I am incredibly grateful and happy that I chose Moorfields Hospital for my surgery, and especially that I had Mr Jimmy Uddin as my surgeon. After undergoing multiple unsuccessful surgeries through the NHS, I had been told that I would have to live with a drooping eyelid for the rest of my life. Mr Uddin achieved what I had been led to believe was impossible. He gave me back not only my smile, but also my confidence. I cannot thank him and the team enough. From beginning to end, I had such a positive experience, and choosing Moorfields was absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend Moorfields Hospital to anyone looking for expert care, professionalism, and effective solutions. I am truly thankful for everything Mr Uddin has done

I chose Jimmy Uddin as I had been treated by him previously at St. Georges Hospital in Tooting and he was very careful and considerate toward me, so he was the perfect choice. I am very happy with the results of my recent surgery and he has done and excellent job. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
