Explanation

The most amazing stress free experience. Mr Zubin had the experience to consultant and advise and very proactive in handling my eyes. The start of consulting and diagnosis was spot on and handled very efficiently till the end. The eye leak and the cataracts in both eyes has been successful to date and controlled. I would truly recommend that his expertise at moorfields .The knowledge that he has built is exceptional in the eye field. The confidence in his work and in my diagnosis was also recommendable and I am so grateful for his service as the importance of sight on the onset was stressful but after the 1st consulting I was happy I had made the right choice .

Explanation

I was very nervous before I met Mr Saihan. He seemed very capable and listened to me. As I could still see reasonably well, we agreed to delay my cataract operations until my sight got so bad that I decided that experiencing the fear of the operations was preferable to not being able to see. The waiting room for his clinics was like a conveyor belt and it was obvious that no other patient was worrying about their treatment for one second. His secretary, Caroline, has lots of patience and she replied to my emails promptly. All the staff at Moorfields were always smiling. By the time I got down to theatre the whole thing felt like an outing amongst friends and I was super confident that Mr Saihan would fix my sight, which he did. I am very grateful. At 73 it was a leap of faith to trust Mr Saihan, but if you are worried like I was, I can thoroughly recommend him. What you see is what you get.
