In my opinion Dr Maxwell Treacy is the absolute best in the business. He is kind, very professional and has a lovely relaxed manner which immediately put me at ease. He answered all my questions and I felt completely reassured when I left the consultation. I was delighted with the results of the procedure which took place in the Bon Secours Hospital, again very professional and a lovely atmosphere. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Excellent.

A professional in every way. He was most helpful in explaining my eye conditions and the options relating to same. I knew I was in excellent hands leaving the clinic in advance of my cataract removal and new lens surgery.
