- Very good Consultant. Gentle, quick and explained each process.
- Ms Anikina was amazing throughout. She took on all my concerns & worries with genuine care, answering every query promptly & professionally. The treatment was handled with kindness, clarity & reassurance. Despite this being major eye surgery, she made me feel supported at every stage & treated everything with the utmost care & respect. The staff were friendly & attentive, and the clinic was clean, comfortable & well‑run. Highly recommend Ms Anikina to anyone seeking exceptional specialist care.
- Lovely to meet Ms Anikina at her Spire clinic. Gentle, reassuring and knowledgeable approach.
- A self-limiting visual disturbance may seem like a non-issue to the doctor but from the patient's perspective it can be quite upsetting. I don't feel the doctor empathised as evidenced by her very brief chat with me. She offered very little specialist value, and was prepared to end the consultation after assuming I had googled the condition.Doctor's response -I am sorry that you felt the consultation was of little value. My aim is always to reassure patients, however sometimes misunderstandings arise regarding the nature of the patient's real concerns and the specific worries they may have. Please rest assured that we alsways take patient experiences and concers seriously. Please make contact with us to try to rectify things. I would be very happy to listen to any concerns you may have and provide information in other formats, in case you may find this of additional benefit.
