Customers often praise the medical staff and reception teams for being exceptionally caring, friendly, and professional, making everyone feel completely safe and at ease during visits. People frequently note that the surgical procedures are remarkably quick and practically painless, with significantly improved vision experienced almost immediately afterwards.

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 …

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.

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.

Excellent service

Excellent service, my cataract surgery took about one and a half hours from walking into the clinic to leaving.
Nurses and consultants were brilliant.
The surgery took place in the Birmingham clinic.
