Once the tissue became available everything went very smoothly.
Recently, I had cataract surgery in both eyes. I chose Mr Patel upon recommendation by my specialist optometrist . I was very nervous and left it very late to have the surgery. I definitely struck gold by seeing Mr Pater. His level of communication and bedside manners are second to none. I was so pleased with the outcome that I wished I had it done earlier. So if you need cataract surgery then do not hesitate and contact Mr Patel. You will definitely be in safe hands. I have to mention Mel, his assistant. She will be your first port of call. She will arrange all appointments and easily accessible on the phone. I can’t sing their praises enough. Go and check them out for yourselfs . You won’t be disappointed.

I had lens replacement surgery, Mr Patel explained everything clearly, had me try different contact lens combinations before I went ahead with surgery to make sure that I was comfortable with the choice of lens that I went for, he definitely wanted to see that I was 100% happy before I went ahead, his secretary (Mel)was an absolute star! Nothing was too much trouble for her to sort, highly recommend this super duo !
