"A wonderfully warm human being and a true gentleman"

About: Mater Hospital / Macular Unit

(as the patient),

My story started a few years ago when I was diagnosed with a mactel1, a rare eye condition to have, even more so for a female to have. 

I was referred to the Macular Clinic at the Mater Hospital, where I first met Mr Gupta, a wonderfully warm human being and a true gentleman. 

Having been told in the past that I would need treatment for my condition for the rest of my life, possibly lose the sight in the eye I had excepted this news.

My first meeting with Mr Gupta resulted in him doing a new lazer treatment which destroys only the fatty tissue and does not leave the patient with a blind spot like the old treatment did.

My second meeting was even more wonderful, as the results left both myself and Mr Gupta with a wide smile on our faces as the treatment was a marvellous success, so much so that I have been discharged from the clinic with the option of contacting Mr Gupta's secretary to make an appointment should I have any issues or concerns in the future.

This man's attitude and warm caring nature towards me made this worrying time bearable.

Dear bettq64,

I am delighted to read such a positive story and impact this treatment has had on your overall eye health.

I will be sure to pass on this wonderful account to Mr Gupta.

Regards,

Adam
