"Excellent"

About: Solihull Hospital / Ophthalmology

I have now had 2 cataract procedures at Solihull hospital , the second one was yesterday , the care I received can't be faulted , I suffer with anxiety , a consequence of which is that my BP rises when I go near hospitals , goodness knows why with such wonderful staff but there you are!

The staff do their utmost to put you at ease , they are so caring , they treat you as a person , in fact the atmosphere for a hospital I think is wonderful, the surgeon comes round prior to the procedure and also was very kind and approachable ,.

I actually had a date to have it done which was cancelled and I rang to ask about it and got a cancellation which was before the appointment that was cancelled !

In summary I am very grateful to them all ,my eyesight in 24 hours is wonderful what a difference a day makes! I should also say I didn't wait that long either to get it done!

I hope this is acceptable and thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback, it is very important to us.
