Reputation

I provide a reliable and authoritative second opinion on complicated and difficult cataract and retinal cases and I operate on “high risk” cataract and retinal patients referred to me by my Consultant colleagues in the region.

I have an established reputation in the region from GP’s and Optometrists for providing a detailed and unbiased opinion on patients referred to me and provide a relaxed consultation with clear explanations of the conditions and possible treatments given.

I have trained numerous doctors from around the world in both cataract and retinal surgery and have contributed to the reputation of Exeter as a centre of excellence in ophthalmic practice.
