Ms Tahmina Pearsall

Written by a patient at Optegra Eye Hospital North London

What a lovely lady! Tahmina has looked after me really well and very much gone that extra mile to ensure that my recent cataract surgery went really well. I have to admit to having been a bit of a big wuss! I was probably a "difficult" patient who asks too many questions but Tahmina was incredibly patient with me (I'm supposed to be the patient, aren't I?) and met my various questions with good humour and good plain common sense. My own profession involved working with optics and I found that my experience of high definition television had a number of parallels with the eye surgery that I underwent. After all, our eyes are natural cameras aren't they? Because of my severe astigmatism, I was recommended by Tahmina to have special toric lens implants. These are not available on the NHS. Fortunately I have private health insurance so this all got sorted out. Tahmina was very helpful here as well. The thing that probably makes her stand out from the others is the pre-and after care that I received. Tahmina has phoned me quite a few times, usually whilst driving home from her car, to check how everything is going and to be on hand to answer any questions, of which I had quite a few more. On the day of the surgery for the first op, I was more than a little apprehensive and Tahmina was reassuring and went to great lengths to explain what she was doing throughout the procedure. I cannot say that the surgery was a pleasant experience because it was most definitely not, but all went well and Tahmina took the trouble to phone me that evening and on several other evenings as the treatment progressed and to check how I was healing up. For me, the outcome of the actual operations were a great success. Her skill in eye surgery is very evident. No wonder she is one of the top Opthalmological Consultants in the country. The conscientious approach that she took and the way that she treated me was way beyond the call of duty as far as I was concerned. If you are reading this with a view to checking out Tahmina's credentials, I cannot praise her highly enough. I would give her six stars if I could. I am also extremely grateful to her. A lovely lady!

My father, aged 70, was referred to Whipps Cross Hospital under the care of Dr Thamina Pearsall for Cataract surgery for both eyes. The procedure for his right eye was done in May and the left eye was due in November. However, seeing my father's deterioration in his vision and to prevent further damage, Dr Pearsall prioritised his surgery at an earlier date and had the left eye surgery in July. She also administered a device in his eye which helps maintain the pressure in his eyes. Prior to his surgery, he was unable to see without a magnifying glass and was not able to differentiate between figures 5,6 and 8. After the surgery, he is able to do all the above and more with ease and thanks to Dr Pearsall, his quality of life has improved immensely. I cannot emphasise enough how truly amazing Dr Pearsall is. She went above and beyond for my father's treatment. We are extremely grateful to Dr Pearsall and forever indebted for her professionalism and care provided for my father. I truly wish he had been referred to Dr Pearsall earlier

Tahmina is a kind and caring doctor. She’s easy going and the way she looks after her patients is amazing. She is one of the best doctors and this was seen through how she treated my mum. She makes her patients feel comfortable and at ease and puts their needs first.
