Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery on both eyes on 4th December 2025 and l was discharged today, 12th January 2026. I'm so pleased to say l don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. From start to finish, my experience at Freedom Vision Chelmsford was exceptionally good - and my end result is superb vision. - more than l could ever have hoped for. Colours are radiant and bright, and probably the biggest bonus for me is feeling so much more confident driving at night. After undergoing rigorous tests and scans , the actual procedure is very quick and painless. All the staff, without question were delightfully kind people and I'd like to thank them all individually, if only l knew their names. But in particular, l'd like to thank Nicola who guided me patiently and expertly throughout the whole procedure, and a massive thank you to Mr Hove , my surgeon, for being such a genius. If you are contemplating cataract surgery, l urge you to go for it - don't be scared - you won't regret it!

Nurses and clinicians very friendly and made the experience much more bearable (Dom, Karen, Svetlana and Maria - thank you!) Main issue with my experience was inability to get basic medication required for pain relief post-surgery. Was told my procedure would be finished and we could leave around noon. But my pain medication (codeine and paracetamol, so nothing complicated!) had to be couriered from a local pharmacy. We waited over 4 hours for it to arrive and it never came. In the meantime my numbing had worn off and I was in a lot of pain - my partner had to go and ask the nurses if there was any spare codeine I could have while I waited. We eventually gave up and went home after many hours wasted, and had to pay for a private prescription at a pharmacy near home. Appreciate delay was with pharmacy and nurses did their best to get updates, but this system is not working.

Mr Colin Holton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After having an initial consultation and X-rays Mr Holton recommended a bilateral hip replacement in 2 stages . Both operations were successful with little or no pain/ discomfort. I had good mobility in as little as 4 weeks which was well above my expectations. I believe this was not only due to Mr Holton’s knowledge and expertise but also the. Mako Robotic Arm technology that I was offered on my initial consultation after Mr Holton explained the benefits . I can only say that the surgery has transformed my life and I am active again! Mr Holton is a truly dedicated and competent Surgeon a thoroughly nice man who is easy to talk to and has a very caring attitude. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is contemplating this type of surgery . Thank you also the the lovely nursing staff at the Nuffield in Leeds for their excellent care . JF

Freedom Vision - Bromley

Ophthalmology

Thanks to everyone at Freedom Vision in Bromley for giving me a positive experience throughout my time with them.  I was very nervous to have the procedure, but it went smoothly and led to an excellent outcome.  Having had my cataracts removed from both eyes and RayOne Galaxy Toric multifocal replacement lenses fitted, I now have amazing eyesight for distant, intermediate and near vision.  I am especially grateful to the optometrist and the surgeon for their expertise and care, and to Chirag, the Patient Liaison Manager who always made me feel well supported.

I had an online meeting with Gayle which was really helpful, much more relaxed than expected whilst including an in-depth exploration of my test results, health issues, and their timeline and effects on my life. Gayle is polite, respectful, understanding, and easy to talk to, as well as thorough and interested to understand and create a full picture. She’s very knowledgeable in a range of areas and made various links between results and possible causes. I look forward to continuing my health improvement with her support.

Butterfield Osteopathy

Osteopathy, Paediatrics

Joshua started by reviewing how I was and I showed him the exercises he'd taught me. Then he asked my opinion on what I felt was important to target next and helped with exercises for that. He also made a video on my phone of an exercise, talking me through it, so I could remember it. Unfortunately I don't live locally so can't access his expertise on a regular basis.

I needed to have several inoculations for travel to high risk areas. It is possible, but not cost-free, to get this done on the NHS with lots of planning, delays, and waiting for appointments. Or get them all done in one go, here, seamlessly, for a little more cost. Doctor, staff, practice, whole experience all first rate.

I went for my surgery and can honestly say I was scared because I didn’t know what to expect but I was made to feel very welcome and the surgery went well all the staff were so friendly and explained what they were going to do would recommend as I had the best patient treatment any person could have thank you

Mr Zacharia Silk

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We had an x-ray and the doctor stopped the issue right away. He performed an examination which confirmed his suspicion and proceeded to clearly explain the corrective options available to us. As a paediatric doctor, it was to see him speak directly and respectfully to our child.

Dr. Neha Sihra

Urologist

Dr Neha Sihra is an amazing human being, and so so professional. Words cant even explain what she has done for me. You can see she definitely cares about her patients. She went out of her at times to make sure I got my scans etc etc done in time for procedures to happen.

Mr Alex Nicholls

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Nicholls has been superb. He explained everything to me in advance, was very professional and courteous both at the initial consultation, during the procedure itself and in the follow up consultation. I have been very impressed and am very grateful.

Dr Neil Chapman

Cardiologist, General (Internal) Medicine

Consultation was OK but focused very much on starting medication and inferred nothing else would help. I personally think we could have explored diet and exercise options in more detail

Mr Ross Kenny

General Surgeon

I had a very positive experience. Dr. Kenny was kind, attentive, and took the time to listen and explain everything clearly. I felt respected and well cared for. Highly recommend.

Dr Jennifer Byrom

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

A true specialist in her field, with great, quite rare talent for such surgery and a super clear and caring approach to me as the patient. Thank you so much!
