Very caring doctor, listened to my problems, thorough examination, then prompt treatment. Then follow up appointment after surgery, full examination, and recommendations for on-going care and treatment. I could not find any fault. Great service. Well done.

Mr Bowes is very professionaland courteous. He certainly seems very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had prior to treatment and post operatively. Including on when best to seek a new optical prescription. He treated my elederly Mother with respect and compassion, as she has dementia.

Doctor Bowes performed my cataract surgery whilst also removing my need for contact lenses. To say I’m delighted with the results is an understatement. A fantastic doctor who listens, answers your questions and is incredibly reassuring.
