Patient Feedback

“I am delighted to have found a (private) Ophthalmic Consultant whom I can trust explicitly with my ocular health. In my opinion, Miss Sonia Mall is a highly professional, highly intelligent and approachable Consultant Ophthalmologist. I, therefore, have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Miss Mall's expertise to anyone looking for an ocular appointment in the private sector.”

“Having put off having cataract surgery for too long, I was delighted to have found Miss Sonia Mall. She was very professional and caring. I am very pleased with the outcome and am looking forward to having my second eye done later this month.”

“Miss Sonia Mall is a top Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon highly skilled in her profession. The care I have received has been nothing but excellent every inch of the way. I had cataract surgery and Toric EMV Lens Implant in Feb. and March 2023. The outcome has been outstandingly successful as I can read the newspaper without spectacles and no longer need glasses for driving. I feel privileged having had Miss Mall as my Surgeon and my deep gratitude to her as I will now continue my sports activities with renewed energy and confidence. Claudette”
