I received fantastic care from Mr Islam throughout my cataract journey with him. His communication was outstanding. As far as I can judge, he is both highly skilled and very caring. (These qualities do not always co-exist in other surgeons I have encountered.) I have been singing Mr Islam's praises to my friends. I highly recommend him. And I know he is a specialist in other conditions as well.
