My treatment by Mr Lee was excellent I would definitely recommend him to other patients.
Very kind and professional. Answered all my questions clearly. Would be happy to see him again for my next appointment.
I went for a consult on cataract surgery. I was informed in advance not to wear contact lenses for a week before my visit. This was very helpful as Mr Lee was able to do measurements etc without another visit before surgery. He was very pleasant and friendly and put me at ease.
I have been seen by Mr Lee for a number of years and he has always been caring, professional and helpful. He takes the time to explain my condition and provides useful information to help me manage it.
I had a good experience with Mr Lee he was professional, thorough, and took time to explain everything clearly. I felt reassured throughout my appointment. Highly recommend.

Professional and thorough. Going through all checks re my eye. Listened to my concerns and systematically checking everything. Couldn’t ask for more than that.
