- 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.
- I have been under the care of Mr Horgan for nearly 20 years. I have always had the utmost trust in his treatment, and have appreciated his kind and conscientious engagement.
