Explanation

Initial consultation went extremely well , everything explained thoroughly. On The day of the operation Mr Caeser was helpful and courteous with explanations given throughout the day. Post operatively Mr Caeser was there and ensured I was fit to leave the hospital Throughout the procedure I was made to feel at ease and constant reassurance from Mr Caeser was given throughout. After care was explained with written documentation given . A phone call on day three from Mr Caeser was very reassuring and knowing I could contact him at any time was a bonus.

Mr Caesar is the best, I was absolutely terrified about having both cataracts operated on but he put me at ease and was very supportive and understanding which is exactly what I needed as I was very anxious

Explanation

My experience of private care by Mr Caesar was good. However, I failed to understand the after effects of the lens change .I wanted to 'mimic' the sight I had then ie. read without glasses but failed to understand what I would be able to see in between glasses for driving and TV and the reading . I am unable to see to get around the house so look forward to my appointment with the optician. My experience of the Nuffield Hospital ,Cheltenham was very poor .I have written a separate review for Mr Caesar.

This Surgeon is so obviously at the very top of his game, with a bedside manner second to none. I can honestly say I felt no pain during the procedure or throughout my recovery. I am thrilled with the results so far and wish I had ignored my initial reservations and gone for it sooner!

Explanation

Mr Caesar made me feel confident about having the eyelid surgery. There was a happy easy atmosphere in the theatre with the staff taking good care of me and which helped to relax me.. However I do not know why I was so worried before hand apart from the anxiety that the surgery would be so close to my eyes. It was completely painless. The care throughout and after was so much appreciated.

I have found Mr Ceasar to be approachable patient and assuring. He explained the procedure perfectly, talked me through it as well as giving helpful written advice, of what to expect during and after surgery! One week after surgery I am delighted with the results and wish I’d done it sooner. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending him.

I was absolutely delighted with the service I received from Mr Caesar and his excellent admin staff in relation to two recent cataract operations I had. His advice and explanations were clear and accurate and he was able to answer all my questions and queries (and there were quite a few!). I am entirely happy with the outcome in terms of my eyesight, and would highly Mr Caesar to others in need of eye operations or simply advice.

Mr Caesar has a lovely reassuring manner and explained clearly what to expect throughout the procedure and recovery. My procedure was carried out by a caring and friendly team and there was no discomfort. It was really worth taking his aftercare advice as explained in his detailed and helpful document and website and believe this hastened my recovery. I am very happy to recommend him as an experienced, caring and professional consultant.

Ric is a great surgeon and lovely guy. Very straightforward and will always give you an honest common-sense opinion. I am an eye surgeon myself and happily chose Ric to do my step-father's cataracts, a ringing endorsement if ever there was one. Also one on the best for eyelids and blepharoplasty!
