Mr Alwitry performed cataract surgery on both my eyes, left eye at Spire Leicester and right eye at Spire Nottingham and the results have been outstanding so far. Having surgery on your eyes is naturally daunting, but Mr Alwitry was brilliant at putting me at ease from the very first consultation.

My mother had a cataract surgery on the 7th of May. She had the best medical experience ever. Everyone was kind and took really good care of her. Doctor Alwitry was very good at everything he's done. It's the second day after the surgery and my mother is feeling very good.

I had cataract surgery in both eyes followed by YAG surgery. Mr Alwitry & Nicole were both so nice & made me feel comfortable throughout the entire course of treatments. Everything was explained in as much detail as I needed & all went smoothly. I had some later irritation & was assured nothing was wrong & to keep up my post operative hot eye bathing & it would settle…. & it has! Thank you for your skill & professionalism
