Having had a number of recent eye operations after 13 years without issues, any worry or trepidation I had about my situation has been nullified by Mr Benson’s approach, communication, honesty & professionalism since I came under his care. From checkups to surgery, I have felt totally at ease & have had complete trust in Mr Benson. An absolutely perfect example of what a patient would want in a Doctor & I feel privileged to have experienced it.

Having just seen Mr Benson as an eye casualty patient, I can say he was professional, thorough, friendly, and explained my diagnosis to me. I felt very comfortable with Mr Benson and would be more than happy to see him again, if the need arose. Thank you.

Mr Benson was straight to the point, very confident in his diagnosis which gave me confidence and gave straight forward advice about any symptoms that might warrant me going back to A&E. Thank you.
