Overall a very successful appointment

Posted By coinyj53

"Overall a very successful appointment"

About: Falmouth Community Hospital / Ophthalmology

(as a service user),

I went to Falmouth Health Centre to see whether my cataracts needed removing. 

Was seen by two lovely friendly nurses who did an in depth examination of both of my eyes.

After that saw Dr Mohammed. He also examined both eyes immediately telling me both eyes needed to be operated on. I was so relieved to be told this as I'd been so worried about my eyesight as I had been told many times that I didn't need them doing (at least until I was in my 80s) ny various ophthalmists at my opticians.

I had been ready to beg Dr Mohammed to do the cataracts, luckily he said they both needed doing.
Overall a very successful appointment and only have to wait 4 weeks to have them done in St Austell.
Thanks to the two nurses and Dr Mohammed.
