I was facing a very long wait for an appointment on the NHS so I decided to use the services of Mr Neil Modi who had previously carried out cataract surgery on both my eyes. I have always been impressed with his kind and helpful manner and it gave me confidence in him especially as he takes the time to explain the procedures beforehand. All my questions were answered and I never once felt like I was being rushed.

Such a relief to have found Mr Modi to remove an irritating mole from my eyelid. Being nervous about surgery I had put it off for over a year. Words cannot describe how pleased I am with the result. Mr Modi immediately made me feel at ease and made the procedure seem very straightforward. Only 2 weeks on and there's already hardly any scarring. Mr Modi is an amazing surgeon who I would not hesitate to recommend.

I am incredibly grateful for the care I have received from Mr Neil Modi since being diagnosed with normal-tension glaucoma several years ago. As someone who is naturally anxious about anything medical, he has minimised the stress and worry throughout my diagnosis and treatment. The wider team have also been very efficient and professional in all my interactions. Mr Modi is calm, reassuring and kind, and I have always felt treated as an individual. He takes time to explain results and discuss treatment options. I have never felt rushed, and always felt comfortable in asking questions. His expertise and enthusiasm for his work are evident. I am delighted with my surgery outcome and very thankful for the difference it makes. I feel confident that however my condition develops in future, I am in very good hands. Many thanks from VH.
