- I have just finished my treatment with Mr Subramaniam, having had both eyes treated for cataracts. Trusting someone with you eyesight is about as big as it gets but Mr Subramaniams professionalism meant any initial concerns I had previous to the consultation were left at the door. I knew he had an excellent reputation prior to our first appointment but I have to say having had the operation and experiencing the results is remarkable. My vision is the best its ever been. With thanks Jason
- All good. Dr Subramaniam clearly was in total command of his speciality, answered all of my many question fully and patiently, and most importantly carried out the cataract procedures safely and effectively. He guided me away from choosing the more exotic and expensive multifocal lenses with good reasoning (complications to my right eye) and at all times i felt informed, reassured and comfortable.
- My experience with Mr Subramaniam and his team at the Park Hospital was second to none. My eye surgery went perfectly. I felt safe and informed throughout. I can recommend Mr Subramaniam and the Park hospital 100%
- Mr Subramanian was extremely kind and caring. My operation was possibly more complicated than normal but he explained it carefully to me and was very reassuring. I felt very confident in his care and his skills. On the day of the operation he had a calming effect and talked to me throughout the procedure to make sure I was Ok. I would thoroughly recommend him.
- Mr Subramaniam has been amazing thought out my treatment explaining everything to me, so making everything so much easier. He is very pleasant and treats me with care and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone needing any kind of eye surgery.
- Excellent procedure, friendly yet progessionally delivered. Mr Subramanian inspires confidence in his patients.
- Mr Subramaniam is a very caring and gentle man, and he is a thoroughly knowledgeable medical professional who knows his speciality inside out. After my first appointment he had my complete confidence, As a result i now have 2 eyes that work as well as they ever have, For this I thank him and his team.
- Excellent Service all round. Would highly recommend Mr Subramaniam and the team at Spire hospital Nottingham
- Absolutely recommend this hospital and doctor. They couldn’t have done more to make me feel relaxed and welcome. The procedures were explained in terms I could understand at each stage. I felt safe and in good hands throughout the process.
