I had cataract surgery. Everything was explained well & I went into surgery with total confidence. My surgery was successful, I no longer need glasses and I had no problems at all post surgery. I would definitely recommend Ms Faraj.

The whole process from the pre-operative to the post-operative visits were conducted with efficiency and care. Ms Faraj clearly demonstrated a person-centred approach throughout the examinations and the surgical procedure. All procedures were conducted competently and each explanation was clear, informative and non-patronising. Thank you Lana for taking such good care of me.

My experience at Newmedica was excellent overall. I was very pleased with the care and attention. My only slight criticism was the waiting time on my last visit. I only visited two rooms on that occasion., but seemed to be waiting rather a long time.
