- Ms Tahmina Pearsall Consultant Ophthalmologist I went on a Sunday in September for a diagnosis on the cataracts on my eyes. From the moment I entered her office I was treated with great respect and she was exceptionally helpful and very friendly and courteous. She was very kind and reassuring towards me as I was very nervous and full of anxiety of what the procedure was going to detail. She has a great warm personality and showed me great care and concern about my fears. The nurse placed several drops in my eye, did readings, and finished with dilation of my eye, she did some more testing. Ms Tahmina Pearsall explained in detail how the surgery would be done and exactly what to expect afterwards. Andrea Blair
- Would I recommend my consultant Ms Tahmina Pearsall?, I certainly would. She gave me a very professional and comforting cataract "experience" All the various steps on my journey were fully explained. Excellent/professional staff and facilities. Would recommend.
- I was given a very clear consultation before hand to ease my nerves, explaining what I would experience throughout the procedure. During the procedure again Tamina explained what would happen and reassured me throughout. Tamina is clearly an expert in her field.
