Very helpful gave running comentry on what stage i was at through out surgery over all very pleased with my my experiance of having my eyes done
Before the operation Dr Jonathan went through the risks etc. of the operation so I was well prepared for the time it took for my eyes to settle down, post-op. During the operation - which to be honest I did find nerve wracking (both times) - Dr Jonathon kept a commentary going of the procedure and progress which personally I found very helpful.
Excellent, plenty of encouragement, friendy, and pleasant
