★★★★★
From beginning of assessment to end of cataract surgery on both eyes 6 weeks apart, the staff and surgeon could not be more helpful, considerate and make what might have been a frightening experience, very easy and relaxing. After the assessment, I was given an appointment just 2 weeks later and had no hesitation after first surgery, in arranging the second one.
