Mr Richard Stirling

Written by a private patient at Woodlands Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

The whole process from referral by optician through consultation, cataract operation and follow up has been smooth, timely and straight forward. Communication has been excellent and information clear and helpful. Mr Stirling was recommended to me by an old friend. He has a pleasing balance of listening to and respecting my views as the patient, while being able to discuss and recommend ways forward as the professional involved. Clearly with a wealth of experience he presents as a likeable personality, with empathy, easy to talk to and allows plenty of time to deliberate on a decision. His team on the day of the operation were helpful, clear on what was going to happen / happening and made me feel at ease. Perhaps my best testament to Richard Stirling is that I plan to return to him as my consultant in due course for a second cataract treatment. A god experience all round and an excellent result / improvement in my vision. Well done and thank you. Tamsin Powles

When I was told I needed cataract surgery I started to do my research and was recommend Mr Stirling . My first pre op appointment came and to be fair I was very nervous , Mr Stirling had an initial consultation with me and did a thorough examination before I went to see the nurse Becky for further checks I have to say she was brilliant , she put me at ease and after the checks I had a further consultation with Mr Stirling who took me through all my options clearly . The day of the operation came and I was greeted by 2 nurses that got me ready for my operation , they where excellent again they could see I was nervous and where extremely caring and professional, the operation was completed by Mr Stirling who again along with his team in the operating room explained everything that was going to happen . After the operation the nurses again looked after me and gave me my drops and explained what I needed to do . 3 days later I had a call from Becky making sure everything was ok and answered any questions . This process happen again with my second eye in exactly the same way , I then finally had my post op consultation which was again very thorough. Mr Stirling and his team are a professional skilful team and I would not hesitate in recommending them , Peter

Had corrective vision lens swap for multifocal lens in both eyes. I'm 5 weeks in to first eye and 2.5 weeks for second, results and care from Mr Stirling could not be better. My only regret is I didn't have this done sooner. Booking process and operation very well organized and all went as planned and predicted.
