- Dr Muqit performed cataract sugery on my eyes 6 years ago. My eyesight has never been better. Highly recommended.
- Very poor experience across two private consultations with Mr. Muqit. Dismissive, impatient, and lacking basic empathy or communication. Appointment felt rushed and unhelpful. Deeply disappointing given his reputation which is questionable too - would not recommend. Stay clear!
- I found Mr Muqit to be engaging, comforting and extremely efficient.
- Excellent service Knowledgable Professional Great beside manner
- Efficient and effective. Extremely skilled specialist. I would highly recommend.
