I have seen Dr Abeysiri and her team a few times, in both an emergency situation and for longer term care. I have been so very grateful for the wonderful care that I have received. As a Senior Nursing Sister in a previous life, I have been very impressed with the staff and running of the queens eye unit and understand how busy it must be. the medical and nursing quality of care has been excellent and also have found receptionists, medical secretaries and administrators all extremely polite and very helpful. A special mention to Dr Charlotte B who was amazing during my emergency and i am so very grateful to her and Dr Abeysiri . Well done to all the team. You are doing such a fantastic job!
