- Simon and his team have now successfully completed lens replacement surgery for four members of our family. Two out of necessity (cataracts) and two out of choice for vision correction and eliminating the need for glasses. The results are outstanding and I wholeheartedly recommend Simon and his team. If the procedure seems daunting, fear not. Talk to Simon and you will get advice that is straightforward, balanced and delivered with a calm assuredness that inspires confidence for patients.
- An excellent ophthalmologist. The whole consultation was thorough, efficient and professional, and most importantly, provided us with much-needed reassurance. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and kindness shown. A truly outstanding clinician who I would recommend without hesitation.
- Simon Horgan gave clear explanations prior to cateract surgery. He did an amazing job during surgery removing all of a very dense cateract. Follow up was excellent with tailored support. All of his staff were very good and helpful as well as the team at the Nuffield Woking. Made it a seemless process
- Very professional all round
- I contacted Mr Horgan’s clinic for an urgent appointment on a friend’s recommendation following chemical ingress in my eyes.Thanks to his administrator, I was offered an appointment on the same day. My consultation with Mr Horgan was informative in terms of the damage to my eyes and also reassuring about my prospects for an eventual recovery. The prescribed medication led several weeks later to a near complete recovery and I highly recommend Mr Horgan to anyone seeking the best ophthalmic care.
- Very thorough, reassuring and understanding. Highly recommend.
- Mr Simon Horgan is very professional and pleasant. I had cataract operations in both eyes and as I had laser surgery about 5 years before he warned me that the outcome would not be as good as he would like it to be because his choice of lenses was restricted. I was told that I would have to wear glasses for reading or for driving. I elected to wear them for reading Not being able to read without glasses is a rather a handicap but I had been fully informed of the outcome.Doctor's response -Thank you for this informative review. Yes, previous laser surgery will restrict the variety of lenses available to you meaning that glasses will be required. We are glad you felt fully informed of the possible outcome before proceeding.
