Marvellous doctor - put me at my ease straight away.
At 48 years of age, I was very apprehensive at the thought of having cataract surgery, in fact I felt physically sick! Like many individuals, the thought of having your eyes being operated on fills you with dread, however I needn't have worried. Professor Ghanchi put me at ease completely from my very first appointment, during which it was identified that I actually had cataract in both eyes. He has a very reassuring manner about him and is such a gentleman. Many other reviewers have already commented about how he takes the time to get to know you as a person, and listens to your concerns and alleviates any fears. Professor Ghanchi knew I was extremely nervous, but we talked throughout my procedure, he helped me to relax and before I knew it, it was over ! I was well prepped when I returned less than 3 months later for my second procedure.
Although the end result of my first procedure didn't quite go according to plan, instead of distance vision, I had near vision. Professor Ghanci was extremely apologetic over the outcome, however I couldn't be happier with the end result. I could still see, I hadn't lost my sight and I now find myself in the fortunate position of having the best of both worlds, dual vision, which means I have been able to stop using any form of glasses or contact lens, for distance or reading.
I cannot praise Professor Ganchi and all the team at The Lodge for their professionalism, their camaraderie and for making me feel so welcome.
I highly recommend Professor Ganchi and would not hesitate in referring family or friends that may require treatment in the future.
Professor Ghanchi treats you as a human being with great respect. He takes the time to understand your needs and when you are in theatre his style helps you to relax so that he can quietly get on with his work. He also has a great SOH. He wears his expertise very lightly and is one of the best consultants I've met.
Professor Ghanchi has a very calm, reassuring attitude. He asks a lot of relevant personal questions giving the impression he is interested in you as an individual person, not just as another patient. He took the trouble to fully explain exactly what the procedure entailed, what could be expected from a successful outcome of the surgery but what could possibly, although highly improbably, go wrong. He was perfectly willing to answer any questions I had regarding the operation etc.
My first experience with Professor Ghanchi at the Yorkshire Clinic Lodge last week was a real pleasure. He is a mild mannered and gentle man who immediately puts you at ease. A follow up appointment today to tell me everything went well with the operation on my eye and all questions and concerns where duly answered. Thankyou.
