- Excellent experience with Mr Islam for a chalazion removal - great job on the procedure and very friendly and professional.
- Mr. Islam, was very friendly, he discussed my symptoms with me and collectively we were able to make an informed decision on the treatment needed. He was very supportive throughout the whole process, giving me a running commentary of what he was doing, reassuring that I was OK. After my procedure, he followed up with a call to check on progress. Very happy with the service provided!
- My eye consultant Mr Niaz Islam and his team at The Holly could not have been more caring and reassuring from start to finish.
- Mr Islam was calm, reassuring and highly professional in his laser treatment of my eye. He explained the process and likely outcome very carefully and clearly. He also took the trouble to ring me regarding progress, and invited me to contact him with any issues. A lovely man!
- Excellent eye specialist who performs his job very well & is very thorough in explaining everything to you prior to the procedure to make you feel comfortable & at ease.
- From start to finish Niaz really looked after me. He gave me all the options available to me and explained every one of them. The surgery went well, everything explained along with aftercare and I had no problems at all. The cataract surgery was efficient and worked wonderfully
- Fantastic doctor and top professional, had a chalazion surgery and felt at ease the whole time, thanks a lot Dr Islam
- I met Mr Islam on two occasions, both times he was very helpful and reassuring. The procedure he performed on my eye has been very successful. I also appreciate him giving me his personal phone number and being willing to answer ad hoc questions. I highly recommend him
- So grateful to have you as my doctor. Thank you very much for your exceptional care and professionalism. You are the best!
