Mr John Ferris

Very friendly and professional service. Felt I was in safe hands for what was a procedure I was worried about. But Mr Ferris's calm and friendly demeanour and the excellent service I received at his surgery and Tetbury Hospital made both procedures much more bearable.

Right from the first meeting for cataract surgery, I felt confident and reassured regarding the procedures, all the necessary tests and the type of lenses I would have. This has all worked out amazingly well and I am so happy with my resulting vision.

I was very apprehensive about eye surgery however the procedure was recommended by my optician who I have complete faith and trust in so I decided to go ahead and my optician referred me to Mr John Ferris . From the initial telephone appointment with Mr Ferris and then the pre procedure appointment everything was explained clearly and an informative video was available. I therefore felt much more relaxed and confident about going ahead with the procedure. The procedure was straightforward and I was made to feel relaxed and confident about the surgery. Having had the corrective surgery, for the first time in 60 years I am able to see without the need of glasses or contact lenses which is amazing. The whole experience was stress free and I am so glad I went ahead. John Ferris and his lovely efficient secretary Carole Anne certainly made the whole experience a pleasant one.

Following an annual check-up at an optician's it was evident that I had cataracts in both eyes. I was referred to Mr John Ferris, seen promptly and after his thorough examination had cataract surgery perfomred on both eyes in one visit. It was an almost painless experience and although mildly uncomfortable for a few days my sight was significantly improved shortly thereafter.

Had squint surgery from mr ferris and the results are beyond what I expected and he was never more then a phone call away if I had any concerns that’s the same for Carole. My surgery day I was made to feel welcome and understood and not rushed and it was over before I never knew it started thankyou so much to mr ferris and Carole once again

John performed refractive lens surgery on my wife and I. We couldn't be happier. His video explaining the procedure and options is excellent (and we have shared with others) and face to face discussions confirmed our suitability. Arrangements for the procedure we're all very efficient as was the process on the day with a lovely team at Tetbury hospital. Recovery was quicker than I imagined and John had prepared us for initial discomfort with glare and that full clarity will take some months.

I found out about John's services from a lot of research online and after seeing the patient experience's video on the squint clinic website which gave solutions to every problem I was facing. After an initial call with Carole-Anne I was booked in to see John and had a good explanation of why my eye was like it was and how it could be fixed. Things ran seamlessly from there, the operation day was very laid back and the staff at Tetbury were great. John came in to check everything was good beforehand and explained the procedure again too. After the operation, I was monitored by John and then the staff at Tetbury very well. The recovery time was as explained and I spoke to John in this time too which was reassuring. The recent follow up ensured the operation was a success and I can go back to 'normal' life! The visual difference now is amazing and I would definitely recommend it.

Mr John Ferris was very easy to speak to and answered any concerns I had before the operation. Tetbury Hospital where I had the operation was very good. Easy to find, parking ,pleasant and efficient staff and above all very clean . I had cataracts in both eyes removed and replaced within minutes of each other. The procedure wasn't at all painful and only took a few minutes for each eye. I could see the television that evening and by the following morning although my vision was slightly blurred, I was able to see to carry on as normal although obviously took things easy for a day or two. I would thoroughly recommend having both eyes together as you have to administer drops several times a day and can't do any vigorous exercise for a couple of weeks and as there were no disadvantages think it is so much more convenient. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend John Ferris without reservation to all my friends and family Tim U.

I was rather nervous about having a cataract operation and even more so when I was told I would have a double cataract operation! I needn't have been. The whole procedure went so smoothly and Mr Ferris talked me through everything from start to finish, for which I was very grateful. The whole team were very helpful and kind.

I can’t actually think of anything which would have improved my recent surgery and follow-up. I was a bit anxious (eyes are not my thing) but I was made to feel at ease from initial consultation and throughout my time at Tetbury hospital; you have a very good team ethos.
