Professor Faruque Ghanchi

Written by a patient at Yorkshire Clinic

He explained everything very clearly to me and the final result was excellent. My eye sight has now been fully restored. I'm unable to offer any improvements to what was a fine service by all concerned.

I was slightly shocked to recently discover I had rapidly developing cataract in both eyes, but 4 months later with both eyes very successfully treated I am so grateful for the expert and kind care I experienced from Prof Ganchi as an NHS patient at The Yorkshire Clinic. He explained the condition and the treatment options really clearly, and I felt fully involved in the decision-making. The nursing team were fantastic too, explaining what was happening every step of the way and all with warmth and kindness. Even though I had complete confidence in him, I still felt quite nervous when it came to my first operation - the notion of being wide-awake when someone operates on your eye is a bit strange! I felt the team completely understood this and they did everything they could to reassure me and keep me relaxed and calm. It was a totally painless procedure and the care was outstanding. I was given clear, easy to follow advice on aftercare and was amazed how quickly I recovered and how good my vision was. A few weeks later it was back for round two and this time I recovered even quicker, and the same top class experience. I’ve just had it confirmed today that I don’t need glasses at all - despite having astigmatism, which I knew meant this might not be achieved, that is in fact the outcome - it could not be better. If anyone needed an ophthalmologist I would have no hesitation in recommending Prof Ganchi and the team at the Yorkshire Clinic!

Professor Ghanchi is a credit to his profession. I have seen many medical consultants in my life and, whilst they have all been very good and left me with little or no grounds for complaint, none of them come close to Professor Ghanchi in terms of the overall care provided. When it is borne in mind that, of all medical procedures, surgery on the eye under local anaesthetic is bound to result in an extremely high level of patient anxiety, Professor Ghanchi's gentle, polite, calm, sympathetic, skillful and thoroughly professional approach to the removal of cataracts in both my eyes engendered such trust and faith that I found myself able to relax completely during each operation. This was despite the first taking twice as long as the second because of a problem which, I was later advised, occurs in as few as 1 in 20 cases. The result is that my unaided distance vision is now almost perfect - not bad for a short-sighted person who has worn contact lenses or spectacles for the past 60 years! I should add that Professor Ghanchi also successfully removed a cataract from my mother's eye when she was in her mid-90s, having treated her for glaucoma for many years (during which time it barely worsened)! She thought he was wonderful! I should add that the whole set-up at The Lodge Eye Hospital at the Yorkshire Clinic in Bingley, where I was treated as an NHS patient, is absolutely first-class and the staff were as professional, friendly, re-assuring and caring as Proffesor Ghanchi. Long live the NHS!!

Professor Ghanchi removed cataracts in both my eyes (one particularly large one as fear of the procedure meant I waited until I could see very little). He was polite, gentle, friendly and welcoming. He was a consummate professional at all times. Explaining to me clearly what would happen and what he needed me to do. I saw Professor Ghanchi at The Lodge, Bingley Eye Hospital and had a very positive experience with lovely, efficient and professional staff. I had no need to fear cataract removal. I would have no qualms in recommending Professor Ghanchi.
