Mr Edward Lee is professional, clear, and reassuring with patients. He conducts thorough eye tests and explains issues clearly. Procedures like YAG laser for cloudy lenses, and cataract operations, achieve excellent sight. Patient feedback includes better vision, good service, and successful eye treatment outcomes.
Mr.Lee was courteous and focussed fully on the issues which were troubling me, answering my questions, diagnosing the problem and remedying it by providing the correct treatment. I had consulted other eye specialists in recent months and all had failed to diagnose, or even acknowledge, the issues. He communicated clearly and provided information in plain English, which my partner and I greatly appreciated. I found him interested, empathic and skilful. I would certainly recommend him to others.
Clear explanation of lens options with pros and cons which gave me confidence in deciding which option to choose.
He’s super informative and handled my situation with care. I would recommend 1000% he absolutely amazing!
I was treated with respect and given my diagnosis in a way that was easy for me to understand
My most recent visit was today, both eyes having had the 'cataract op'. It comprised eye tests followed by a chat with Mr Lee. I was happy with the outcome of the surgery.
I was very happy with my visit. Mr Lee is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced as well as being thoroughly professional and understanding.
The consultation was a pleasant experience and my concerns were understood and the plan for my ongoing care was explained to me in a reassuring manner.
We have seen Mr Lee frequently over the last 10 years. He is very professional but with a warm/ caring nature. Explains everything very clearly so everything is understood.
Mr Lee was very reassuring about my eye conditions and very thorough. I would highly recommend seeing him.
Mr Lee is a friendly and professional skilled vitreo-retinal and cataract surgeon who actively engages with national conferences (a fellow BEAVRS member) to aid research and patient pathways.
