Ophthalmology, Optometry

Exceptional Experience at Cathedral Eye Clinic My experience at Cathedral Eye Clinic from beginning to end has been absolutely exceptional, and I honestly couldn't recommend them highly enough. From my very first consultation, I felt that I was in safe, professional and extremely capable hands. Every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The whole process was explained clearly, and I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. Any questions or concerns I had were answered thoroughly, which gave me complete confidence in going ahead with laser eye surgery. The consultation The initial assessment was extremely comprehensive. I was genuinely impressed by how much time was taken to examine my eyes and explain my options. Rather than simply treating me as another patient, the team made me feel that they were genuinely interested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. The surgeon also took the time to explain exactly what the procedure would involve, what I could expect afterwards and what the potential risks and benefits were. Having everything explained so clearly made the decision to proceed much easier. The surgery When the day of the surgery arrived, I was naturally a little nervous, but the team immediately put me at ease. The professionalism throughout the procedure was outstanding. Everything was explained as it happened, and I always knew what was going on. The procedure itself was far quicker and easier than I had anticipated. What impressed me most was the reassurance from the staff. They understood that having anything done to your eyes can be daunting, and they were incredibly calm, patient and reassuring throughout. The results The difference has been incredible. Being able to wake up and see clearly without reaching for glasses or contact lenses is something I don't think I'll ever take for granted. It's difficult to explain just how liberating it feels until you've experienced it yourself. The improvement in my vision has been fantastic, and the effect it has had on my everyday life has been even better than I expected. Things that I previously took for granted now feel completely different. The aftercare The care didn't stop once the surgery was finished. The follow-up appointments were thorough, and I felt that my recovery was being properly monitored. Every interaction with the team has been professional, friendly and reassuring. It's obvious that patient care is genuinely important to them. Overall From the first consultation, through the surgery, to the aftercare, my experience with Cathedral Eye Clinic has been exceptional. Laser eye surgery is obviously a big decision, and I spent time researching my options beforehand. I can honestly say that choosing Cathedral Eye Clinic was one of the best decisions I've made. The professionalism, expertise, technology, communication and, most importantly, the people made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cathedral Eye Clinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery. If you're sitting on the fence or feeling nervous about taking the plunge, I would encourage you to at least book a consultation and speak to the team. Thank you to everyone at Cathedral Eye Clinic for giving me such an amazing experience and, quite literally, a whole new view of the world! 5 stars without a doubt. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Chantal Burgess

Dentist

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Service – Absolutely Amazing Experience! I cannot thank Dr Chantal and Nurse Jade enough for the incredible care they gave me during my wisdom tooth extraction. I am an extremely nervous patient due to some terrible experiences with dentists in the past, so I was honestly very anxious going into the appointment. From the moment I met Dr Chantal and Nurse Jade, they made me feel completely reassured, safe and supported. They were both incredibly kind, patient and understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt calm and comfortable throughout the whole process. Dr Chantal was so gentle and reassuring, constantly making sure I was okay and explaining what was happening, while Nurse Jade was equally lovely and supportive. Their kindness and patience made such a huge difference to me. I honestly couldn’t believe how quick and straightforward the whole procedure was — the entire process took around 10 minutes from start to finish, with the extraction itself taking only about 30 seconds! I was absolutely amazed. After having such negative experiences in the past, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Chantal and Nurse Jade completely changed my perception of having dental treatment, and I left feeling so grateful that I was in such caring and capable hands. Thank you both so much for looking after me, reassuring me and taking such amazing care of me. You truly went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend you both highly enough! 5⭐ service from start to finish! ❤️

I was asked if I could make my appointment a little earlier. The list was going very well and the team were making good time. I was more than happy to comply. I was greeted and thanked on arrival by the Reception team who were really friendly and requested me to take a seat. Within a short while I was taken by a very nice nurse to discuss my case and she explained how things would proceed. This also involved taking my blood pressure etc. I was finally taken to the anaesthetic area, I Mr Majid who discussed a few things and made some markings for my left eye, this was followed by the application of my local anaesthetic. Finally moved on by members of the team to the theatre where I was introduced to all friendly team members. My operation only lasted about 10 minutes with helpful explanations along the way. Upon completion I was taken to the recovery area for a rest and cup of tea. I received a very though explanation relating to recovery over the coming weeks including medication and care of my eye. All in all the whole experience was very well organised with a very dedicated team and I can’t express my thanks enough.

My most recent treatment was implant surgery, and I was particularly impressed by the care and expertise from both the surgeon and his team on the day. I immediately noticed a different manner from the oral surgery team — exactly what you would expect from a specialist surgeon. Calm, reassuring and always explaining what was happening, while being gentle and considerate when needed, especially as I’m a nervous patient. At the same time, there was a real confidence and assertiveness during the surgery itself, which gave me complete reassurance that everything was being done precisely and correctly. The aftercare instructions were equally thorough. Everything was explained clearly and I was given full written instructions and a care pack to take home, so I knew exactly what I needed to do afterwards. The whole process was much less invasive than I had expected, and I felt incredibly well looked after by the whole team from start to finish. Still in the recovery stages but I know where to go if I need support.

