Mr Khan is very professional and cares about his patients. As a nervous patient I felt completely as ease. I would highly recommend him.
Two cataract operations. I was slightly anxious but totally unfounded. The medical team on both occasions was outstanding with clear instructions on what to do in the next month or so. A brilliant experience made all the better by now having outstanding sight. Thank you
Saj was very caring and reassuring. I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone who needs a cataract operation especially if, like me, they have only one eye.
Excellent in every way. Mr Khan explained everything, answered all my questions performed the surgery and achieved the target results completely. I don’t hesitate to recommended him and North Downs to others. I’m a very happy patient!
Doctor Khan was extremely Profesional, and personable individual who made the entire experience very easy to understand with both procedures being well managed and painless I have already recommended him to friends.
My check up was very quick, no waiting around. Mr Khan was very efficient and I was pleased to learn I now have 20-20 vision again! Very nice man.
Great experience from a very professional consultant and I can’t rate him highly enough
