Kam Balaggan Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon レビュー 554

I am delighted with my recent cataract surgery and have achieved the best vision of my life.

Having been highly short-sighted throughout my life I approached eye surgery with trepidation. The entire process, from assessment, through to surgery and aftercare, was conducted with professionalism, care and attention to detail. I felt fully informed and supported when deciding which type of IOL to have.

The results have exceeded my expectations. I now enjoy excellent distance and intermediate vision, with colours appearing brighter and clearer than before. The improvement in my quality of life has been remarkable, and I am extremely grateful for Mr Balaggan's expertise and skill that have made this possible.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Balaggan, both he, and his excellent secretary Debbie, were approachable and supportive throughout. The outcome has been life-changing and I am enjoying the best vision I have had in more than six decades.

I can highly recommend Mr Kam Balaggan.
Over the past year, I’ve had both retinal detachment surgery and cataract surgery by him and the results have been tremendous.
I’ve had excellent personal care and attention on every occasion.

From initial consultation through to post surgery examination and final discharge I received excellent service both on the clinical and the administration aspects of the process
All appointments were on time and efficient , staff at all times were well informed and courteous , my reservations on having eye surgery were received politely , and by the time surgery went ahead I was totally reassured , to the extent that I was actually looking forward to the procedure on the second eye
Really well done the whole team , no reservations on recommending at all

I experienced amazing results from cataract surgery performed on both eyes by Mr Balagan. I have worn glasses since age five and now only need them for close reading. The whole experience from start to finish was conducted by him and the staff in a highly caring, informative and professional manner.

I was unfortunate to develop a macular hole in my left eye. Following delay of treatment by the NHS I made the decision to go private and thankfully my optician referred me to Mr Balaggan. I cannot praise him enough. He was most informative and understanding of my concerns about losing my sight. His initial assessment was that he would try to improve my vision but was unsure how successful it would be. Thankfully the operation was a complete success. I was so pleased that I decided to have my right eye cataract operated on by My Balaggan. In my eyes he is the best and I can't thank him enough.

I’ve had 2 cataract surgeries done by Mr Balaggan with excellent outcomes. Everything explained in great detail and operations successful. Removing the need for me to wear glasses , except for reading small text.

Kam is extremely good at putting you at your ease and explains what he’s doing fully. He knows just what everyone of his patients needs are. As far as Ophthalmologists go I would not see anyone else only Kam

I've been lucky to have had wonderful opticians for many years; Colin Lee, in Lichfield. When they identified a problem as a retinal membrane on my right eye & development of cataracts in both, I was worried. I've been type 1 diabetic for over 50-years, but had been told there was nothing wrong by the NHS 3-years earlier. I tried to get them to look again, but after waiting 10-months was forced to ask for advice from Colin Lee's, who suggested Mr Balaggan, at Little Aston.
He saw me quickly & agreed that I needed help, booking my first operation in March & second in May. Now (in early June) my distance vision and colour perception has improved markedly, with only minor distortions in my right eye and I'm seeing a referred ophthalmologist for the in two days.
Under these circumstances, I'd always expect the specialist to be good, but in the case of Mr Balaggan's team it's "not only" the consultant, who has been as superb as his reputation that precedes him, "but also" the superb team that support him. Between them all, my experience has been exceptionally good and I'd like to thank everyone in Mr Balaggan's team who's looked after me in the last six-months.

Having seen the ophthalmologist, as mentioned above, I’m hoping to get my “lazy eye” corrected by the end of the year as well. It’s been more difficult than I expected at the outset, but to be able to see well without glasses, except for reading, will be a blessed answer to my psyche.

I first met Mr Ballagan at New Cross Hospital, when he diagnosed a Epiretinol Membrane.
I next sought Mr Ballagans advice privately, when my eyesight began to fail over a very short period of time, and he diagnosed cataracts in both eyes.
Mr Ballagan is very attentive, and always thorough in his examinations and diagnostics. I have never felt rushed during appointments, even when he’s been running late.
Both surgeries at the Nuffield hospital were painless and stress free and the theatre team at the Nuffield were so caring and reassuring - big shout out to the anaesthetists who on both occasions, made a real effort to engage and chat, which was lovely of them!
Mr Ballagan was calm, reassuring and efficient.
The results are excellent in first eye, and as very recent, still improving daily in second eye.

