- I thought I might have some additional new floaters in one eye. I saw Ms Stacey Strong where I was given a very professional amazing scan. This was compared to a previous one I had a year ago and I was reassured that there were no new floaters . I was however pleased that I had gone to see her as I was diagnosed with a new problem but it was very carefully and thoughtfully explained that it was at the moment nothing to worry about.
- So pleased I came to see Ms Strong she was so helpful.
- Overall - excellent experience. Dr Strong was highly professional, very calming and clear with her explanations. Great “bedside manner”. Facilities and staff were very good. My only minor quibble (and I stress minor) was how long it took the pharmacy to dispense my prescription…. Approx 40-45 mins
- Ms Strong performed extremely complex cataract surgery and in so doing saved my eyesight. I am so grateful for what she did
- Stacey Strong is a very compassionate surgeon and instills confidence throughout my cataract procedure and I felt I was in a very safe pair of hands.
- Ms Strong was friendly, professional and thorough. She explained things well and answered my concerns.
- Ms Strong is excellent. She has a reassuring approach, listens carefully and never rushes her consultations. She explains things properly and outlines options thoroughly. I would recommend her for anything ophthalmology related. She is also highly qualified having achieved an MD during her medical training.
- Ms Stacey Strong is an incredible surgeon, and I would like to thank her for her skill, expertise, kindness and patience. She has made a wonderful difference to my vision. I can now see everything so clear and all colours are brighter. I am totally thrilled with the results of my cataract surgery.
