Mr Saihan was absolutely excellent. Although the news for me wasn't great, I felt very assured that I was in the best possible hands due to Mr Saihan's knowledge, expertise and the way he delivered the information to me. He also went out of his way to try and arrange a genetic test for me which will speed up the process of 100% confirming my condition. I'm so glad I chose to go to Moorfields Private for my diagnosis.

Dr. Zubin Saihan has been exceptionally caring, professional, and supportive throughout my treatment. I have been under his care for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema. i have been receiving monthly Eye injections as well as multiple sessions of peripheral eye laser treatment. At every appointment, he takes the time to explain my condition and treatment clearly, answers all my questions, and makes me feel reassured and confident in my care. His expertise and attention to details have made a significant difference during what can be a challenging treatment journey. I always feel listened to, well looked after, and in safe hands. I am very grateful for the outstanding care I have received and would highly recommend Dr. Saihan to anyone requiring specialist retinal treatment.

On each visit my confidence in Mr Saihan grows and my initial contact with Caroline to request an appointment is so re- assuring when one is anxious.

I suffered unfortunately from a blocked blood vessel in my eye which ruptured . This caused large black blobs to obscure my vision in one eye . At a time of uncertainty and huge worry, I was so pleased to be seen by Mr. Saihan at Moorfields private clinic . Everything was explained in detail and with comprehensive tests I understood what had happened, & what I needed to do . I cannot praise enough Mr.Saihan professionalism and care .

Let your consultant know how much or little information you feel comfortable with. I found Zubin’s commentary during the procedure really helpful to allay any questions and in preparation as to expectations.
