On 21/8/21 I attended Day Surgery for a right cataract extraction and lens implant. Mr Fook Lam and his team carried out the procedure.
I was very pleased with the whole event from the time of arrival until leaving to go home. All the staff were kind, courteous, pleasant and most helpful. I'm now looking forward to next month when I 'm booked in for the same procedure on my left eye.”
