Sai Kolli was extremely knowledgable in this field. He reassured me regarding the surgery and operated fantastically. I would highly recommend Sai to any of my family and friends regarding cataract surgery.
Put at ease , everything was explained. Staff were efficient and friendly. Couldn’t be better.
Mr Kolli is very kind and reassuring, giving extra time to understand and explain all throughout. Very happy with the care received and surgery was painless.
Prof Kolli was excellent had a friendly approach and put me at ease and very professional in his work.
Your time having the drops administered before surgery is longer than the procedure itself. So, for me I was more relaxed for the second time knowing how smooth is the procedure. The attention and professionalism of staff and consultant were excellent from the initial assessment through to the surgery itself. I could not fault the consultant and the staff.
Staff were patient, friendly and very proficient and empathetic in every aspect of the communication about the procedure.
I recommend Sai as he's an experienced surgeon and has an excellent rapport with his patients.
