Very informative and reassuring allowing me to make an informed decision about my options. I felt more comfortable and assured as he talked me through before and especially during the procedure. The high level of skill and professionalism was always there to see. Thank you.
Paul was very professional. He answered all my questions and put me very quickly at ease. He provided detailed explanations of the procedures and listened to my needs.

All the ladies at your glasgow branch who cared for me were first class and very pleasant, dr flavahan would also be my choice to friends and family , very nice fellow
Relax and enjoy your experience. No pain just some discomfort during the procedure. Dr Paul kept explaining what he was doing
Paul my Surgeon was absolutely outstanding. He explained all of the process at all times and ensured that I was feeling ok, he put me completely at ease and reccomended the best lenses that would suit my needs at my Consultation.
At my first consultation Paul was very friendly and provided for me a clear understanding of what treatment I required and explained what options were available to me, my choice was made easy with his professional support and advice. Stage two, surgery day involved a recap of the upcoming process and the chance to ask any last minute questions. From my point of view surgery seemed simple and afterwards it was rewarding even at that early stage to see faces clearly without glasses thanks to Paul and his team.

Dr Flavahan was absolutely brilliant and as someone who has been wary of getting this procedure done he put me at ease and the procedure was painless. At my follow up appointment it was noticed I had something lodged in my right eye and he took time to see me and remove it. Fantastic service and I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Flavahan
