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.

Ms Abeysiri has an excellent ‘bedside’ manner. She explains clearly and succinctly what she is going to do and the reasons for it whilst pointing out any associated risks. This engenders confidence in her skills as a consultant.
She takes time to listen to the patient’s concerns and addresses them honestly.
She manages to combine a matter of fact approach with empathy for her patient. A winning formula in my opinion.

Dr Abeysiri has been wonderful to my father, providing him with amazing care. Being supportive, thoughtful and listening to him. My dad has severe sight loss and often the doctors end up asking us, his family questions, but Dr Abeysiri made sure that he knew when she was talking to him, and took enough time to listen to what he needed to tell her. She is a lovely doctor

I referred myself to Miss Abeysiri having failed, over a long period, to get an appointment at an NHS Ophthalmology Clinic following my opticians noting possible glaucoma. I have seen her three times (July and September 2022 and March 2023).
On each occasion she has been clear, courteous and reassuring, always explaining what she was doing and what results her examinations had revealed. I immediately had the utmost faith in what she was doing and telling me, and trusted her implicitly.
After the three appointments, I am both satisfied - and relieved - that I do not have glaucoma, although I am gradually developing cataracts, by no means unusual in someone of my age.
As a side issue, I get the distinct feeling that my opticians are now treating my routine examinations with greater care and attention than perhaps they were doing before Miss Abeysiri's involvement!
