I had an exceptional good experience with my eye consultant Dr Ameet Shah and his team.Firstly, I had a thorough eye-exam. He explained the condition of my both eyes in detail and informed me about glaucoma and dense cataract in my right eye. Received an appointment very quickly after consultation and my cataract operation by Dr Shah was successful. I am happy to say that my vision is perfect now in my right eye. He gave me prescription for eye drops and ointment for both eyes to continue. He even wrote the dosages in a paper so that I can remember. Dr Shah is a caring, knowledgeable and skilled professional and he treated me with respect and kindness.

I first had a consultation with Ameet Shah at Bushy Spire back in November 2023. Ameet did a detailed examination of my eyes and advised that my cataracts could be extracted. I was advised by Ameet of the three types of lenses that are available Standard , Premium and Tri-Focal. Ameet suggested the premium lens as that would be most suitable for myself. I had the first procedure that went very successful back in November 2023, I then had a consultation with the advice from Ameet that he could do the second procedure in four weeks. I had the second procedure in December 2023. My sight is now excellent, It’s a new lease of life for me. Ameet Shah has been an excellent consultant, explaining all the procedures. I’ve had three consultations my final consultation was recent, with the advice that the whole procedures was successful on both eyes. thank you, Ameet Shah

At our first meeting, Mr Shah expained in detail what was involved in the cataract operation, advising me of any risks involved. He gave me the option of either having the operation now or to delay it for a while, should I choose to do so. I chose the former. In view of the current situation of the NHS, I did not have to wait too long to have my cataract operation. Every thing went very smoothly on the day of the operation: pre-op preparation, and during the operation. I never once felt uncomfortable. The following day, I removed the guard and felt that I was back to normal, although I was told to take things easy for the first week or so. I administered all the medication for the next 4 weeks. I saw Mr Shah again after 4 weeks and, following his examination, he was pleased to say that I had made full recovery and was able to discharge me thereafter. At all times, I found Mr Shah extremely courteous, helful, and gave professional advice to enable decisions to be made without any difficulty. I was always at ease when discussing my situation with him.

I met Mr Shah for the first time when I booked an appointment at the St John and Elizabeth Hospital for a consultation about the blurred vision in my right eye . . He immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence to go ahead with the laser treatment which I was anxious about. In fact I was given the opportunity to have the treatment immediately which I did . I am very pleased to say my sight was back to normal afterwards . I am very grateful to Mr Shah for his courteous and prompt treatment.
