I couldn’t recommend Professor Jain highly enough. He did an amazing job with my squint surgery and I’m so pleased with the result. His minimally invasive technique made such a difference - my recovery and healing were considerably easier than with my previous squint surgeries. I felt completely confident in his care throughout and am incredibly grateful for the outcome. Thank you, Professor Jain!

On arrival at the hospital I was seen by Gurpreet who carried out tests following my procedure. As always she was professional, friendly and efficient. Professor Jain and I discussed the merits of the procedure. He explained that most of the squint had been corrected and we agreed that no further work was necessary at present. However, should I have any problems in the future I would arrange another consultation. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the work that Professor Jain and Gurpreet do for their patients. Thank you
