I felt nervous about the procedure to begin with to the extent that I was going to have the general aesthetic but meeting Mr McLean put me at ease straight away. So I went for the local aesthetic. When first meeting Mr Mclean, he talked through the procedure fully and what may or may not happen and the after care. He was very thorough. On the day of the surgery, again he made me feel at ease and it all went so smoothly. Its 2 months on now and I've just had another follow up meeting with him where he checked the stitches, eyes and eye lids. All is great! Its the best thing I've done!

Mr. McLean was articulate and clear - he treated me with respect and courtesy and not at all in a manner that some doctors use, which can be patronising and unpleasant

Excellent professional, good communicator. Fully explains everything at all stages including, and especially, throughout the actual procedure. Very reassuring about a procedure this reviewer had many reservations. Results of the surgery have proved excellent. Am very pleased.

Explanation

A few years ago I woke up blind in one eye. After going to St Peter’s and being misdiagnosed so I was then blind in both eyes, we went to see Mr McLean. His voice was so comforting and reassuring. With his help my eyesight returned and he sent me to see a neurologist as I’d had a mini stroke that blinded me in that first eye. Whiz forward to 2022 and I was struggling to see well and in November the optician said it was caused by cataracts. I was referred to have it corrected and I knew I wanted it to be Mr McLean as I would need that reassuring voice to get me through He was fantastic. I was so scared but his voice telling me to breathe and I’m doing well etc really helped. Two weeks later I was back for the other eye and again its his comforting voice that helped so I can now see better than I have for so many years. I don’t need glasses (except sunglasses with the out of season sunshine in January) and just feel wonderful. I had been tripping over things as I couldn’t see things on the floor, couldn’t drive, read books by the evening. Now my life is back to normal and I would recommend anyone who is struggling with any sight problem to see Chris McLean. It’s scary when your world isn’t clear and you know you have to have an operation on your eyes. Your normal reaction to being scared is to close your eyes, but this time you can’t. You need to feel safe and comforted and he will make you feel as though yes you can go through it. Also the nurses like him, they say he’s a real gentleman and not a Prima Donna like some consultants can be. He’s a safe pair of hands and a thoroughly nice and professional man.

I couldn't fault him, he explained everything as we went along. The operation was a great success and I'm delighted with how my eyelids are settling down. Mr McLean has an excellent bedside manner, he talked me through the whole process which really put me at ease. A true professional at every step.

Considerate and highly competent in every way. I was very impressed by the post-op phone call the following day to check how I was. Mr McLean’s medical secretary made the call. Mr McLean’s manner is patient and attentive. The results of my cataract surgery in both eyes are absolutely excellent! I could not be more grateful!
