North Downs is an excellent hospital. From the moment of arrival and throughout all my time there I was treated courteously and with great kindness. Mr Saj Khan is a first class consultant who put me totally at ease and gave me great confidence. The procedure was explained fully and I am extremely pleased with the huge improvement in my vision.
