Mr Kersey saw me before I underwent the cataract operations in both my eyes. He explained very clearly what would happen and I felt very confident in his care. I attended the Spire Clinic Clare Park for both operations. The operations themselves were extremely easy to tolerate and my eyes settled very quickly. After each operation I attended Mr. Kersey's clinic so that he could check my progress and answer any outstanding questions I might have. I thoroughly recommend his professionalism and approachable nature which put me completely at ease. I would have no hesitation in returning to his care for any future optical needs.

Having had double lens replacement in 2023 which Mr Kersey carried out without any issues, pain or problems. With his calm reassuring professional manner I was happy to see him again when I recently had an overgrowth on the lens which he corrected quickly and painlessly. I trust him to such a degree that I was happy to undertake a journey of 60 miles to ensure he carried out any procedure as I trust him and his ability totally. Eyes are so important. Mine were in safe hands. Highly recommend this professional.

At each of my appointments Mr Kersey was welcoming with a smile which puts one at ease instantly. He explains the process in a calm and patient manner and is always open to questions. His pre procedure approach is step by step and not at all daunting, also giving the patient a 3 page document with full details of the procedure and after care at the end of which is a telephone number for any queries. His aftercare, and those of the attending nurse, is exceptional.

I had cataracts in both eyes and was referred to Mr Kersey at the Hampshire Clinic. He removed both cataracts successfully and after the initial apprehension I felt very reassured after my first appointment. Now after 6 weeks after my initial consultation my eyesight has improved greatly. The whole experience was very professional and I would recommend it to anyone who needs treatment.

Mr Kersey recommended a brow lift for my condition. The operation was explained to me thoroughly and went well on the day. I had the stitches out after a week and the recovery has gone very well. I would recommend Mr Kersey to anyone, he was very professional and I’m very happy with the result of my operation.

I approached the prospect of having my cataracts done with some trepidation. However Mr Kersey made the experience very easy. He explained everything very clearly and patiently. The whole process including the procedure itself went without any issues and the results are amazing. I also found that the level of care at Clare Park was outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Kersey wholeheartedly.
