Mr Lavnish Joshi 2016-12-16 Person 5 5 0

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.
