Reviews
I have been under Miss Abeysiri care for over 20 years,and have trusted her all the way with the various eye operations and procedures she has preformed for me. I always feel she listens to me when I tell her what I think is going on with my eyes. I get regular check up every 3 to 4 months, and am well looked after by her and have total confidence in her.
I have been a patient for over a decade. First met her when she operated on my eye. She explained everything in detail and i felt very relaxed about the procedure. Since then she has always treated me in a profesional and friendly manor. And invariably asks how my wife is when she is not with me. She was particularly vigilant during covid.
Informative, caring, kind, reassuring.
Took the time to answer any questions.
Would recommend .
I have been treated by this doctor for many years. She is pleasant to deal with & dealt with my case most efficiently. I have made great improvement under her care to the point that she has today discharged me to the community eye clinic. I have nothing but gratitude & respect for her.
Miss Abeysiri has been very attentive, conscientious and extremely helpful both in my diagnosis and subsequent referral to the neurological department. I am extremely pleased with her and she is lovely to deal with and very personable.
