- Dr Cascone made me feel heard and he empathised with my concerns. He listened patiently and clearly outlined the options available to me. During my surgery, he made me feel relaxed whilst reassuring me throughout. The result of my ptosis surgery was 10/10. Thank you Dr Cascone!
- I am extremely grateful to this exceptional doctor for his professionalism, expertise and care. For many years, I had growths around both eyes and on my right temple, which gradually increased in size, causing discomfort and affecting my confidence. Thanks to his successful surgery, I now feel much better, happier and more confident in myself. A truly outstanding specialist who has made a real difference to my life. I wholeheartedly recommend him! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
- I had upper blepharoplasty with Mr Cascone a week ago, and I’m already delighted with the results. I wish I had done it sooner. From the first consultation, Nikhil was the kindest, calmest presence, he immediately put me at ease. I had the procedure under local and didn’t feel anxious at any point. He explained everything clearly, was incredibly thorough, and made the whole experience feel safe. I met with several surgeons before deciding, and I’m so glad I chose him. He is outstanding!
- Dr Cascone is extremely professional, kind and gentle. During my procedure I felt safe and relaxed. He is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable.
- Mr Nikhil Cascone was absolutely fantastic throughout my upper blepharoplasty journey. He was so friendly, reassuring and really helped calm my nerves before the procedure. The operation itself was excellent.He removed the excess skin & achieved such a natural, symmetrical result. My friends and family noticed the difference straight away! The aftercare has also been fantastic, and I’ve felt really well looked after throughout. If Mr Cascone is your surgeon, you’re in very safe hands.
- I cannot thank Mr Cascone enough for the exceptional care, kindness, and dedication he has shown throughout my cataract surgery journey.

His continued support and aftercare have been exceptional. My sincere thanks also to the wonderful team for their compassion and professionalism.
