- Mr Petrushkin was very helpful and I would highly recommend him. He was patient, very clear with his explanations, and understood my concerns and condition well.
- I couldn’t complete which clinic I saw Mr Petrushkin, as only 4 options came up and none of them were Moorfields Private Hospital in Bath Street. I had to click on 1 of the 4, otherwise I was unable to complete the page that it appeared on.
- I had cataracts due to Fuchs uveitis. Dr. Petrushkin’s expertise in both uveitis and cataract surgery was exceptional. He answered all my questions, performed surgery on both eyes, and gave me back clear vision. Truly grateful — highly recommended!
- Excellent and professional care.
- Mr Petrushkin gave me a calm and measured appraisal of my eye condition. He set out treatment options in a neutral way along with the potential positives and negatives. I found his approach to be both professional and reassuring. All of the staff I encountered were professional
- Brilliant all round. I receive expert care for sarcoid uveitis. I have just undergone cataract surgery which went like a breeze and I am very happy with the results. Thank you.
- Mr Petrushkin has been excellent from start to finish. The speed of his diagnosis of me (missed by another consultant), time and care spend talking through my prognosis and risk of going for a repeat surgery and then finally delivering successful surgery and a positive outcome
