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!
