Mr Chan displayed a very professional and highly qualified approach which exuded much reassurance of his expertise in this field such that I had full confidence in his recommendations for my treatment. He has adopted a warm and professional business style approach to all parts of the Clinic including the ancillary parts of the work where all other personnel appear totally aligned in a similar vein. My initial consultation visit could not have gone smother along with each of the other stages through to surgery. The surgery itself and follow up were made relatively pain free thereby making the whole experience most remedial and well worth while. Thank you Cathedral Eye Clinic for this amazing service.
