Explanation

I had YAG treatment recently about 5 years post cataract removal and lens implementation which Mr Hussain had carried out. His advice at that time was excellent and I have been most satisfied. He is thoughtful, helpful, informative and most proficient and professional. The latest treatment was rapid and successful in every way and my good vision has been returned to me.

Explanation

Mr Hussain explained my contract operation very clearly so nothing was a surprise. All my appointments have been very professional handled but also Mr Hussian speaks with a lightness to ease any concerns. On the day of my first operation I very pleased that I saw him very quickly after arrived in the hospital. He checked all the measurements to reassure me as I wear contact lenses I was concerned that they may have effected the measurements. The two operations itself were very efficient. Mr Hussain explained each stage very well both before hand and during the operation. He also gave timings for how much longer the operation would take. Mr Hussain had a very good team around him who obliviously all knew the procedure and were very quick and efficient.
