"Treatment explained at every stage"

About: Mater Hospital / Macular Unit Mater Hospital Macular Unit BT14 6AB

Posted by Nora40 (as the patient), 3 months ago

I attended the macular clinic at the Mater Hospital Belfast last week after a comprehensive eye examination.
I then had injections in both eyes. I was examined by Mr Gupta and a nurse named Olga. At every stage of the treatment it was explained to me what was about to happen and why.
Not a pleasant experience, but it was made much easier by putting me at ease.

Do you have a similar story to tell?

Dear Nora40
Many thanks for your comments following your recent visit to the Macular Clinic.
The process involved in receiving injections can cause anxiety so I'm glad that you felt you were kept fully informed throughout. Your compliments to Mr Gupta and Nurse Olga have been noted.
Kind regards
