Overall a good experience, I loved the music in the background whilst waiting and much enjoyed the cup of tea. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Perhaps one could add green tea and decaf coffee as some healthier options and make sure the water is hot, but enjoyable nonetheless. My doctor is fantastic and overall a very good experience, many thanks.

I read that I should expect to wait at times from 2 to 4 hours and in fact I waited from 11.30 to 5.30. I thought at one time they would say go home and come back tomorrow but nobody was saying anything. I couldn't have anything to eat and could only sip water.

Thank you for your feedback for the Western Eye Hospital. We’re very sorry to hear about the length of your wait and the lack of communication during that time. Waiting without clear updates or guidance is understandably frustrating and uncomfortable, especially when you were unable to eat. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we will share your experience with the team to improve communication and ensure patients are kept informed and supported during longer waits. Thank you again for your comments. Best wishes, the Private Care team at Imperial College Healthcare.

It was my second time visiting the private care at Western Eye to attend my appointment with Dr.Tariq regarding my chalazion removal. Dr.Tariq gave me very clear and helpful advice on the treatment and recovery plan. This time the procedure was a bit harder than last time as I perceived, but it was still successful and Dr. Tariq helped to remove the chalazion as much as possible. I’m still recovering these days but really appreciate the whole process.

The place is absolutely knackered. The whole place is falling apart. The toilets were not clean tissue thrown all over the place. Dirt in the floor. Mirror not cleaned. It’s as though the people running the place have given up and can’t be bothered anymore. I’m paying for private healthcare, I expect at the very least to have a tea or coffee offered to me. I asked if there was any and was told “no just water” as if they were doing me a favour by me even getting water. Terrible, absolutely terrible would not recommend anyone to go here.
