Dr VJ Wagh is exceptionally talented and excellent in his dealings with patients care. He is very open, honest and very humble in his approach and this makes him very personable in entrusting us in his hands. He made one unique statement “You will be very happy when it’s done”. This reassurance removed all my fears for the very first time to have an operation in my adulthood ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌈 I was overwhelmed with fears 😰 jelly fuelled and scared of interference into my eyes but Dr VJ wanted the best outcome for me and he gave me time to logistically think and I did as he asked me to. Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 with a glowing 👁️ today.

Much Appreciation for giving me my sight back. God Almighty Jehovah OnKar Allah God Bless you and your family ⭐️💎⭐️🌈⭐️💎⭐️💎⭐️🌈

Mr Wagh recently treated me for a watering eye with a punctoplasty and stent. Both during the procedure and in the follow-up consultation he was very considerate, extremely courteous and explained everything thoroughly. The treatment has been very effective and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Firstly this is the best doctor I have ever met. Since I have gotten this eye problems, I haven’t been able to understand for example the cause of the structural changes behind my eyes and had been worried sick. Today, for the first time in a long while the way doctor Vijay explained made me feel at peace, he broke down medical terms to me in simple language and I understood clearly and he also provided me with actual solutions on how I can proceed going forward. I have never had such an experience in the NHS before in fact I have often been anxious coming to the hospital since my eye issues. Thank you so much Dr Vijay. You can tell he genuinely likes his job and actually cares about people. Whoever is in charge can you please promote him, pay him more, make him a team leader thank you 😄 because there needs to be more Dr Vijay’s across the NHS. His excellence, knowledge and genuine kindness is like that of 10 doctors combined in 1. And this review has come from a sincere place , thank you so much Dr.
