I recently had my cataract surgery at Holly Hospital and had a very positive experience from start to finish. The hospital is exceptionally clean and well organised, and all the staff were friendly, caring and professional. I felt well looked after throughout my treatment, and everyone took the time to make me feel comfortable and reassured. I was very impressed with the high standard of care and professionalism shown by the whole team. I would happily recommend Holly Hospital to anyone looking for excellent care and a professional service.

I cannot praise the attention and treatment that I received enough. All of the staff at The Holly were extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything was done in a very personable manner with friendliness all around. I was so happy with the treatment I received from Mr Islam he understood that I am very squeamish and treated me with kindness and respect. I asked him not to give me a commentary of what is going on during the procedure and he chatted all the way through keeping me completely at ease. I was so happy with him that I have actually recommended him to 2 people that I know are due to have the same procedure
