Recently had a cataract operation. From the start to the end of the operation the service was excellent. Pre op assessment from Ms Abeysiri was reassuring and thorough.
Operation quick and comfortable. Every time I see Ms Abeysiri she explains everything and listens to my questions and reassures me of my progress. Excellent service,

Everything went well. I explained my history and said what I wanted and why. The risks and the preliminary/ triage results were clearly explained. The the procedure was performed in a timely manner. The follow-up showed that the procedure was successful and worthwhile.

I have been under the care of Ms Abeysiri for a short time at Queens hospital. I quickly realised how professional, proficient, experienced and caring she is and how she takes the trouble to listen to questions and concerns. I saw Ms Abeysiri for a routine follow-up appointment and she scheduled me to attend King George hospital within 3 days and performed a cyclodiode laser surgery. I have since seen her for a follow-up appointment within 3 days and will return again to see her within a month. I feel happy and confident to be in the hands of this very dedicated and hard working consultant.

Doctor Abeysiri is professional, friendly and care very much about her patients. I once had an issue with my heart rate being low, she immediately took an action to see the cause of the low heart rate. She came with an answer within a short time. She is an amazing doctor, who loves her job very much.
