- Seen on time with helpful staff and Rupal was thorough, efficient and explained my condition well. The booking of follow up appointments on the phone or online with the clinic leaves something to be desired but the reception staff helped us overcome this!

- Dr Rupal Morjaria saw my uncle for retinitis pigmentosa. She's a leading expert, incredibly thorough, and showed genuine care. We felt truly reassured by her assessment and management. I would highly recommend her to anyone needed an eye assessment
- You expect a Dr in a specialist field to be knowledgeable But not always having a great demeanour . We were thrilled with care and suggestions and genuine empathy.
