Extremely satisfied with the treatment

Extremely satisfied with the treatment, feel very happy in knowing my eyes are in good hands with Mr Balaggan. Thorough and attentive, from diagnosis to surgery and aftercare. I would exclusively recommend him to anyone with any concerns.

Outstanding care and support

Mr Balaggan was supportive throughout the pre-op, during and after the surgery. He was able to answer any questions I had and put me at ease. He was also available out of hours if I needed any help or had any concerns. He was professional at all times and made me feel comfortable and calm. If I required more eye surgery I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Five well-deserved stars!

First class service, coupled with calm and reassuring professionalism, a quality outcome and brilliant aftercare, Mr Balaggan made what was the daunting prospect of cataract surgery to both eyes an absolute breeze. The difference is truly remarkable. I recommend Mr Balaggan and his team to anyone - five well-deserved stars!

Hi Mr Tudor thank you for your lovely review for Mr Balaggan and his team

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent care and outcome

Finding out that I had cataracts at, in my opinion, was a relatively young age, shocked and terrified me. I have been very short sighted from a young age and had a severe astigmatism. Mr Ballagan talked through the process and gave me various options. He helped me make a difficult decision and reassured me through every stage. His secretary Debbie helped with before and after support. I would thoroughly recommend them both.

Couldn't recommend more

I found that my experience with Dr. Kam Balaggan was highly commendable. He was extremely helpful and ensured that my comfort was a priority. I had full confidence in all the information he gave me while I was under his care being to the upmost highest standard. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Hi Mrs Bowman thank you for your lovely review and that you are pleased with the outcome of your surgery

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent

Mr Balaggan is a most pleasant and professional gentleman. From my husbands first consultation regarding the removal of an Epiretinol Membrane he explained clearly the process, potential outcome and responded to any concerns that he had. His aftercare, including contact with the dispensing optician was dealt with both promptly and courteously.
My husband would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the exprtise of Mr Balaggan to anyone in need of Opthalmic surgery. So much so, that he further consulted with him subsequently and underwent cataract surgery to the same eye.

Mr Kam Balaggan

I'd always had a phobia about eye surgery, and was scared about losing my eyesight. So was apprehensive when I met Mr Kam Balaggan, to say the least.

I needn't have worried. Throughout my care I was given full information of what to expect. I had access to Mr Balaggan at all times if I had any questions or worries.

During my surgery I received excellent care by Mr Balaggan and his team and I can't thank him enough.

Because of Mr Balaggan's expertise and skill, my surgery was successful and I would recommend him to anyone

Professional and kind

I had 2 cataract operations carried out by Mr Balaggan some months ago. He was very kind and explained everything in a way that was easier for me to understand. He said that one eye would need a more complicated procedure because of the existing problem of Macular Degeneration.
Both eyes are very much improved.
The whole experience was made more comfortable because of Mr Balaggan's professional approach and his kindness. I felt very safe in his care.

Cataract Procedure

I recently underwent cataract surgery with Mr Balaggan. He and his team explained everything in detail, which put my mind at ease. If I have any ophthalmology issues in the future, I’d definitely go back and see Mr Balaggan.

Wonderful treatment and improvement to eyesight.

Between 2022 and 2024 I had five different operations with Kam Balaggan on my eyes. Holes in the macular, cataracts, and latterly, laser treatment. As a result my eyesight is wonderful and I cannot thank Kam enough. Kam is a lovely person, very polite and extremely professional. I would recommend him to anyone needing treatment.
