Reviews
Peer recommendations

"Stephen, my colleague in the Southampton eye unit has been very helpful to all my diabetic eye patients who have a sight-threatening retinal detachment. He is very quick to respond to my emails and get these patients treated as quickly as possible. He is a very skilled surgeon and I trust him for my patients. I always get feedback from him about the patient's recovery after the surgery which is helpful for the continuity of care. I would highly recommend him for all the VR procedures."
