Mr James Neffendorf was friendly, kind, and professional. He took time to explain every aspect of my treatment and made me feel comfortable throughout. I have had no complications following my procedure and for the first time feel informed on how to effectively manage the care & treatment of my eyes.

I came to Mr. Neffendorf with a detached retina and he performed a vitrectomy the same day. Mr. Neffenforf was attentive and supportive before, during and after the operation. I was quite anxious but Mr. Neffendorf chatted to me in a calm friendly manner throughout the operation which helped me cope with the situation and the procedure seemed to be over in no time at all. First thing the following morning Mr. Neffendorf phoned me to check on my welfare and explained any queries I had. I had several follow up appointments following the vitrectomy and Mr. Neffendorf was always thorough and extremely supportive; no question was ever too much and Mr. Neffenforf always had a clarity of expression which was completely accessible to the lay person. Overall the service I received was friendly, supportive and thoroughly professional and I would therefore not hesitate to highly recommend Mr. Neffenforf to any one else.

After having a big fear of having treatment on my eyes all my life I got a detached retina. I was operated on by Mr Neffendorf and the care taken and all the explaining I came through brilliantly and can’t thank him enough. Unfortunately I then developed a cataract that has been operated on two weeks ago and again fantastic, I could see so clear the next day and no complications. Sight is so precious and I am so grateful 🥰
