Mr Bowes performed my father's two cataract operations and from the first appointment, we were reassured by his kind and respectful but confident manner and willingness to answer to any concerns. My father deems him a most excellent Opthalmic Surgeon and adds: "having been in the care of Mr Bowes, it was a most rewarding experience, his manner in essence being courteous, informative, and able to make one completely at ease". Thank you Mr Bowes.

Mr Bowes did both my cataracts and I am extremely pleased with his surgery. He was very reassuring before my operations as I was very nervous. He was very professional and made me feel at ease. The results are very good.
