As expected Miss Shahid performed my recent cataract removal with care and skill, but more than that she was kind and friendly throughout and handles the follow-up consultations with patience and clarity.

I was very pleased with the whole process. The medical and administrative aspects were all handled professionally but also with humanity and the personal attention by all involved was most impressive. All in all, an excellent performance. – SR –
