From start to finish the staff were friendly and professional making me feel very comfortable. The theatre staff put me at ease while getting ready for my cataract surgery. Mr Raman was very professional and explained what he was doing and made me feel I was in the right hands. I could not believe how quick the operation was compared to having my other eye done elsewhere. Thank you Mr Raman. I have not had any problems post operatively and clear instructions as to what happens next were given at the time by the recovery team with a cuppa. A much better experience all round thank you so much.
