- I have been treated by Dr. Safiullina a few times now, she operated on both my eyes for cataracts, and more recently dealt with a displaced retina for me. I have been tremendously impressed with her care, professionalism and attention. A wonderful doctor.Doctor's response -Thank you so much for your kindest words, I am very grateful. Very pleased with your visual results, they are amazing, you did really well. All the best.

- I had diabetic retinopathy, haemorrhage and retina detachment in both my eyes. There were times I could not see anything due to all the blood in my eyes causing extremely reduced sight. Then I contacted Dr Safiullina and her treatment, professional care and amazing team has completely overdone my hopes and expectations. She was quick to act which has prevented me going blind and having more severe complications. I have had several operations performed by her and my sight has now nearly returned to normal and is still constantly improving. I can not recommend her enough and I feel lucky that I have decided to reach out to her when it seemed that my sight could be lost and there was no time to waste. The deterioration of one’s sight is an extremely scary, helpless and stressful situation and I am beyond thankful to Dr. Safiullina for curing my eyes! She is not only an excellent professional but also an exceptional person.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your kindest review, I am very grateful. I am delighted with your improvement and all the vision gradually almost back to normal. Best Wishes

She offered me hope in a situation which I had been previously told was hopeless She is a doctor who truly cares about her patients, and the medical community would be in a much better state if all doctors displayed her level of dedication and compassion. I will be forever grateful that Dr. G accepted me as a patient.Doctor's response -Thank you so much for your kind words, I am so very grateful.
