I have great faith in this consultant whose treatment has helped me prevent further loss of my sight due to wet macular degeneration. Both his treatment and his manner give me so much reassurance.

Saw Mr Sivaraj at Midland Eye Clinic, at our first meeting I was extremely impressed by his care and attention to detail. He listened to my comments and made me feel totally at ease. On surgery day his pre op staff were thorough and explained the procedure to me, Mr Sivaraj then came and checked with me that everything was good. During the course of the op he explained what he was about to do and he and his team did everything to make me feel at ease. His subsequent follow up reviews were conducted in a friendly but professional way. I would have no problems in recommending Mr Sivaraj to anyone requiring cataract surgery.

Mr Sivaraj was friendly and explained what was happening at every stage of the process. He offered very good advice on general eye care with recommendations.

Mr Ramesh Sivaraj is an outstanding professional I cannot fault him on either his level of experience and knowledge or his wonderful manner. He is very polite, considered, supportive and reassuring. He really made me feel well cared for and I was not expecting him to give me the time and attention he did to really truly listen and assist me in dealing with my anxieties. My cataract surgery was also a massive success. I now have 20/20 vision in that eye. This has massively improved my quality of life and I will be forever grateful.
