- Fantastic service; excellent assessment, advice and care by whole friendly team. Cannot recommend highly enough
- Rakesh Jayaswal was recommended to me by Joey Cazabon, who works with Nuffield in North Wales, and I actually traveled all the way down from North Wales just to have ICL surgery with Rakesh. I can honestly say it was completely worth it, even with the long travel. The surgery itself went flawlessly, and what stood out even more was how attentive the team was. Rakesh and his team were so kind and professional throughout, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
- Absolutely nothing to fault.
- From the beginning I was confidant that I would be well looked after ,and I was.
- If you are nervous about eye surgery, I highly recommend LaserVision Prema in Portsmouth. They looked after me so well from start to finish. Mr. Jayaswal is a true gentleman whose calm manner and precision made me feel completely comfortable. The team is professional, kind, and happy to answer any questions. A five-star experience!
- All members of staff acted in a helpful and professional manner. All aspects of the treatment were explained very clearly allowing me to be relaxed at all times.
- Very friendly staff Mr Rekesh Jayaswal Is very professional and friendly explain things Very well Very pleased with my eyes Would recommend Him
- Would 100% recommend Rakesh to anybody who were interested in the replacement lens procedure that I had done. From start to finish was very professional and friendly.
- I have been under the care of Rakesh for some years now for a variety of eye conditions. The treatment and advice I have received are second to none and his bedside manner always eases my concerns. I would (and have!) recommended him to family and friends.
- Excellent care for my cataract surgery in very impressive clinical environment. Also waiting areas are spacious and comfortable enhancing sense of calm and relaxation. Reception staff warm, courteous and efficient
