I recently had an eye operation and was very impressed with the quality of care I received from Mr. Lavnish Joshi. The level of detail he gave me during consultations was wonderful. He clearly explained the procedure and what the recovery would entail. His post-operation care was excellent and I have recovered much quicker than expected.

I was operated on by Mr Joshi this time last year almost to the day. He then asked me, at my last check-up in May 2016, to complete this form. Unfortunately, I misplaced the piece of paper, I am embarrassed to say. The operation Mr Joshi did on me came as a shock as it was a week before Christmas plus I had just recovered from a previous retina operation and was very upset. However, Mr Joshi superb manner really helped me emotionally. Previously I had been given a "gas bubble" by a different surgeon, which took 7 weeks to recover from, and for it to completely dissipate, which made my life difficult and limited. Mr Joshi wanted to use a different operation on me, second time round - apparently he was the expert on this operation, having studied it in the USA. I still had a gas bubble after the second operation however it immediately started to dissipate and it gathered momentum and all of it disappeared in about 5 days which was a huge relief to me with Christmas just a few days away. I was able to operate normally for Christmas!!!!! I am eternally grateful to Mr Joshi for saving my sight!!! Moreover, he has personality, and smells delightful - great aftershave!! Overall, I am eternally grateful to everyone at Bristol Eye Hospital for being so amazing to me. Janice, my first Nurse when I was rushed in on a Saturday morning completely shell-shocked on 5 September 2015 really looked after me. My chirpy male nurse who did a marvellous job of distracting me at crucial times pre-surgery. Ironically, my visits to Bristol Eye Hospital hold fond memories for me!!! And I am proud to say the Surgeons there are my personal Surgeons! Also the male Receptionist downstairs is so helpful.

Mr Lavinish Joshi, is a very competent surgeon, I had a vitrectomy and lens insertion in my left eye he answered all my questions with consideration and care. I was apprehensive but he reassured me through out the operation and again when I went back for my check up. I found him to be a very good surgeon and a very understanding young man. Thank you I now have good sight in my eye.

It's now six years since I was diagnosed with wet/AMD.Since then I have attended BEH and undergone many procedures including both cataracts.Two weeks ago I woke up totally blind in one eye as the result of an infection.A few hours later(Saturday morning) I was examined by A&E on duty doctor,refered to Mr.Lanvish Joshi who explained in great detail what the the problem was and what treatment was required.In no time I was in theatre.An amazing place with a great team. The following day an examination showed further treatment was necessary and I was offered two alternatives,one much more complex than the other.By now, my confidence in Joshi (as he likes to be called}had grown to the extent that I decided to go for broke. Monday morning we were back in theatre.Much longer this time. It went well,and after a few days of tender loving care by Nurse Ellie and her team I was released home on Thursday.Since then a follow up by Joshi shows all is well. Joshi has great empathy and understanding with his patients as I discovered when talking to his other patients.He obviously loves his work so it was no surprise to learn that he is moving up the ladder to a more senior position.He'll be much missed at BEH.
