Smooth from first video call to surgery. I had my surgery 1 month ago so it is too early to comment on the results as my vision is fluctuating still (one eye ok, the other having halos and glare sometimes intense). Staff is friendly and responds to your questions. Some small improvements could be -On the day of surgery I was asked how much grams of sedative I wanted and this is not an information a patient would/should know. I wished the nurse asked the question differently and advised the grams herself bssed on my answer. - staff informs you that of some common eye side effects (e.g. halos, dry eyes) but not on what this could imply for the rest of your health. For example, because one eye is experiencing more the side effects and the other not, there's an imbalanced vision and I have been suffering headaches since my surgery. I had not considered this (and as a patient I may not know to ask for this) and wished someone informed me of this possibility beforehand.

HCA ancillary staff were excellent and friendly, putting me at ease. The one exception is that despite being fully covered by private medical insurance (incl pre-authorisation codes and competing multiple online forms and confirming details) the HCA administrative/ reception staff on arrival were overly focused on (and their primary priority is to) obtain credit card details and associated authorisation for extra procedures and tests which go beyond the scope of the referral and pre-authorisation in case suggested. The requested authorisation is open-ended and requested at a point when patients are vulnerable. The HCA admin staff were unable to explain why authorisation was required in my circumstances with full insurance coverage - all they could manage was a weak “it’s just our process”.

It was a very good experience that I had at the hospital.

Very professional and caring environment. Pleasant waiting room. Only comment is that on every visit, the water dispenser in the waiting room has been empty so there was nothing to drink!

Excellent service!

Experience was fine

Friendly receptionists and informed medical care

The Clinic is clean and modern. Every appointment I had was on time and there was never any rush within the appointments.

Good location in London.

Cromwell Hospital is generally always a good experience.
