- I have great confidence in Mr Meyer-Bothling and his ability to help me with my eye condition.
- Extrenely professional with clear and concise information given.. Felt totally at ease and very pleased with the outcome of the surgery
- Mr Meyer-Bothling is one of the nicest doctors I've ever met. He combines a cheerful manner with efficient professionalism. I feel part of the decision making process and am fully confident that I am receiving expert and up to the minute advice. I'm very grateful to be seen by him.
- The best experience I’ve had with an ophthalmologist in years. They were all efficient, friendly, thorough and understanding. I would definitely return to this clinic and especially see Dr Meyer-Bothling again. Thank you
- There is nothing for me to criticise about Ulrich or his Clinic. His after-care following my two cataract operations was exemplary.
- I couldn’t have been happier with my surgeon, Mr Meyer-Bothling. I knew my eyes were in expert hands. The nursing staff at Cobham Day Surgery were very professional yet available for any questions. I was a little nervous at first but instantly felt at ease because everyone knew what they were doing. In the waiting room on the ward there was friendly chatter amongst us.
- I trust my valuable eyes to no one else. Ulrich is a "gold standard" consultant who I have been meeting since 2014, and he can be trusted implicity on the advice and course of any treatment if necessary. Extremely personable, and ever welcoming, I recommend Ulrich wholeheartedly and without reservation.
- Excellent consultation. Clearly explained his findings, possible next steps and pros and cons.
- Welcoming, professional , understanding and thorough.
