Dr Mc Gowan is an amazing surgeon over the past few years he has endlessly given his time patience and most of all determination in not giving up on difficult operations to give me some sight back in my eyes . Visited today for 6 monthly check up eyes looking great , thanks to this tremendous surgeon ,i am able to do things like going out for a meal without dropping cutlery and feeling embarrassed but mostly being able to see my grandchildren.

After attending a hospital for 9 After years with a serious eye condition and with no improvement. I was finally seen by Mr Gerard McGowan who said straightaway I would need an operation. Within four days of his busy schedule an appointment was made with Mr McGowan to have the operation. After one month during a follow up appointment my sight was regained. Since then I have had a cataract removed by him from the same eye making my vision even better with no complications. I want Mr McGowan, his team including Geraldine his secretary and everyone to know how he saved my sight and changed my life. I am more than grateful I had the opportunity to meet this remarkable surgeon and would thoroughly recommend anyone with eye problems to request him. From Mrs. Carole Arbuckle

I highly recommend Dr McGowan. He is a fantastic surgeon. Always listened to what you had to say, explained everything so clearly. He had a lovely caring manner, and it was no problem asking him any questions that I had. I honestly do not think he could improve on anything regarding the care of the individual. If I have any other problem with the non operated eye, I would not hesitate to go back to him, and I would recommend anyone to go to him, you will be in a safe pair of hands

I had a double vitrectomy and fix of a torn retina during January and February. Before the surgery my vision had been deteriorating. I was losing confidence and my life was impacted greatly - both work and private/social. I was extremely anxious about the surgery. Mr McGowan was confident and positive about the success of the procedure and was professional at all times. My eyesight has been transformed and I can start to get my life back to what it was. Much appreciation. Thank you.

Dr McGowan is totally superb. I suddenly developed a Macular Hole and I saw Dr McGowan at the Ross Hall Clinic Out Patients. Several tests were completed immediately, and he examined me. I was admitted 4 days later, operated on and discharged all within 8 days of first contact with the clinic. He was very helpful, professional, explained the pathology and the treatment procedure, and was extremely kind and thoughtful. I was seen again at Out Patients post operatively within a couple of weeks, and again at 11 weeks. I have fully recovered my sight. I cannot thank him and the team enough for the expert help and support from start to finish. The anaesthetist and the theatre team were also excellent.
