Theresa Richardson was friendly, efficient and provided great service for my 94 year old father’s cataract op. She went out of her way to check and provide assistance online after the op. My father and I would highly recommend her. Opto kit at Shirley Oaks seem a bit limited.

My mother required treatment on both eyes. When all other professions failed her she was treated by Ms T Richardson. The service has been outstanding words can’t describe how professional, supportive and caring she has been with my mother. I would recommend her others. Thank you
