2nd procedure by Mr. Patel. Kind, reassuring and professional, who allayed my "fears". Thanks also to Mel, his assistant for her efficient help.
Dr Amit Patel treated my dad and I can’t put into words how fantastic both Dr Patel and his wonderful team were with my dad! From start to finish, each and every single one of the team and staff at the hospital were so kind, considerate and thoughtful. It really made my dad relax who was nervous for the appointment. The follow up care has also been great and they are always on hand to answer any questions. Thank you so much for looking after my dad so well! Could not recommend them enough!

My dad underwent cataract surgery on Friday 16th October 2026, and his vision has improved significantly following the procedure. A huge thank you to Mr Patel. This is the second procedure Mr Patel has performed on my dad and again it was very successful. The thorough examinations and clear explanations of the procedure’s risks and benefits provided reassurance and helped my dad feel fully informed throughout. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Patel Chrissy P.
