I had surgery in 2014, and found Mr Kolli approachable, he explained things so I could understand, he has a caring approach. My surgery was successful and enhanced my quality of life. I'm so happy I had it done.

Explanation

Following a routine appointment at the opticians, I was advised that I had developed cataracts. A consultation was arranged with Mr Kolli who, after carrying out a full examination, confirmed the diagnosis. Mr Kolli fully explained the procedures he recommended and advised that in addition to improved vision, he would also aim to achieve as near perfect distance vision as possible. He took the time to answer all my questions and demonstrated a lot of patience in addressing my concerns. Each operation was carried out by Mr Kolli and no pain or discomfort was felt. The improvement in vision was much greater than I anticipated including perfect distant vision. At all times I found Mr Kolli to be extremely professional, skilful, knowledgeable and caring and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Explanation

At the age of 43 my prescription was -23, I was told I had cataracts in both eyes. After researching consultants, I made an appointment to visit Mr Kolli as a private patient. From that first meeting, I knew I had chosen the best person to perform my lens replacement surgery. Mr Kolli changed my life, his impeccable bedside manner, kindness, vast knowledge and experience immediately made me feel at ease, everything was clearly explained from start to finish. Recently, I had another potential problem with my eyes, again, I contacted Mr Kolli for an appointment, and was greeted like an old friend! There is nobody else I would trust now and will not hesitate to see him again if needed. I cannot praise and recommend this man enough, thank you Mr Kolli for changing my life!

Explanation

I was extremely nervous about my first appointment with Mr Kolli. I think having eyes operated on is most people’s biggest fear. When my wife and I entered his consulting room Mr Kolli made us both feel at ease with his lovely manner towards us. He gave my both eyes a thorough examination and at the same time explaining what he was doing. He then explained the procedure he would be taking in a way I could understand. Although I was still nervous I trusted Mr Kolli completely. At this time my eyesight was very poor and I had to use an e reader so I could enlarge the text to enable me to read my books. A big concern of mine was fear of needles and I mentioned this to Mr Kolli and he put my mind at rest saying that he would put me to sleep using gas then insert needles when I was asleep. My two transplant operations were a great success. I did not at any time have any pain, just a little discomfort. Also in both operations I had complete trust in Mr Kolli and felt confident that both transplants would be a great success. My aftercare was absolutely brilliant. The thorough examinations Mr Kolli gave me over the years I was under his care was second to none. When he took my stitches out it was quick and painless and a lovely feeling that I was coming to end of my treatment. Any worries or questions I had were all answered in a way I understood. My eyesight now is brilliant. I can read my books and also read small print as well. I can drive , and enjoy my wife’s and my hobby of touring Britain and enjoying our beautiful countryside and towns and cities. I feel so lucky that Mr Kolli was there when I needed my cornea transplants and can never thank him enough and will be always grateful to him and be in his debt. When he was happy with my eyes he discharged me. When my wife and myself were walking out of the hospital I felt very sad because I was losing a close friend. I will certainly keep in touch with Mr Kolli because he has been a big part of my life and made my future so much better.

Explanation

Mr Kolli performed two cataract operations on my eyes and both have worked extremely well. I had the added complication of kerataconus and extremely short sight. I now only need low prescription glasses and can see really well. After 60 years- a miracle! At all times Mr Kolli was kind, professional and always allayed my fears. His communication skills are really outstanding- l could not have wished for better. After care was also excellent. I have nothing but praise for this amazing surgeon

Explanation

This was the first time I had met Mr. Kolli, as my previous visit to his Ophthalmology Clinic in July 2019 was with on of his colleagues. due to Covid my follow up appointment had to be postponed form June 2020 to December 2020, and then to Jan 2021, so I was a little apprehensive that my condition Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy may have worsened in that time. But Mr Kolli totally put me at ease and explained everything in way that I understood, he was extremely reassuring. If my condition in the future did deteriorate to the point that a corneal transplant would be required then I would be 100% confident in Mr. Kolli's expertise. Thank you for the utterly professional and humane experience.

Mr Kolli performed two cataract operations on my eyes and both worked really well. Before the operations, he explained everything in fine detail, laid out the different options of lens replacement and spent a lot of time performing precise measurements. He is friendly, professional and thoughtful and he handled my anxiety very well with good humour. He was right that I did not need to worry. His surgery technique is immaculate. He works swiftly, he communicates well with the team and I felt in extremely good hands. In 10 min everything was over. I could see pretty much immediately and my eyes healed quickly. I can now see without any difficulties. A very good experience.

We arrived as an emergency referral and my mother was in tremendous pain. The experience with Mr Kolli from beginning to end was a consultant who never rushed showed empathy with clear and concise explanation of my mother’s condition. We have now had a successful amniotic transplant and my mother’s quality of life has dramatically improved. We cannot speak more highly of Mr Kolli and the time and care he has shown my mother.

Explanation

I was seen as a new “walk-in” patient to Mr. Kolli’s clinic for what I thought would just be quick check on his slitlamp for a very sore, watery eye - an issue I’ve had occur to me on & off for close to 20 years. I wasn’t expecting by the end of my consultation with him to have received such a thorough examination, a formal diagnosis, a long term management plan & reassurance about my condition. I felt his explanations to me were made more clear when he took the time to take detailed images of my eye & show me.
