Mr Ramkissoon dealt with a terrified patient with considerable patience and understanding.

Mr Ramkissoon gave me an extremely detailed breakdown of the options available to me in a professional and non-patronising way, but was happy to repeat to ensure understanding and clarity. He was available to talk to outside of normal business hours (evenings and weekends) which proved invaluable in managing my work and home life balance. The follow up calls were appreciated following surgery and the advice given helpful and practical and allowed me to understand what happens during each stage of recovery from the surgery. Very satisfied overall.

Mr Ramikissoon explained things clearly & professionally. I feel i received very good care with tests being thorough. I dont think Mr Ramikissoon could have done anything better & thank him for his expertise & help. Can i also thank his secretary for her speedy emails & help even when she was on annual leave she contacted me. Brilliant care from both

I have been treated by Yashin for many years now. My recent experience was as professional and caring as ever. Recently I have experienced some some additional issues with my optical health. He has supported me exceptionally well at this time. Thank you.
