Why do patients come to see you?

Patients come to see me because I am fortunate to work in a centre of excellence and have access to cutting edge technology when it comes to diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgery. My consultations allow time for patients to express their concerns and I try to make sure all questions are answered by the end of the session.

I work closely with world experts in all areas of eye health, and I am confident that patients who come to see me receive the care they deserve.
