Dr Poczwa and Dr Jarrod Newell – Family first at the Vein and Skin Clinic Striving for excellence and gold standard treatments at the Vein and Skin Clinic, one of New Zealand’s foremost vein treatment and appearance medicine clinics. Dr Henryk Poczwa and his son-in-law, Dr Jarrod Newell, are the men at Wellington’s Vein and Skin Clinic. They are the glue which holds this family-run business together. Wellington’s Vein and Skin Clinic has been in operation for the past 20 years, spearheaded by varicose vein specialist, Dr Poczwa and his wife Bernadette Poczwa, the head cosmetic nurse. It was Dr Poczwa who pioneered the modern approach of ‘Endovenous Laser Ablation’ for the treatment of varicose veins, a degenerate disease which previously required surgical stripping.

Fast forward the two decades, and this pioneering treatment is now the standard in the treatment of varicose veins around the world. Meanwhile, Dr Poczwa has established a loyal customer base at his Wellington clinic – Vein and Skin Clinic – which is the clinic of choice for many Wairarapa-ites.

And so, the legacy continues through the next generation willing to pick up the baton. New Zealand, and the rest of the world, have recently seen themselves in unprecedented times with lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, masks and apps required. It’s good to know that some things remain the same, like the Vein and Skin Clinic, where they understand the merits of family and stability and it’s those values which have seen them weather this coronavirus storm.
