Testimonials
I recently had eye surgery
I recently had eye surgery in both eyes at Ashtead hospital. The operations were successfully performed by Mr Saeed who thoroughly explained my particular condition and the procedures he would follow to make me as spectacle free as possible. He succeeded in doing so and I can’t thank him enough for the care and attention I received during both the pre and post operative consultations I had with him.
Thank you very much Mr Saeed.
I underwent cataract surgery on
I underwent cataract surgery on my left eye at Ashtead hospital, under the care of Mr Saeed. From my initial consultation through to my post-op follow-up appointment Mr Saeed was courteous and professional.I felt that my care was in excellent hands and indeed, I am delighted with the result and the vast improvement in vision that I now have in that eye. I was a little apprehensive on the day of the surgery but Mr Saeed was very reassuring and the rest of his team were lovely, too. I am scheduled to have the cataract removed from my other eye in mid- January and am actually looking forward to it! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Saeed to family and friends should they ever need cataract surgery.
