- My appointment was by video so some of the above ratings are not applicable. However, Mr Saad was knowledgeable and well informed. In addition, equally important for me, he seems to genuinely care about your health, listens and wants to help in the best manner possible, not something I get from all consultants. I would throughly recommend him.
- Very professional and reassuring. Would definetely recommend.
- Very friendly and reassuring and explained things so I could understand my condition
- Thank you to Mr Saad and the whole team at Newmedica. Everyone was very helpful!
- Great consultant explains everything in detail
- Mr Saad's op on my macular hole was a complete success due to his excellent expert skills. My optician says he has every confidence in referring clients here because of Mr Saad's high success rate. Mr Saad's warm caring approach is always much appreciated.
- Brilliant service - thorough, knowledgeable and empathetic to the issues eye problems can have on day to day life. Couldn’t recommend Mr Saad more highly.
- Found the service of both Mr Saad and Newmedica excellent in everything they did for me. I would thoroughly recommend both of them.
- Donna Wilson was very friendly and extremely efficient in arranging a very prompt appointment. I was very apprehensive and Mr Saad was extremely understanding and put me at my ease whilst he explained and discussed options available without putting me under any pressure.
