Miss Obi was very professional conveying knowledge, confidence, understanding, and empathy at all times. From the very first consultation I knew I was in good hands. During the operations Miss Obi explained every step and actions she was taking ensuring I was fully aware of what was happening and, importantly, what to expect. This information certainly set my mind at rest. Excellent guidance provided at all times. I can not rate Miss Obi high enough for all her actions during the process - consultation, operations and follow up appointments - I felt I was in extremely good hands throughout. I would without hesitation 100% recommend Miss Obi to any future potential cataract patients.
Miss Obi, was very professional, welcoming, and patient. She explained everything clearly, answering all questions in a manner that was totally understandable.

Miss Obi explained everything during the procedure and provided help and guidance throughout.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. I’m so pleased to hear that you felt well informed and supported throughout your procedure, as clear communication and guidance are very important to me. It was a privilege to care for you.
The only small negative in my experience was leaking under the surgical cloth that gave me a hair wash.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the leakage of saline under the surgical drape during your cataract operation. This is not uncommon because we use a lot of saline fluid during to keep the eye pressure stable during cataract surgery. Sometimes despite best efforts, the excess fluid can still track through our waterproof drapes. I truly appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Your comfort is very important to me, and I will certainly take this on board to help improve the experience for my patients.
A very professional and personal experience from my first contact with Miss Obi’s office to the successful completion of treatment. Miss Obi has a delightful manner and I would personally recommend her.
