- Mr Scawn was reassuring and kind. He repaired my eyelid after very invasive removal of skin cancer. He has given me a result I didn’t think possible under the circumstances. I highly recommend him and would use him again if I consider future work.
- I can't recommend Mr Scawn and his practice enough. Before being referred to him, I was booked in for surgery which he identified I didn't need. He took the time to comprehensively examine my eyes and also noted conditions that had been missed over years. After the first visit, I was given medication, instead of an operation, and the swelling including the pain decreased for the first time in months. Following this, I've been received non-surgical treatment. The care, attentiveness, professionalism and treatment has been invaluable. Not withstanding the relief from discomfort and pain, it revived my self esteem. Thank you Mr Scawn and fabulous team.
- I travelled from Manchester during the Christmas period to have my Chalazions accessed. Dr Scawn was prompt and efficient in examining, diagnosing and removing 3 chalzions successfully. The process was fast and the issue was remediated within the hour to my pleasant surprise!
- Very easy and quick.

- He was amazing. I have had problems since birth due to a muscle defect in my eyelid. After being fobbed off by other doctors, he took the time to listen to me, draw diagrams and really helped me understand; like he cared! He also gave me a diagnosis, after 21 years of searching!!

- Dr Scawn was excellent. Explained what the cyst was and why it appears. Asked if I wanted it removed then or come back. I had it removed there and then.
