Explanation

Mr Gudsoorkar was very thorough during my preop assessment .He knew exactly how I described my sight problems. He explained in detail what he proposed to do to make my eyesight as good as it could be and I felt at ease with him. The theatre staff made me feel safe and comfortable as did Mr.Gudsoorkar whilst having my operation . My vision is now better than it has ever been . Very pleased that I made this decision to see him privately and have the astigmatism correcting lenses not available on the NHS. The whole experience has been fantastic .

Explanation

I was referred to Mr.Gudsoorkar urgently by my optician after I had sudden drop in my vision in both eyes . He saw me the very next day and diagnosed severe uveitis in both eyes and organised investigations including blood tests , CT scan and a dye test . I was started on heavy dose of steroids and eventually due to the severity of the inflammation I needed steroid implants in both eyes and immunosuppressive medications . Through out this very difficult period ,Mr Gudsoorkar was very thorough and reassuring as I was very anxious about taking these medication during the COVID pandemic .I am very grateful to him for saving my vision and we are very lucky to have a Uveitis expert in Somerset !!

I cannot begin to thank you for the very professional and first class treatment you extended to me when i was in so much pain and had very little sight. You worked so hard to resolve the problem and find the cause . Without your thorough , i would not be where i am now , my eyes feel back to normal . Thank you once again for your kindness and consideration in keeping my husband and i well informed with my progress with copies of various letters to my GP .

I can’t thank Mr.Gudsoorkar enough. I went from -12 in both eyes to not needing any glasses. I had multifocal toric lenses . The result is fantastic ! His explanation of the choice of the lenses was very clear and reassuring. He was very professional through both the procedures . The surgeries were painless as I had been reassured .The Nuffield Taunton hospital experience was great .He responded to all my queries promptly. He has changed my life - my vision is amazing .

I have had cataract surgery on both eyes, performed by Mr.Gudsoorkar. He is clearly a very competent surgeon but was also very good at patiently explaining what the procedure was going to be like and my questions were answered and that I was relaxed. Would highly recommend Mr.Gudsoorkar
