Reviews
Dr Abeysiri explained what she was doing and why she was doing it and answered all my questions clearly, including writing brief instructions for me to take away. I would definitely recommend this doctor.
Mis Abeysiri is a good eye specialist and is passionate about her profession. She listens to the patient's concerns and tries to find possible solutions to problems.
I have seen Ms Abeysiri on a number of occasions over approximately 6 years and although she runs a busy clinic & surgery I always feel that she explains my eye conditions clearly and listens to my questions and provides me with clear answers. I am always impressed by her professionalism particularly regarding an eye operation she performed on me back in 2018 which has been very successful in treating my condition. I have also seen on a number of occasions how her team regularly consult her, she always seems to find time to deal with their questions even though she is very busy with her own patients. Ms Abeysiri is a very professional consultant.
I have been a patient of Ms Abeysiri for many years, she always explains everything she does, has always the time for you, although sometimes the waiting is longer than you would like in the eye department it has improved over the years. I know I will have to keep seeing her for more years ahead but I am reassured in her best interests in my condition.
Dr Abeysiri Is very dedicated. She explains things thoroughly and puts your mind at ease. I had two operations recently unfortunately the first one was aborted half way through due to machine frailer but was performed again very successfully a few weeks later. My eye pressure has now gone down from 36 to 8. I am still under her care for both eyes , and am very happy to continue.
