Reviews
From the start Professor Taylor’s team made me at ease as I was very nervous… Nurse Linda took the time to listen to my worries and was very kind and patient. I’m so glad I chose Professor Taylor to do my cataract surgery as from all his reviews , I felt in safe hands . The surgery went very well and not only has he removed the advanced cataract I had, but I can see even better than ever as my short sightedness has also improved with the lenses he put in .
