First class consultation explaining the advantages, procedure and the unlikely problems that can occur.
The two procedures, both eyes, were completed without complications.
The two follow up appointments were carried out professionally with full explanation.
I found Mr Bowers very understanding and easy to talk to and answered any questions that i had.
I believe I would find it difficult To find anyone better.

My elderly Mum has been in Mr Bowes’ care for some 18 months now. He transformed her quality of life by performing a corneal transplant almost a year ago and she has received seamless care and attention ever since. Mr Bowes is the most respectful professional, always treating my Mum with the greatest dignity and always going the extra mile. He truly is the most exemplary professional in his field, explaining everything clearly, with honesty and realistic outcomes. We are both so grateful for the difference his amazing skills have made to Mum’s quality of life and are so grateful to be under his care.
