Reviews
Dr Treacy was very professional ,he explained my eye problems to me and suggested cataract surgery, informing me of the benefits and the occasional risks .I decided to take his expert advice and am awaiting a date for surgery
I found Max to be very professional and kind. My overall experience was excellent
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.
Finding the Opthalmology Dept was not easy as Bons has an Eye Dept and an Opthalmology Dept. And having asked random staff on the way I was directed to Eye Dept
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.
