Dr Sherafat performed my cataract surgery at Kingston Eye Unit. The surgery went well but in the days after I noticed my pupil wasn't returning to the right shape. I came to casualty 3 days after surgery and was seen by Dr Sherafat who straight away diagnosed the problem and said that I needed surgery again to correct it - immediately. He fitted me in first thing that morning even though I know he had waiting room full of other emergencies (just looking at them all waiting was making me feel stressed on his behalf). I was taken to surgery , gowned up etc and was feeling utterly terrified as this surgery had to be done under anaesthetic injection into the eye , and it was all so unexpected. Dr Sherafat even took the time to come in to see me as I waited and got the nurse to take his blood pressure as well which made me laugh and feel more relaxed despite the nerves. He worked on my eye for a long time and told me to return to see him the following morning. The surgery worked perfectly. I was completely impressed with his professionalism, kindness and surgical skill. I felt like I was in the best hands and am very grateful for his care. I will never know how doctors manage to apply the most intricate and specialised skills under the pressure which they work in the NHS. But I'm extremely grateful that they do!
