Dr Oliver Bowes is extremely professional and highly qualified in his field. I certainly felt hugely relieved to have him as my specialist operating on my both eyes simultaneously for heavily clouded lenses which were really affecting my vision very badly. Almost immediately after the completion of the procedures my vision improved by many folds and my quality of life changed at the same time. I have not suffered any pains or discomfort and only a few days post my operations the floaters are disappearing fast and I am returning to normal life. I trust Dr Bowes will do the same for you and therefore I highly recommend that you consider acquiring his massive knowledge, speciality, qualifications and experiences to provide your for any related treatments that you might require for your eyes. You will be in very safe hands.

Mr Bowes was very helpful and took time to explain the procedure and answer my questions. I felt reassured and never rushed.

Straight away mr bowes made me feel confident and relaxed about asking questions regarding my treatment. He did my operation and was very understanding due to my panic that I have when having needles. Wish all doctors understood my anxiety

I am very happy with my surgery and care done by Mr Oliver Bowes I am a very nervous patient and informed Mr Bowes who made sure I was looked after carefully I could not have had this operation without such care The older anethasist was very kind and considerate I found the younger one very brash and needs to be calmer around and with patients but thank you Mr Bowes and your team Mrs Gibson

Oliver Bowes has performed two cataract surgeries on my eyes both of which have been successful and I am delighted with the outcome. He has always been very approachable and reassuring and I always felt relaxed and confident during the procedures.
