- I have been seeing Mr Masood for several years with Glaucoma in both eyes. He has removed cataracts from both eyes when necessary with really excellent results. He is friendly (though perhaps a little reserved) and I would recommend him to others (as I have) without hesitation
- My experience was everything I hoped for excellent thank you. Clear, concise, encouraging and honest.
