Reviews
Mr Sivaraj genuinely wanted to achieve the best outcome possible for me. I have a excellent result and significant improvement to my vision. Very pleased with my outcome.
Ramesh clearly explained what the problem was with my eye and what he is going to do, to correct the problem. He did this in a caring manner.
My sincere thanks for the exceptional treatment I received having my Cataract Surgery.
The whole experience was made comfortable as you talked through the whole procedure.
I am delighted with the outcome and as already said thank you.
Mr Sivaraj was very reassuring although I was nervous he gave lots of reassuring throughout the procedure. I couldn’t recommend he more highly . He is a kind and pleasant gentleman .
Mr Sivaraj is extremely professional and approachable. I was an extremely nervous patient and I found Mr Sivaraj friendly and engaging. I feel I am lucky to have had him as a consultant and surgeon. I am reassured that if I have problems in the future that the care I have received will be the same .
