- Very professional
- I visited John Flynn Opticians in Beeston today. I am a very anxious person and couldn’t of asked for a kinder more helpful receptionist. She really did go above and beyond to help me. Dr Janjua took time to chat with me and make me feel at ease before starting the consultation and then after explained everything in a way I could understand and referred me to the relevant people to continue my care. He had extensive knowledge in the issues I face and I am so happy I chose to go with them!
- I have been visiting Dr. Janjua for my eye test since 2021 and the advice I receive is so beneficial for my eyesight going forward, his knowledge and understanding of an individual's needs is very appreciative.
- Always courteous, informative and supportive
