I had an unexpectedly great experience.

I had an unexpectedly great experience.
I was very nervous/scared - someone was going to do surgery on my eye while I was awake! The staff, from reception to the surgeon and all the nurses in between were all excellent care givers. Every step was explained. All my questions preempted and answered. I felt no pain during the procedure, some feat considering the surgeon peeled away a cataract and replaced a lens! Apart from a little pressure and my anxious discomfort, it went very well and I have no residual fear/anxiety at having my other eye done in 6 weeks.
I had a little gritty feeling in the evening which was sorted with a couple of pain killers. 2 days later and using prescribed drops, no discomfort at all. I can expect clearer vision in about about 7 days.
The place itself is very clean and Spa-like with a small amount of designated parking, which was a great help.

Referred by optician

Referred by optician. Quick follow up. Thorough pre op examination. Short waiting list. Excellent care on the day. Janet and Shan were very reassuring. 5 days later and recovery has been faultless

The whole experience was amazing.The staff were very helpful andlooked after me very well.I was naturally afraid,ie(the idea of someone poking about in ones eyes🥹was scary to say the least)Lots of waiting around for various duties the nurses etc had to perform but I didnt find it a problem as me and other patients were all in the same boat.The actual op.despite my fears was for me painless.Bit of very light prodding and an amazing flashing lights display.Reminded me of my youth in 60s all psychedelic.As I say I was very impressed with whole experience.Eye was bit itchy and the drops you get to use after op.do sting a bit for couple of minutes then it wears off.Thankyou Spamedica for all you have done.Cant wait to get second eye done.😁

I was made to feel at ease straight away, I felt totally comfortable the entire time.
Helen, Lottie, Dan, Jo, Tracey and Sam were all amazing at their jobs, allowing me to relax and stay calm during a stressful procedure! The Dr was especially good.

Cataract surgery

Had my pre op in April, staff were amazing. Had my cataract done and I was very nervous. I was put at ease by the staff and surgeon and everything was explained to me what was happening. Operation went well. Sore eye for a few hours. Perfect the next day, no headaches or problems. Looking forward to having my second eye done. Spa medica Wolverhampton

A very professional service given to me by friendly & experienced staff who explained everything they were doing. I was given the opportunity to ask any questions.
The surgery went smoothly & easy to follow instructions once home. Explained what to expect & how to use the drops.
All has gone well so far & I can now see clearly in the operated eye. I look forward to having my second eye done by SpaMedica shortly. I would definitely recommend to others.

Very happy

Staff were very kind and reassuring and done the surgery with patience and understanding. Well looked after and tea/coffee provided. I was a little apprehensive to start with but came out feeling happy with the surgery, and a smile on my face.

Excellent surgery on both eyes

Excellent surgery on both eyes, in April and in June this year. Recovery was amazingly fast - within a day each time my vision had returned in the operated eye, and any discomfort (a slightly 'bruised' feeling above the operated eye) had disappeared within a day or two. You are certainly more sensitive to strong sunlight so a pair of sunglasses is a helpful item to have to hand. I am quite myopic so on the first eye I took out a lens from my glasses so could manage to get around reasonably well with a 'good' eye (and no lens) and the unoperated one using the old prescription lens. However I really wasn't able to read too well, as at this stage my old near-vision glasses were no longer appropriate. All that changed with the second op. This was incredibly fast - I left my house at around 1.45pm and by just after 3 I was walking back in, all done! Great care and support from the team at SpaMedica Doncaster.

Highly Recommend- Friendly and Professional Staff

Everyone was professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.
The surgeon was highly experienced and took the time to explain the procedure clearly, answering all of my questions before and after the surgery. I felt well informed, reassured, and confident in the care I received.

I first visited SpaMedica in February for cataract surgery but due to having an eye infection, to which I am prone, I was sent away with anti-biotics and another date for surgery. To cut a long story short this has been a recuring theme but now both eyes are finally "fixed" and all is well. The staff have been very kind and understanding, at head office and locally and the procedures have been quick and painless. Thanks to you all and I recommend SpaMedica with flying colours.

Excellent service at Preston clinic.

All staff were very friendly, helpful and thorough.
Everything was explained. The surgery was painless and quick.
Vision in my treated left eye is brilliant. Can't wait to have the other one treated.
Only drawback is that I can now see all my wrinkles too clearly.

First Class Service whilst under pressure

SpaMedica in Poole were very busy on the day of my first cataract replacement. The staff were all great, still helping with every aspect of the treatment, still a smile and encouragement even though it was Friday afternoon. I was warned my eye could be scratchy, gritty and maybe watery, but none of that happen. I can see the television and walk round the house without glasses, I have needed for 63 years. Cannot wait to get the other eye done at SpaMedica. Thank-you so much a revelation.

5 stars to all at SpaMedica Bolton

I had a cataract procedure at SpaMedica Bolton this week. I can honestly say that from start to finish their care and professionalism was absolutely wonderful. I was extremely anxious on the day but the staff, theatre staff and consultant were so kind, explaining everything to me, and even giving me a designated hand holder! Thank you so much to everyone at SpaMedica Bolton.

Had to make an appointment for my Mother and she is being seen next week so no treatment yet but I had to comment on the exceptional service we had from Elizabeth, to those in charge she is a total asset to the company and from someone who has been in sales for 45 years , I wish every company had some Elizabeth’s.

Hassle pure hassle.

I changed my mind about surgery and cancelled my appointment. A few weeks later I was called to rebook, said I was not interested and would call them if I changed my mind. Another few weeks later they called again I told them the same thing. Called yesterday and I told them again. Called again today to reschedule and I blew up. I was told they would not take action till I went through security. I said I was not wasting any more time and hung up.
UPDATE.. They called again at 8.50am the next day, that’s every day for three days.
