Mr Alwitry is amazing. He immediately puts you at ease, talks you through every moment of the procedure with kindness, understanding and humour! Can't wait to return for the other eye. Highly recommended!
You need to write down what the post op nurses tell you. I was told not to and the information would be given to me but that information differed from one document to another. It was difficult to get answers to further questions and anxieties. And still is. Be aware you will not get any post op support from the hospital itself and the post op support you do get will take four weeks to be offered.
Mr Alwitry is an articulate, charming and totally competent doctor. It was my pleasure to meet him and have him treat my eyes. I totally recommend this doctor. Jean C. (aged 81)
Cataract extractions carried out in January.Both successful.I was a very apprehensive patient, but felt reassured at all times.
I’m nearly 6 months after having my procedure and just fantastic. I had the corrected sight cataract lenses and it’s great not having to wear glasses anymore. Whole team reassured me and a credit to him.
Highly recommended procedure with a 1st class surgeon. Professional kind and empathetic throughout. The results have honestly been life changing. Thank you to you and your team.
At annual eye check, cataract in left eye had become noticeably worse and the start of a cataract detected in the right eye. This resulted in impaired vision particularly when night driving.
Met Mr Alwitry who put me at ease straight away. I was very nervous about the surgery but he put my mind at ease. Operation went very well and the after care and follow up was excellent. Also the very kind and professional Nicola who rang to make sure everything was ok after the op.
Surgery outcomes for both right and left eyes is extremely good and I am extremely happy with this. Had a problem with corneal abrasion on my right rye which has now been resolved.
After the procedure there is quite a long wait before getting the all clear to go. Which is not a problem it’s for the patients safety. So I took my own sandwiches and snack and flask to be able to eat and drink it was later in the afternoon and I was getting hungry. I didn’t want to leave my room to look for food. That’s my personal thing. And not meant to be a negative comment.
I have referred patients to Mr. AlWitry for some time now and will continue to do so, as my patients have always been delighted with the treatment and outcome of their vision correction.
