Following my trabeculectomy I have had numerous follow up appointments with Dr Zollet. He has been so kind and given me confidence as I navigate this period. He has answered my questions with patience (regardless of how daft they were) and helped me to understand what I can and can't do in order to heal. On this visit, following all checks, he has told me I can more or less go back to normal (though no swimming!) I have another appointment in 4 weeks to check that everything is still ok.
I had an excellent experience with my eye surgeon. From the first consultation through the procedure and follow-up appointments, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than I expected. I’m very grateful for the outstanding care and expertise I received. I highly recommend this surgeon to anyone looking for exceptional eye care. Thank you for helping improve my vision and my quality of life!
I recently visited the University of Wales hospital, eye clinic in Cardiff, for my routine appointment following cataract surgery. The doctor had to carry out some tests to check my eyes. He communicated the results of each test in a very clear and precise manner. I understood what was going on and I was reassured about the outcome. Excellent communicator and good attention to detail.
Dr Zollet is fantastic. A lovely personality, very caring and understanding. Everything has always been explained clearly. I cannot praise him highly enough.
Dr Zollett has a very calm and patient manner, he took the time to ask me if I had any questions at the start of the appointment and carefully and clearly explained everything that was going on. He was extremely thorough and made me completely at ease. I felt that I was in good hands throughout the experience. Not only is Dr an excellent ophthalmologist he is also extremely patient focused too.
Dr.prieto, gave me a thorough explanation about my eye condition and prescribed me a medication.
It was a clinic appointment and I was very impressed by his gentle approach and respect. Very professional and very good in listening. Gave me the opportunity to decide on the best way forward after explaining the pros and cons
All the staff were helpful, friendly and professional. All the details of my operation were explained to me and all my questions were answered.
Dr. Piero has been incredibly kind, patient and attentive throughout my treatment. As a graduate navigating life in a different region alone by myself and then having to go through a complex glaucoma surgery was a bit nerve-wrecking. But the doctor took time to clearly explain the process, including the risks associated with it and what can be done to control some of those risks during the procedure. That really helped put me at ease. What stood out most was his attention to detail. Even just before surgery, he wanted to do a final inspection to ensure that the planned procedure was the best approach and to consider alternatives if needed. That level of care and attentiveness gave me a lot of confidence. A month on, I’m recovering well, and during my every follow-up visit, he patiently answers to all my questions. He is approachable, accessible, and genuinely cares about his patients.
