I recently underwent R cataract surgery by Mr Kwartz. The operation was totally painless and the care I received was exceptional. I would highly recommend Mr Kwartz to anyone considering undergoing cataract surgery. He is very caring and takes time to talk you through the options available. A true gentleman. Many thanks!!
Appointments are welcoming and always start on time. Mr Kwartz is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Always a pleasure to see Mr Kwartz. A no nonsense approach and his explanation of eye surgery is easily understood- even by me
I would like to say a massive thank you to Mr Jeffrey Kwartz for the excellent care and treatment during my right eye cataract surgery. He is such a lovely man who made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. He explained everything clearly and professionally, which really reassured me. The procedure went extremely well and I was not in any pain at all. Mr Kwartz was calm, caring and very professional throughout, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery. I am due to have my left eye surgery in June and I am honestly not worried one bit because I know I am in very good hands. Thank you again for such wonderful care.
I was referred to Mr Kwartz for cataract procedures on both eyes. Whilst it took a few months for the procedures to be scheduled, it was worth the wait. Both procedures went very well with minimal if any post operative discomfort and I'm delighted with the results.
Very relaxed environment with clearly a seasoned professional
Explained everything well including the choice of lens available
Everything was explained very clearly and I never felt under any pressure.The whole process went very smoothly.
Appointment started on time. Options and next steps were clear. Really good.
