DVT diagnosis

A DVT is diagnosed using Ultrasound with Doppler. It a first line and a very sensitive test.

The doctor will use the ultrasound probe with a water-based jelly on your skin to examine the major veins of the entire leg from the groin to the calf.

Due to COVID working practices, you can bring one person to accompany you in the scanning room.

There will also be a qualified chaperone present in the scan room along with the doctor.

Please dress appropriately to allow for easy access to the body being examined with ultrasound.

I would thoroughly recommend Acorn clinic. Personally I have been very well looked after by Pretesh - I got in touch re pain in my foot... & after having insoles in my shoes & then a scan... followed by a cortisone injection, my pain has now gone! All within weeks! Excellent

The Acorn team are fantastic. Had severe pain in my foot and ankle area. Was seen by Pretesh who referred me for an ultrasound and then injection using ultrasound of my tendon with Dr Junaid. Was really scared to be honest at first as I am dead scared of needles but Dr Junaid was very good and skilled. Pain is now much better and I am on the rehab program with the podiatry team.

Received a professional service for my shoulder scan. Was seen by Dr Junaid the consultant who was excellent and I received the ultrasound images with the report. would recommend.

Had been waiting ages on the NHS to get a scan of my shoulder... so when I saw this service available on the high street I was surprised. Scan was organised for the same week, totally worth it. Actually got a diagnosis for once....Dr Junaid was very thorough and explained everything.
