Ms Abeysiri gives professional and courteous care
I am really grateful to have had Miss Poorna Abeysiri perform my eye cataract surgery. She is a true professional, who is kind and courteous. She gave me clear and concise information on the procedure and risks of having the surgery, whilst putting me at ease and giving me total trust in her, when I was nervous about having the eye operation.
Miss Abeysiri was so gentle and soft spoken whilst performing the surgery, which turned out to be totally pain-free. The happy atmosphere projected within her entire team made me feel very relaxed and at ease. They got on well together.
My surgery was a success and I can now see nice clear definition and bright colour with the eye that was operated on. As in previous visits to Miss Abeysiri, she was warm, welcoming and courteous as ever. I cant wait for her to operate my other eye, as I have full confidence in her and would highly recommend her.
A great lady doctor very pleased with the results
I have been with her since 2009 and she is a rare find- consultant who takes care of her patients. Very respectful and down to earth. She treat her patients with professionalism and she explain things in a very simple and clear language.
She is excellent.
I am very pleased with her approach of treatment.
