Mr Alwitry is excellent. Has always made me feel at ease and provided me with prompt excellent care. I have moved recently but still want to deal with Mr Alwitry so travel over 120 miles as I wouldn’t trust my eye care with anyone else.

Explanation

I cannot thank Mr Alwitry enough. He took over my care for a central retinal vein occlusion when the NHS failed me. He has at all times treated me wonderfully, taking great care to explain everything and inviting me to ask questions. I dread to think what may have happened without his intervention. I would recommend Mr Alwitry to anyone. His manner with patients and knowledge is exemplary. It was a pleasure to be in his care and I have had a very successful outcome. Thank you so much Mr Alwitry for all you did to restore my eyesight and thank you to Nicola (PA) too.

Since Mr Alwitry took over my care from Boston Pilgrims ophthalmology department I feel completely secure that I have a team that will monitor and act to minimise my sight loss. I have followed Mr Alwitry in to his private practice away from the NHS for exactly these reasons.
