Explanation

I was nervous about having a cataract operation and Mr Hussain made me feel very comfortable. He spoke to me the whole time which really helped, so much so that on the second visit I was not nervous at all & was again treated as if I was very special making the whole visit very easy. I do not think he could have made things any better.

From the very outset Mr. Hussain, placed me at ease and instilled absolute confidence in me in the care he was able to offer. He was excellent at explaining everything in simple terms and was very approachable with any questions or concerns that I had. I was a very anxious patient but he was able to calm and re-assure me which was very much appreciated. I was also impressed with how he was contactable both prior and post procedures. First class care and genuinely a very pleasant chap.
