Mr Brookes was totally reassuring and put my mind at rest before my laser surgery. I had been somewhat apprehensive as the sight in my dominant right eye had deteriorated substantially. The procedure took minutes and was pain free and totally successful. I am so grateful!

This was my second appointment with Mr Brookes, he is always very courteous, always gives me his full attention and never holds back with the truth which I appreciate. I feel extremely safe and comfortable being treated by him as I believe his professionalism comes first in his dealings with people. My niece recommended him to me as she has been studying under him and I have found her assessment to be completely accurate.

I have seen Mr. Brookes 3 times now and have found him to be patient, realistic about my condition, clear in his explanation and both warm and courteous in his manner. This is really important as I will be seeing him at least annually for the foreseeable future and building a relationship of trust is really important. I feel really confident that I have someone to depend upon for good care going forward.