A few days after the operation when my sight became clearer it felt like a miracle. I didn't realise how poor my eyesight was.
Many thanks to Mr Balaggan and the Team who are amazing.

A very worthwhile experience with an outstanding improvement in my vision. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Highly recommended.

After the way I was let down and poorly treated through the NHS for such a long time, meeting Dr Kam Balaggan was the turning point I desperately needed. I had been struggling badly with my left eye and felt ignored, frustrated, and honestly losing hope that anybody genuinely cared or would help me properly.

From the very beginning, Dr Balaggan treated me with kindness, respect, and compassion. He listened carefully, took my concerns seriously, and finally gave me the expert care I should have received a long time ago. His professionalism and skill are outstanding, but what meant the most to me was that he truly cared about helping me get my life back.

Thanks to Dr Balaggan, my left eye has been sorted and my quality of life has improved massively. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything he has done for me. After such a difficult experience beforehand, he restored not only my trust in medical care but also my confidence and hope again.

I will never forget what he has done for me, and I would recommend him to anybody without hesitation.

The care and attention I received from Mr. Balaggan, his team, the nurses, and the catering staff was outstanding. My vision is now fantastic after cataract surgery; I can see both near and far without glasses, which I never thought would be possible.

Because I was very anxious on the day, the staff went out of their way to put me at ease and reassure me. The procedure itself was quick and painless—I was back in my room before I knew it, enjoying tea and a delicious lunch (the food is outstanding!). Mr. Balaggan's secretary also followed up the day after both surgeries to check on my recovery and was incredibly helpful. I couldn't recommend them more highly

Excellent care from Kam. Superb result after the procedures. Would highly recommend

I have always been apprehensive about eye surgery, but having undergone double lens replacement surgery with Mr Balaggan two weeks ago, all I can say is that I wished I had done it many years ago. From the initial consultation through to the follow-up assessment, the whole experience has been incredible. Mr Balaggan explained everything clearly and concisely, including all the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure. and any question, no matter how trivial, was answered with professionalism and courtesy. From being incredibly short-sighted, my sight improved immediately and is continuing to improve. I can read a book, work at a computer, watch television and drive, all without the aid of glasses. Mr Balaggan recommended the Clareon Vivity lens and the results have been amazing. It has been truly life-changing and l will be forever grateful. Thank you!

Professional care and consideration of patient with full explanation of procedures along the way make for a relaxed and confident patient

Having recently had cataract procedures in both eyes, Mr Balaggan ensured that the experience (on both occasions) was a positive one. Mr Balaggan explained every step with care and empathy, allaying any worries I had, and was reassuring from start to finish, including super aftercare too. My recovery from both procedures was seamless, vision in both eyes is now amazing, and I can drive confidently at night again!!! Thank you too to Debbie, his secretary, always at hand on the other end of the telephone or an email, and to his team of professionals.

After our local eye hospital saying my eye operation was problematic. Both had Cataracts but with other issues. I was recommended to Mr Balaggan who conducted eye surgery on both of my eyes one month apart and both operations were successful. I found him to be a very pleasant helpful person that put me at ease and gave me confidence in his ability to sort out my eye problem. I would recommend anyone with issues with their eyes to contact him for assistance. I now have good vision that I have not had for years.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Mr Balaggan explained everything, and put me at ease with his friendly approachable manner. My procedure was painless and my sight was improved immediately and continues to improve as the days and weeks go by. I now have 20/20 vision, can read a newspaper and drive without glasses. I had trifocals lens implants which l can absolutely recommend, l am so pleased with the results. Thank you

After reading previous patient reviews I chose Mr Kam Balaggan for my recent cataract eye surgery in both eyes. I found the treatment and care received to be first class from an extremely professional, caring, excellent surgeon, along with his secretary and the staff at Spires Eye Centre.
I was apprehensive about eye surgery but Mr Balaggan put me at ease from the initial appointment, through both ops and post op appointment where he explained fully every step of the way.
I am very pleased with the successful outcome and would highly recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone needing eye surgery. Thank you to all the team.
