I was under the care of Dr. Ghabra for a cataract surgery. Being a doctor myself, I am happy to report that all went well and smoothly. He chose the right lenses for my and I now enjoy a great eye sight again. I experienced him as a competent colleague with a good sense of humour. Dr. W. S., GP
Excellent service - Dr. Ghabra is very professional, sharp, and friendly. I highly recommend him, and he has helped me across a number of eye issues over the years.
I went to Dr Ghabra for a consultation and he delivered my diagnosis in a calm, empathetic manner. He allowed me to ask questions at any point to make clarifications. Overall, I left the clinic feeling much more confident and optimistic in my condition after he explained my my prognosis and treatment plan was laid out to me
I had wanted laser eye surgery for many years, but was too anxious to go ahead with it despite knowing it would be positively life changing. Then, my partner who had a very complex prescription got LASIK with Dr Ghabra, and it went incredibly well. Two years later I finally decide to go ahead with mine - I had the choice between lasik and trans prk, so I went ahead with trans prk and the whole process went very smoothly and quickly. My anxieties were put at ease by Dr Ghabra and Hakam Ghabra - I knew I was in safe hands. Furthermore, during the recovery I had the team on the other side of the phone answering any questions or worries I had the entire time which was even more reassuring. This is a very warm and friendly clinic and Dr Ghabra is clearly excellent at his job, he knows exactly what he’s doing - you’ll feel safe with him!
Genuinely one of the leading doctors in his field. I was struggling with dry eyes for months. Visited a variety of doctors. Nothing seemed to work. Till I met Dr Ghabra. He quickly prescribed what I needed and within a couple of days, my eyes were back to normal!
Comfort and honesty in dealing with Dr. Marwan were the most important factors in my experience.
A truly professional and reassuring experience. The doctor is great. He was thorough, clear in explanations, and attentive without rushing. The clinic was organized, the equipment modern. It is a relief to finally find a doctor that cares and one that one that brings peace of mind. Difficult to find in the UK Highly recommended.
Had lasik eye surgery here and was very pleased with the result. Dr Ghabra was helpful and reassuring from the consultation through to the after care, the whole process was easy and stress free.
Excelent professional with very personal approach to the patient. Perfect outcome with my condition.
Mr. Ghabra is an experienced and highly knowledgeable colleague with interest in refractive and cataract surgery. I would be delighted to recommend him.
