Mr Sachin Salvi

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

After retiring from work recently I decided to address the problem with my drooping upper eye lids which had gradually become more pronounced as the years passed. I did extensive and detailed research in order to find the best possible specialist eye surgeon operating privately in and around the Sheffield region. My youngest daughter who is a doctor in Sheffield highly recommended Mr Salvi to carry out the procedure. This led led me to contacting Thornbury Hospital and an appointment with Mr Salvi. During my initial consultation with Mr Salvi, I explained my upper eye lid problem and how I wanted to look after having the procedure done. He was very understanding and explained in great detail what the operation entailed and how my face and appearance would look afterwards. His attention to detail was very impressive and I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted Mr Salvi to carry out the operation. A date was set and I attended Thorbury Hospital a couple of hours before the operation. The hospital staff were very friendly and supportive and regularly came into my room to check if I needed anything. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I walked down to theatre in a very calm and relaxed mood and was welcomed by Mr Salvi and his team. He again explained what was going to happen and once the local anesthetic had been administered the operation started. Apart from a slight discomfort initially from the needles, I felt no pain or discomfort whatsoever. The operation was completed in the time frame Mr Salvi had quoted and in approximately 90 minutes the procedure was fully completed. I personally thought the time had passed by very quickly. Mr Salvi told me he was very happy how the operation had gone and soon after I was taken back to my room to recover. I was frequently checked by a nurse to make sure I was comfortable and not in any pain, which I wasn't and within an hour the dressings had been removed, my medication, tablets and antibiotic cream was given to me and I was taken home by my wife. Even though my eyelids were slightly swelled, the difference in my appearance was very positive and exactly what I wanted. In the days and weeks following the operation the swelling went down and I am very pleased with the results. It has made my face look brighter and fresher and has given me much more confidence in my appearance. I had a follow up appointment with My Salvi a couple of weeks after the operation to have any remaining sutures removed and to check how my scars were healing. He said everything had gone extremely well and my scars were almost invisible, even after only two weeks. Every day and week that passes the results of the procedure become even more impressive and is exactly how I wanted my eyelids to look. Gone are the drooping lids which made me look tired and aged. I am so pleased I had the procedure done and I cannot recommend Mr Salvi and his team highly enough. He's a brilliant surgeon! Thank you Mr Salvi.

Simply the best, I think says it all.. Highly recommended. What a lovely, sincere consultant. Listened to every word in my consultation with no rush and explained clearly how he could help me. I had revision upper blepharoplasty and the results have far far exceeded my expectations.. The surgery staff were wonderful, chatty and jolly helping me through my operation. They all worked as an amazing team… sing their praises. Having made a mistake in the past I can’t tell you how pleased I am that I chose Mr Salvi for my surgery, not only for my results but I had a bit of a wobble over some stitches and he even rang me on a Saturday…. Nothing was too much trouble… I feel a very lucky lady today that I can smile with confidence…

I was recently under the care of Mr Salvi ( Consultant Ophthalmologist) for a particularly delicate procedure around my right lower eyelid. I found his initial diagnosis, plan thereafter, surgical procedure and aftercare all first class and efficient. Mr Salvi has a great skill in combining clear medical professionalism with great patient communication and I found this combination very comforting and reassuring. He is also efficient in the way he conducts his work never wasting time or getting bogged down in internal administration- the strategy for my treatment was always robust I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Salvi to others.

Prior to the surgery I was in trepidation because I had only one good eye, but I needn’t had worried. Mr Salvi was very approachable, listened to my concerns and put me at ease. He clearly is a very competent surgeon who cares very much about the welfare of his patients and I am entirely satisfied with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend him.

I would like to commend Mr Sachin Salvi and his team at the Thornbury Hospital for outstanding care given to me over the removal of cataracts in both my eyes and replacement lens. My eyesight has been transformed and I can now see better than I ever have before. Mr Salvi and his team were particularly sensitive to my needs as I suffer from claustrophobia ( and occasional panic attacks) and therefore did not relish the operations. The team did all they could to reassure me and the second operation was much easier for me than the second- A nurse was very helpful in supporting me through the operations. I was even able to discuss the ups and downs of the current Test Match with Mr Salvi during the operation ! Many thanks to all for care which is much appreciated. Chris
