Mr Lee made me feel comfortable. He is professional and thorough in his approach to my eye problem
Mr Lee was extremely warm and professional. He explained the surgical procedure, the risk factors, recovery process and likely outcomes. I had surgery within 24 hours of my first consultation and Mr Lee kept me advised and reassured through every step.
I asked for an assessment of the ( increased) risk and urgency of a cataract operation on an eye on which I had had an earlier retina detachment. I appreciate the response given in a competent, very clear and reassuring manner as well as the recommended course of action, all confirmed in a concise and very understandable report.
Very efficient consultation , on time , good explanation of symptoms & causation. Clear ‘next steps’. Charges explained .
Very reassuring, clear, helpful and thorough. I'm very happy with how my visit went. Thank you!
