I went to the wrong hospital for my appointment but Mr Sahu very kindly said he would still see me, even though I had to drive to the Nuffield, making me considerably later than my original appointment time. He is lovely man, taking the time to explain anything I didn't understand.

Mr Sahu has a friendly, approachable manner and is good at explaining what the scans and vision tests are showing him. He outlined various treatments and what he would expect them to achieve, together with possible risks and costs. He suggested an initial treatment with eye drops, and explained how and when to put them in, and encouraged me to remain in the NHS system so that I could benefit from the fluoresceine angiogram that isn't available at the Nuffield Hospital.

Mr. Sahu was as always, very reassuring, with his calm, professional manner, and explained the details of the scan clearly, and offered options I will consider for future. Would have no hesitation in recommending him, particularly to anyone anxious about their decreasing vision.
