My recent eye surgery performed by Dr Golchin, at the Bon Secours hospital, and at Suite 7 & 8 Cork Eye Clinic was a complete success. Grateful thanks to Mr Golchin and his secretary for the relaxed atmosphere during and after surgery, thus removing any anxiety or stress, relating to my sight problems. My Sincere thanks.
