From initial consultation to post op follow up everything was reassuringly professional. Miss Prakash's demeanor during the operation was very calming making any subsequent cataract operation less stressful to go through. The results for me were outstandingly good I am totally amazed at the difference it has made.

I was initially disappointed that my surgery was cancelled on the planned day of the surgery. However, overall,I could not be more pleased with my hospital experience and the final surgery result. I am extremely grateful to Mrs Priya Prakash and her team.
