Dr. Bowes is an excellent doctor, the first appointment I had with him, I was very impressed, he checked my sight thoroughly, explained the procedure of cataract surgery, fully explained the positive and negative of the procedure and he also gave me time to ask any questions or clear my doubts, I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good doctor, he is compassionate, soft spoken and has time for his patients.

Having spoken to my health insurance company, they arranged a consultation with Mr Bowes at the Nuffield Health in Brentwood. In the consultation Mr Bowes explained the procedure for the cataracts operation. having listened to him I was happy to proceed and we arranged two suitable dates, one in December 2022 and the other in January 2023. On the day Mr Bowes again explained what would happen in theatre, and when we went to theatre he reassured me throughout the short operation, having listened to him I was more than confident with the second procedure in January. Having had both eyes done I am now able to see more clearly although I will still need reading glasses. My test was simple, before the operation I was unable to read the script on the television, particularly the moving script at the bottom of the page on the news channels. Now I am able to clearly read this. I was more than happy with Mr Bowes and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Could not be more pleased with the outcome of cataract surgery. Mr Bowes explained everything (including risks) prior to surgery and took great care to explain everything post treatment.

I am very pleased with the service I received from Mr Oliver Bowes.
He was very friendly and professional and explained the procedures and options in a very clear and understanding way..
The procedures he did on both my eyes were successful in improving my eyesight in both eyes.
I will not hesitate in seeing Mr Bowes again if I have any further problems.

Dr Bowes operated on my cataract before Christmas 2022 and I could not be more pleased at how the procedure went and the outcome of the surgery.
He is part of an excellent service who provide great care to all their patients. I have only got sight in 1 eye and was apprehensive about the operation on the one good eye but Dr Bowes was sympathetic and reassuring prior to the surgery and I am very pleased I trusted him.
