From the first meeting I liked Mr Petrarca. He treated me as an equal, discussing and explaining the treatment and inviting questions rather than just telling me what needed to be done. He was more like a friend than a consultant. He examined my eyes and collected the information he needed to do the op. On the day of the op he came into the theatre waiting room and explained what the procedure would be like. He was most reassuring. The op itself was stress-free. After the op he came and told me how it had gone and gave me some post-op eye drops and advice and we had some general chat. Mr Petrarca’s personality made the whole experience a great deal more agreeable than I expected it to be. Mr Petrarca’s assistant Caroline was very knowledgeable about the whole process, answering my questions and being very cheerful, kind and helpful. Caroline even gave me her phone number and told me to ring her over the weekend if I had any issues.
