I have been under the care of Mr Goyal for over 8 years, after I was diagnosed with Glaucoma. My Visual fields were diminishing and eyedrops were no longer reducing the pressures. After trying different drops, he performed SLT laser surgery to both eyes. This was followed by Trabeculectomy to both eyes approximately 2 years ago. I was very nervous about the procedures but Mr Goal put me at ease, and the surgery has proved to be successful, with stable, low pressures and no further deterioration in my Visual fields. Mr Goyal is an expert in his field, but importantly he is also a very kind and sensitive man. I am convinced he has saved my eyesight.

I have been a patient of Mr Saurabh Goyal for over ten years and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His knowledge is exceptional. At every appointment he takes the time to explain my condition and the options available, clearly and without jargon, so I always leave knowing exactly where things stand. He never rushes, and he welcomes questions. What sets him apart is his calm, quietly authoritative manner. He has no need for overstatement. His confidence comes from deep expertise and careful judgement, and it is very reassuring when your eyesight is at stake. Over the years he has earned my complete trust. Staying with the same consultant for a decade says a great deal. If you’re looking for an ophthalmologist who combines real expertise with patience and care, I would recommend Mr Goyal without hesitation.
