Mr Avi Kulkarni, Avi is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met he makes me feel calm and explains everything in detail so I always leave his office having had the best experience. I cannot praise him enough and feel safe in his hands.

Very straightforward and reassuring

Mr K performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes; he was always punctual, highly professional, very personable and clearly knows his subject matter extraordinarily well. On both occasions, in theatre, he took the time to explain everything he was doing, every step of the way. At every 'follow up', he was interested, engaging and very clearly interested in ensuring the best possible outcomes. In summary one can have absolute confidence in Mr K's professional abilities and his costs compare well with his 'peer alternatives'. It was also of note that his admin support staff were well organised, prompt, efficient and friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.

Mr Kulkarni explained suitable lens options for a cataract operation, recommended the one to provide the best outcome and I can now use a computer and drive without glasses. He and his PA Fran were most helpful making the process smooth and easy with good post-op care including calling to make sure all was well between the op and check up.

Mr Kulkarni has always been super clear and reassuring with an excellent caring manner. Always get the feeling he is treating the “whole person” which is important as eye surgery for many is very worrying. But has always been reassuring, explaining things clearly and advising on what is involved and what other treatments have been considered. Despite being nervous about the procedure he could not have done more to put me at ease and help me make informed decisions.
