Vascular Surgery in Lincoln: Expanded Access with Mr David Sidloff & Mr Murtaza Salem

Access matters in healthcare; especially when you’re dealing with symptoms that affect your day-to-day life, like aching legs, swelling, or reduced walking distance, or when you’ve been told you need a vascular assessment and want clarity quickly.

That’s why Nottingham Vascular Clinic is pleased to share an important update: Consultant Vascular Surgeons Mr David Sidloff and Mr Murtaza Salem have expanded the hospitals where they offer surgery to include Lincoln, UK.

This expansion is designed to make it easier for patients across Lincolnshire and the wider East Midlands to access specialist vascular and endovascular care closer to home, without compromising on expertise, safety, or outcomes.

What this means for patients

Adding Lincoln as an additional surgical location gives patients more choice and convenience, including:

• Reduced travel time for patients based in Lincolnshire

• More flexibility when booking consultations, scans, and treatment

• Continuity of care with the same consultant-led team throughout your journey

• Access to modern vascular and minimally invasive techniques, where appropriate

  
  

For many patients, the practicalities of travel, time off work, and family commitments can delay getting symptoms checked. Expanding into Lincoln helps remove some of those barriers.

Consultant-led care, from first contact to treatment

At Nottingham Vascular Clinic, care is consultant-led. That means your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan are overseen by an experienced vascular specialist; not passed between multiple teams.

Patients can expect:

• A clear explanation of what’s causing symptoms

• A tailored treatment plan, based on imaging and clinical assessment

• A focus on safe, evidence-based options, including minimally invasive approaches where suitable

• A straightforward pathway from consultation to treatment

Conditions we commonly assess and treat

While every patient’s situation is different, our consultants regularly see patients for a wide range of vascular concerns, including:

• Varicose veins (including aching, heaviness, swelling, and skin changes)

• Venous disease and related symptoms

• Circulation problems such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and claudication

• Aneurysms and other arterial conditions requiring specialist input

• Carotid artery disease and other complex vascular diagnoses

  
  

If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are vascular, the first step is often a specialist assessment and, where appropriate, vascular ultrasound or other imaging.

Why expanding to Lincoln matters

Healthcare should fit around patients; not the other way around. By offering surgery in Lincoln, Mr Sidloff and Mr Salem are helping ensure that more patients can access:

• Timely assessment

• High-quality treatment

• Convenient hospital options

• Specialist expertise close to home

This is particularly important for patients who want private care, insured care, or a clear second opinion, and prefer to be treated within their region.

Next steps: how to get started

If you’d like to explore your options, the simplest first step is to arrange an initial conversation and assessment.

Nottingham Vascular Clinic offers a free 5-minute telephone consultation, followed by prompt access to specialist review and imaging where needed.
