VIEW ALLWhat Our Patients Say

I am most grateful and delighted with my treatment for cataract removal and YAG laser treatment to remove blurry vision two and a half years ago. I found Mr. Golchin very kind and extremely professional as I had both procedures carried out by him in the Bon Secours hospital. His explanations and calm reassuring manner helped to allay my fears. I highly recommend his services and so thankful that I was lucky enough to hear about him. The clinic staff have also been very helpful and friendly.
