Mr Sahu was very professional and also inspired confidence as to his knowledge and competence.
Our experience with Mr Sahu was a very pleasant and positive one. He made us feel welcome at the outset and explained everything with great clarity. He then went on to show us 2 scans one of which which showed significant improvement in Marion's right eye. He then went on to outline the options for the 'way ahead'. Marion and I really warmed to Mr Sahu and were vey pleased with the outcome of this meeting. Thank you Mr Sahu!
Good, went well although I have hearing difficulties. I requested a check in 6 months.
I would like to say thankyou to Mr Debendra Sahu and his associates for their prompt assistance in helping with the problem with my left eye after Mr Hassan- Hicks referral to him. I would highly recommend Mr Debendra Sahu to friends and family.
Mr Sahu was a very friendly and approachable consultant. Explained everything very well. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
I have been consulting with Mr. Sahu for some years now. He is an extremely nice man and explains problems really well. He goes above and beyond to try and make life easier for those with macular degeneration - and he has certainly helped me with his care and advice.
Mr Sahu has cared for my eyes for over six years. He is always thorough and takes time and care when examining my eyes. He is always very encouraging.
I have been extremely pleased with the vision I now have in my right eye . Thus far it has definitely met, if not exceeded my expectations, and am hopeful of a similar result on my left eye. I have had to purchase an additional bottle of one set of drops as one small bottle is not sufficient for the prescribed dose of three times a day for a month. Just an observation, no pun intended!
kind and thorough doctor, excellent opinion
