My eye surgery has been hugely successful I am so happy with the results mr Yeo is an outstanding surgeon highly skilled who is very friendly and easy going the whole process was made easy and quick and I was well looked after from start to finish all the staff are also amazing and friendly if your looking at getting surgery done I would not hesitate you won’t regret it life changing thanks again to everyone at the clinic
Mr Damien Yeo was very thorough with his assessment and examination. He explained things clearly to me and my next of kin. He showed empathy and had a lovely nature during the assessment and treatment. We are awaiting a follow up with him for further treatment. Would highly recommend him to friends and family.
Damien is great, he was really good with my son. Besides being ready professional, he's very knowledgeable, confident and happy to answer any questions we had.
My son attended for squint surgery on both eyes. Mr Yeo and his team were amazing and as a family we can not thank him enough. They made my 12 year old son feel at ease and explained everything they were going to do in a clear and professinal manner. Even after the surgery a member of Mr Yeo's team came to explain the next steps in my son's post-operative care. Thank you for taking such good care of our son and for all you have done. It is very much appreciated and I know this surgery will have a massive impact on the social aspect of his future as before this surgery his squint had started to impact on the things he enjoyed such as sports. He now can't wait to get back on the football pictch once he has recovered :)
We sought Dr Yeo’s advice for our 12 year old who was having headaches and is known to have a squint. He was very thorough in his approach. My daughter was worried about attending the appointment but he had a very calm and friendly approach which was helpful. He discussed all the findings of his assessment in a way that we could easily understand. Thank you Dr Yeo.
Dr Yeo saw my daughter who is 10 and had been having severe headaches. I’d read that pressure in the brain could cause changes to your eyes and headaches so we sought his expert advice. He used the latest technology available to check that the pressure in her eyes was ok and this really put our minds at ease. Dr Yeo was very thorough and his manner put me and my daughter at ease. Would highly recommend seeing Dr Yeo and cannot thank him enough for the care my daughter received.
It was amazing soo positive for my future thanks for everythink
All the staff were friendly and helpful, putting us as parents and my child at ease. They were thorough in all their checks and made sure to keep us updated every step of the way. They included my child instead of talking about him, they asked him to answer appropriate questions and gave him choices to make.
Great colleague to work with. Excellent clinician
