Reviews

- Condition of facilities
- I would certainly recommend John Awad to anyone needing treatment of cateracts. I found him to be approachable, friendly and his explanations were clear and concise, inspiring confidence in a nervous patient. Because of his skill my eyesight is so much improved and I am pleased that I placed my trust in him. Thank you.
- I find the wait time for my appointment is unnecessarily long as only have the basic eye test prior to seeing Mr Awad. On the last appointment my overall wait time was nearly 2hrs. It should be organised more efficiently for those patients who need a simple procedure and in my case a simple botox injection.
- Dr Awad was a very pleasant Dr to talk to and explain my conditions so well I would have no doubts to be treated by him again
- Very friendly and the cataract operation was painless
- Good, relaxed and professional. Very pleasant. Thank you
- Everything went well on my visit. The receptionist was welcoming, directed me to the waiting area and pointed out the facilities. After a short wait, I was seen by the nurse. He quickly carried out tests and answered my queries. A short while later, I saw Mr Awad who discussed a report I had obtained from my local optician. We discussed my recent cataract operation and all of my questions were fully answered. I was pleased with all aspects of my visit and the friendliness of all I met.
