I had both cataracts attended to by Mr Oliver Bowes in April/May 2022. His approach was highly professional but relaxed with care and attention given to providing answers and explanations to any queries and a fulsome post-operative review. The care could not have been better.

The attention, care and patience Mr Oliver Bowes provided me from my initial consultation through both cataract procedures to my final consultation was exemplary. I cannot praise him highly enough.

I would like to thank Mr Oliver Bowes for his care and attention to me. My recent eye procedure at The Holly and follow up appointment under the NHS went very well. Everything was explained to me and I found Mr Bowes very easy to talk to.
I am now enjoying some very clear vision.
Thankyou once again.
Keith Long.

Mr Bowes undertook my cataract surgery at the end of January, and I cannot fault both his manner and the outcome. I was very nervous at my initial consultation, but from the moment I walked through the door, I was put at ease by his manner, and explanation of the procedure. His appointments never felt rushed and I was encouraged to ask as many questions as I wanted to. The surgery and recovery was pain free and the aftercare given second to none. I am so happy with the treatment provided by Mr Bowes, I have elected to have my second eye done sooner than expected as my vision is now beyond my expectations. I cannot thank him and his team enough.
