- Mr Awad dealt with my cataracts at the end of July 2026, implanting enhanced monovision (EMV) lenses in both eyes. The procedure was very satisfactory and my vision in both eyes is now near-perfect. He was friendly, approachable and informative at the initial consultation, the procedure itself and the follow-up consultation. I had complete confidence in his professional ability and I strongly recommend Mr Awad to anyone needing cataract surgery.
- The treatment I had was amazing am very happy with the results and would highly recommend the Spire hospital and Mr AWAD to anyone who requires eye surgery
- Highly recommend Mr Awad. I am absolutely delighted with the result of my recent cataract surgery. Everything went smoothly from my initial assessment through surgery and follow up appointment. Mr Awad is friendly, professional and takes time to explain everything and really listens to concerns. The surgery was arranged quickly which has allowed me to get back to my normal activities.
- I was very satisfied with all aspects of my appointment and treatment. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend mr Awad.
- Nuffield a lovely hospital, Mr Awad and his Staff exceptional.
- Such an amazing experience with John Awad, outstanding results, bedside manner and overall after care. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you so much.!
- I had my appointment with Mr Awad yesterday for an examination for my upper bleph surgery in a few weeks, and I was blown away with the level of care and attention to detail he provided. My eyes were examined, measured, and everything was explained to me in full. Mr Awad took time to then answer all questions I had, looked at photos I had brought with me showing what I had in mind, and showed how he would tailor the procedure to my face/eye shape. Extremely excited to proceed.
- I recently had Mr John Awad for cataract surgery in one eye. The initial consultation was very thorough with the procedure just six days later. I was extremely nervous, really quite frightened, but he was so very reassuring, kind and patient, as were the small team of nurses who support him. The procedure went smoothly with no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Eventually, I will need the other eye doing and I fully intend to have Mr Awad again. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
- My experience with Mr. Awad was that he is a very accomplished practitioner. My appointments and the treatment I received from all the staff involved put me at ease and made the experience as easy as it . was possible. Thank you all for my treatment and I can heartily recommend you all from my experience.
- Trouble free operation , could not ask for more
