board.

He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and a Fellow of The College of Phlebology, and follows the research-based Whiteley Protocol®, which he believes offers the finest care for varicose vein patients. He has recently been awarded a certificate for "Excellent Patient Experience" from Doctify, reflecting consistently positive patient feedback.
