  • I was terribly nervous picking a consultant for my sons eye surgery. Ayman Khaier was brilliant with my son (alex 13). Surgically brilliant! Excellent reassuring bed side manner. Had initial consultation at hartswood and then surgery at east london spire. Superb quality of care including each follow up. Highly recommended
