- I saw Mr Morrsion for 2 surgeries in 2019 when I was 15. I turned out to be quite a complicated case but I could not have chosen a better doctor to go with. I cannot recommend Danny & his team (Gutrpreet and Gillian) enough. The care and expertise they showed was second to none.
- Mr Morrison operated on our one year old child, who had been born with a prominent dermoid cyst close to the eye. Mr Morrison had an excellent bedside manner and inspired total confidence throughout, from the initial consultation through to the day of the procedure, which went very well. We couldn’t be happier with the result - there is no trace of the cyst or the incision. Thank you so much!
- I can’t recommend Mr Morrison highly enough. He looked after my anxious 16 year old daughter and his care, expertise, professionalism and demeanour from start to finish were exemplary. The surgery itself and her recovery thereafter represents how skilful he is in his work.
- After years of problems with my eyesight caused by Ptosis I am delighted with the results following my surgery. From the outset I was happy and confident with the professional service received. Excellent results! Gillian was also fully supportive, friendly and helpful throughout!
- Mr Danny Morrison takes care of my 3 kids. He has an excellent bedside manner with my young kids and is patient with the parents and our questions too. He is very professional and I chose him based on a personal recommendation plus due to his experience and medical background.
- My son received excellent treatment and care. The surgery was successful. Mr Morrison explained everything at each step of the way. His PA, Gillian, was very helpful and happy to work with us in securing appointments that didn’t interfere with school.
- Mr Morrison was the perfect choice for my daughters squint operation. He was calm and reassuring and very honest about each stage and delivered on every single point. We could not be happier with the results of the eye op and my daughter has grown so much in confidence.
- I saw Mr Morrison for adult strabismus surgery. He is very patient, professional & explained everything in perfect detail. He is an absolute eye genius. I am super happy with the outcome would highly recommend him! His secretary Gillian is also amazingly patient and informative.
- Mr Morrison and his team performed surgery that has literally changed my life. Everything from start to finish has been smooth I felt extremely comfortable I couldn’t recommend him more.
- Dr Morrison and the team has been absolutely fabulous throughout. My girl was in kind and safe hands, both before and during her operation. I’d highly recommend Dr Morrison for sure. Very appreciative of our time with them.
