Mr Taherian's overall approach was very professional. He kept me informed at each stage of the process and responded to all questions clearly and in as much detail as I required.

I have known Mr Kasra for a long time, and we have trained and worked closely together. It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for him as he is a very well trained and experienced and a Consultant Ophthalmologist. I know him as an expert clinician, a very able surgeon and a polite and very caring doctor, who looks after his patients extremely well. I am confident that his patients would be very well cared for and would also be very happy to refer patients to him for his subspecialist interests, including corneal diseases.
