I was distraught at the prospect of losing sight in my left eye and also extremely nervous. I found Mr Scala very approachable and very reassuring. I had a previous unspecified problem with my eyes and despite my previous visits to the Royal Eye emergency department, nobody offered any diagnosis, so it was again very reassuring that Mt Scala could diagnose the problem during the first eye examination. Throughout the process (visits and the actual operation) I felt confident that I was getting the best treatment and care. I also very much appreciated the fact that Mr Scala was available via text and email when I had a question regarding my recovery. I received a reply within minutes and was also offered an additional appointment. Finally, the surgery was successful and i am not sure whether I would have got the same outcome with a different surgeon and sadly , definitely not on the NHS as the waiting time was not on my side.

Consummate professional and always very accessible.

From the start of my consultation i cannot explain how comfortable i felt with Mr Scala. He is so professional but in a very relaxed way. He is informative and is very easy to talk too, nothing was too much trouble, he took his time and explained everything so i understood, i was more than happy to make a decision about how to move forward with his excellent advice.

Wonderful explained the procedure to me,that made me feel very relaxed. The outcome of the surgery was I could see things I could not see before.I am over the moon,and ready to get on with my life.Thanks to Mr Scala.

Definitely 5 Star treatment. full explanation and description of operation to be done Excellent result would recommend to anybody who needed eye surgery. thanks

I elected for private treatment to have certainty over dates. My optician referred me to Mr Scala and I have not been disappointed with the expert advice and treatment I have received from him. We have been able to fit appointments in with our mutual commitments and I have had both cataracts treated in 6 months. I have had monovision lenses inserted and now do not have to wear glasses, having worn these since I was a child. Mr Scala is very personable, has explained the procedures clearly, answered my questions and made the interactions as enjoyable as they can be. I would recommend him.

Dr Scala is a fantastic eye surgeon. I live in London, but my retina detached whilst in London, and so I attended MREH and was seen, and operated on, by Dr Scala. I was so impressed with his care that, rather than move to a London consultant (which would have been more convenient), I decided to stay with Dr Scala for all of my post-op care, and thus travelled up to Manchester regularly, for several months, for all of my post-op appointments. First and foremost, Dr Scala performed an excellent operation (scleral buckle). I've had occasion to visit several London eye surgeons since the operation (as on a number of occasions I was concerned that my retina was re-detaching), at Moorfields and elsewhere, and they have all commented on how well the surgery was performed. Secondly, Dr Scala has fantastic bedside manner. He is calm, reassuring, and really takes the time to explain things to you - and gives you time, space and the necessary information to make reasoned decisions. Following the operation, Dr Scala was always contactable when I needed his advice - at night, on weekends, and even when he was on holiday. I was so appreciative of this, during some nerve-wracking periods when I thought my retina was re-detaching. In conclusion, Dr Scala is an absolutely first-rate eye surgeon, and I would always go straight to him with any eye problems I might have in the future.

Felt complete confidence in Mr Scala at all times

My first experience when i met Mr Scala was that it was a very positive and Reassuring one, he knew exactly what needed to be done and that gave me Confidence that my sight would be restored

Mr Scala explained everything clearly and was very reassuring. Even though it s only 5 weeks after the operation the outcome has been excellent with my eyesight massively improved already.
