I was very nervous especially as i am relatively young to have a cataract operation and as a mum to a child with special needs.. I need to be able to drive and see the world around me! I started to lose my sight in my left eye which was really scary as i jave always been very short sighted and relied on glasses or contact lenses to be able to see but now even that didnt correct them. Firstly i was mis diagnosed at another hospital so i insisted on being seen at Kingston by this specific doctor and i got my wish! As i have a congenital spinal condition, the hardest part for me was getting my neck comfortable enough for me to be able to lie back without going dizzy fot the surgery! But the team wrre great and put several packs behind my head and made sure i felt well enough to have the surgery. Doctor was very efficient and lovely despite fact i was youngest so last for my op and he must have been tired! But it went with no complications. I recovered quickly and beautifully and now i have perfect vision out of that eye! I am no longer able to wear glasses so have to rely on a contact lens in my right eye to even out my vision..This os ok for now but i cant always wear a lens which then becomes problamatic so if i need surgery on that eye too at some point, i would definetely ask for Doctor k again! Thank you so much for saving my vision!
Mr Ahmed Dabbagh is one of the most caring and competent surgeons I have had the pleasure of meeting. He was able to explain exactly what he was doing with an ease that is wonderful. He also has a wonderful sense of humour thanks to him I can now see much better and without any double vision. He removed cataracts from both eyes and put me perfectly at ease although at the time I was petrified I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and anyone being operated on by him would be lucky to have him to do the surgery
Listened, explained, advised. Good " bedside manner "
A very professional approach
Mr. Dabbagh is a skilled experienced surgeon with a nice relaxed manner. He had an unexpected problem during my operation, as the new lens had a tiny bit missing. He assessed the situation very calmly and inserted it safely. He saw me in clinic one week later for an early follow-up and was satisfied that no problems had arisen. He also gave me some helpful advice that I no longer need prescription glasses and can use off-the-shelf budget reading glasses. A real money saver!
I have recently had a Cataract operation carried out by Mr Dabbagh. He is an excellent surgeon with a very nice manner, He explained all aspects of the procedure very clearly and answered all questions and concerns. The operation was carried out without any pain or discomfort. My vision is now fantastic. I believe that Mr Dabbagh gives the best possible care and would thoroughly recommend him.
