Inguinal Hernia Repair

Hernia Repair (Keyhole)

Pleased with my experience at Gatwick Park Hospital.

Lens Replacement Surgery

On arrival i was seen promptly for diagnostic tests. Staff were very helpful and informative and checked on me often to make sure i was ok. The private room was well appointed and quiet. My partner was able to accompany me and was well looked after.

Vision Problems

Dry Eyes

I was referred to Mr Daya at Centre for Sight East Grinstead for fluctuating vision and dry eye symptoms following SMILE surgery elsewhere. If you have dry eye issues, I would look elsewhere.

Their dry eye treatment options are limited to IPL and their own brand of omega fish oils - nothing else. I had already tried IPL without success, but Mr Daya convinced me to repeat it with him. No manual expression was carried out after each IPL session, which is widely considered best practice. When the treatment inevitably made no difference, I was told things were improving "on paper" and to be patient.

When I asked about other options such as radio frequency, my questions were dismissed and I was told I had unrealistic expectations. Every interaction felt like a battle - I was clearly not supposed to ask about anything he did not offer. I was also uncomfortable witnessing how he spoke to his own staff, becoming irritable with them over minor software and printing issues. When you are spending this much money and trusting someone with your eyesight, a basic level of professionalism and respect should be the minimum.

Other issues: the calibration stickers on most of the diagnostic equipment showed service dates 5+ years overdue, which does not inspire confidence. When I reported bad stomach issues from their omega fish oils, I was ignored for over two weeks despite chasing several times. And while scans were always prompt, I was repeatedly left waiting excessive amounts of time to see Mr Daya - 1.5 hours at my final appointment.

UPDATE following my formal complaint: the clinic agreed my IPL treatments were not performed correctly and provided a full refund, which I acknowledge. However, the rest of the response was defensive. My reports of the dismissive attitude, the slow response to my side-effect report, the outdated calibration stickers and the excessive waiting times were all dismissed. The long waits were even described as "intentional". I was told Mr Daya considered radio frequency of no value based on a conversation with the device's inventor six years ago - in a field where diagnosis and treatment options advance every year, that is not what keeping up to date looks like.

I have raised my rating to 2 stars because they admitted the IPL failure and refunded me, but the dismissive handling of everything else means I cannot go higher.

Skin Lesion Removal (Warts, Verruca, Moles and Skin Tags)

Very welcoming clinic. Staff were very friendly & put you at ease

Glaucoma

I was perfectly happy seeing the doctor regarding my eye check up. She was very clear and concise and caring. I will be seeing her at a date next year.

Cataracts

Cataract Surgery

Ms Veeramani was clear about my cataract surgery procedure.     During the operation she spoke to me clearly about each step, I found this extremely reassuring.   She has a soft voice and is very calm and friendly..   My eyesight is now very good indeed.   I would highly recommend Ms Veeramani to anyone needing eye surgery.

Mr Litwin is a very calming professional person who I would highly recommend.

Mr Elalfy explained the procedure and timings of the lens replacement surgery accurately and during the procedure kept me informed and reassured throughout. I was able to relax under local sedation. The surgery was brief and painless. Thank you to you and your team for your amazing skills and expertise.
