I was greeted in a very polite and warm manner.The doctor was pleasant and professional and immediately put me at my ease. He explained everything he did and why.
I had total confidence in him.
Mr Sivaraj was extremely efficient and was very approachable and answered all my queries to alleviate any concerns I had. He talked me through the surgery and put me at my ease. He was very happy with the results of the surgery and his delight and enthusiasm for the results were palpable. I will have no worries about going for the second bout of surgery under his care.
I was scared when I went to have cataract opp.I told the Doctor and his staff how I felt
and he explained everything and put me at ease. They were all Excellent and I would recommend them to everyone needing to have cataract surgery
Mr Sivaraj performed laser surgery on both my eyes. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He took great care to explain things and answer my questions clearly before and after the procedures; there was no pain or discomfort afterwards; and my eyesight is now amazing!
Mr Sivaraj is an extremely pleasant man, who explained the procedure to be followed in a simple, straightforward manner. Thoroughly reassuring.
His surgery was carried out successfully, and I am delighted with the result
