- My personal preference would be to not have evening appointments but I fully appreciate that this depends on the consultants workload which I am sure is high.
- Mr El-ASHRY was brilliant. Reassuring yet totally professional. I am so grateful for his skill.
- The clinical side and clinical outcomes were excellent, which is by far the most important thing. However there have been a number of administrative hiccups and mis-steps in relation to billing and clear communications.
- If you have to have eye treatment, I can't recommend Mr El-Ashry enough. All the way through my appointments and operations he has been very reassuring, explaining everything that was going to happen.
- On first meeting Mr El-Ashry, his experience, professionalism & personal charisma ensued ultimate trust. I now have pure clarity of vision...a priceless gift. I would highly recommend this very gifted gentleman to everyone. With deep gratitude & appreciation Mr El-Ashry.
- Mr El Ashry had a professional but friendly manner with staff and patients alike. I like to have all the facts about the procedure and after care (not sourced from Dr Google) so I did have lots of questions which Mr El Ashry answered thoroughly.
- Mr El Ashry acted with complete professionalism during my pre op consultation, putting me at ease by explaining all aspects of the operation, the procedure day went very well as did the recovery and post op consultations, extremely pleased with my outcome.
- Mr El Ashry displayed a highly professional approach whilst maintaining a relaxed and comforting, confident demeanour.
- Very professional and put me at ease