I attended for cataract surgery in my left eye. There were plenty of helpful and friendly staff at every stage of the process Everything seemed very thorough and nothing was left to chance. The surgeon Mr Khan spoke to every patient before surgery. He was very reassuring and explained exactly how things were going to proceed and exactly what he was going to do. The procedure went exactly as explained and there were no complications. Post surgery I was looked after very well and given time to recover with coffee and a biscuit. I was sent home with medication in the form of eye drops and a comphensive information pack of dos and don'ts to aid my recovery. The whole process lasted about 2 hours with the surgery taking about 10 minutes. The whole process ran very smoothly. It's now 10 days after and the improvement in left eye is amazing. The colour, clarity and focus are all excellent. I am looking forward to having the second eye done.

Mr Ahmed Hamouda

General Surgeon

I felt the initial consultation was perhaps a little rushed although everything was explained sufficiently. Contact from the hospital prior to the operation was very good and on the day of the operation everybody I met was very kind and professional. Although I had to wait for over 3 and a half hours between checking in and being taken down for my operation, staff were very attentive and kept me updated. Post operation the staff were again very attentive. The operation went smoothly and I am now recovering well. I did have to call the ward due to a concern about the healing of my wound and this interaction could have been slightly better - it appeared that I spoke with someone more in administration rather than a health professional, so my concerns were related to a nurse and perhaps not fully understood. When I asked if I could speak with the nurse to explain the issue directly, I was told that this wasn’t possible.

I recently underwent prolapse repair surgery, and I am extremely grateful for the care and professionalism I received from my surgeon and the entire medical team. From my initial consultation through to the surgery and aftercare, I felt listened to, supported, and treated with kindness and respect. My surgeon took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and helped me feel reassured throughout the process. Although I am only two days post-surgery, I already feel very positive about the care I have received. I truly appreciate the skill, dedication, and compassion shown to me during what was a very important and personal procedure. I would highly recommend my surgeon Mr Jaweed Freites to anyone looking for an experienced, caring, and professional specialist. Thank you for making me feel safe and well cared for.

I recently underwent hernia surgery performed by Mr Smellie at Cleveland Clinic London, and I cannot praise him and his team highly enough. From my initial consultation through to the procedure itself, Mr Smellie was exceptionally patient, took the time to explain every detail clearly, and put me completely at ease. Having such a skilled and reassuring surgeon made a huge difference.The entire clinical team—including the anesthetist, post-operative care doctors, and the incredible nursing staff—provided world-class support and kindness throughout my stay. The level of care and professionalism was second to none, and I would gladly return to Cleveland Clinic London for any future medical needs.

We had an excellent experience with Dr Ajai Seth. He took the time to properly assess Enrico’s elbow, carried out an ultrasound during the appointment and carefully considered his previous injury and tennis history. What impressed us most was how thorough he was. Rather than jumping to conclusions, he wanted to review Enrico’s previous MRI as well so that he could compare everything and put together the right treatment plan. After some disappointing experiences elsewhere, it was refreshing to see someone who genuinely took the time to investigate the problem properly. We came away feeling that Enrico was in very capable hands. Highly recommended.

Mr Charlie Talbot

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Talbot was able to diagnose my shoulder problem (frozen shoulder) very efficiently without the need for imaging. He explained the condition very clearly and outlined my treatment options carefully setting expectations for each option. Together we agreed on the treatment plan. Part of which he emphasised the critical importance of physiotherapy following my injection. I’m really happy with the result! My pain is gone and my mobility is 95% back meaning I can resume all my prior activities including badminton and Golf. So grateful for the care and expertise from Mr Talbot and highly recommend him to anyone with Shoulder problems.

Mr Sanjiv Agarwal

Urologist

I went with my son to see Mr Agarwal for a bladder issue. We had already seen a consultant beforehand who had been ok but decided that we needed to see someone else for another opinion. My son and I agreed that Mr Agarwal was probably one of the best consultants we had been to. He spent time with us explaining everything and most importantly looked at my son, who has a range of other medical issues, holistically. He answered all of our questions and outlined a clear plan going forward. He has such a lovely manner and is so knowledgeable - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I was a little apprehensive going in for my second cataract surgery, five years after surgery on my left eye, under the care of the NHS, as I had found that experience unpleasant. My experience of cataract surgery under the care of Mr Hamada and his team was exemplary. No pain, not even discomfort. The staff members were all knowledgeable, professional, reassuring and friendly. All my needs were met and I was very comfortable throughout the procedure. Mr Hamada was recommended to me by my ophthalmologist, who spoke highly of him. I am so happy that I followed her advice.

Mr Shiaam Thava

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Thava was very polite and asked precise questions to help him understand my condition. He explained how this helped him and then asked my permission to look internally, he asked for a chaperone to come inWhist undertaking the examination and was very gentle. He gave me clear instructions, on how to lay to help him look at the areas he needed to check and was considerate and polite at all times. My husband came into the appointment with me and if he gave any additional information, Mr Thava took note of this too.

Mr Karim Abdallah

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Very efficient turnaround time from appointment request to consultation. I feel my concerns were all explored and I don’t think I’ve ever felt more heard in a medical setting which has been invaluable to me. Multiple options for next steps discussed alongside pros and cons which has given me clarity surrounding appropriate course of action, lots to consider but I feel I have real clarity and more understanding about what to expect after my consultation with Mr Abdallah. Thank you.

Mr Sam Dutta

General Surgeon

Mr Sam Dutta is highly knowledgeable in his field regarding hernia repairs, really nice gentleman and easy to speak to. Put me at ease regarding the procedure explaining all possible outcomes/expectations. Couldn't thank him enough for all he has done and would recommend him to anybody looking for treatment.
