Mr Khan was very reassuring, spending time to ensure everything was OK
I unexpectedly needed 2 cataract operations and Mr Khan was excellent at explaining what would happen, what to expect etc. it was painless on both occasions and I even better, I no longer need glasses!
First class service from initial consultation understanding my problems, very knowledgeable , Talked me through procedure and exceeded all my expectations. I woukd not hesitate to recommend
From the first moment of meeting Mr Khan and throughout the whole process, consultations, procedures and follow ups I felt totally confident in his expertise. He informed me of my options in a very clear manner and no pressure was put on me to make a particular choice of lense. I have to say that the whole experience was pleasant, even during the procedures! I would totally recommend Mr Khan, a very likeable man, to anyone considering eye surgery of any kind.
I am a really bad nervous patient and will let things get bad and persuade myself it is normal. When it came to me having to get my eyes fixed, I fully expected to do what I normally do - put it off. From the very first second Saj put me at ease and I was not nervous and 100% confident because of his manner That is a credit to his confidence and manner and I am sincerely grateful. I would recommend him - and do, to everyone I meet
Excellent. Very clear analysis of my condition. Involved me in decision. Operations were fine and outcome first class Totally professional in the very best meaning of the word. Well done Raj and your team
Great explanation of the cataract journey from the start. Excellent care through both procedures and the aftercare has been spot on.
Not only was the procedure excellent but the follow up advice was very clear and helpful.
