Kam Balaggan Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon Recensioni 556

I had a cataract form on my right eye, which is my main eye for clay shooting . This hindered me from doing my chosen sport , and everyday life.
I was given Mr Balaggans details by my optician, as one of only two people in the country he would trust to do my operation .
From the first details everything was so professional and easy to go through . My first meeting we discussed which lense I would need, fully explained to me . The op was booked , and carried out to the highest standard , with all aftercare fully explained .
After only a week after my op I have been for my follow up with Mr Balaggan, and I can now see two rows of letters better than 20-20 vision! This is with 5 more weeks of healing to go.
Thank you so much Mr Balaggan , you have made me very happy and would 100% recommend yourself and your company if any asked for a reference .

Mr Balaggan and team made the whole vitrectomy experience a lot less daunting than could have been the case. I would thoroughly recommend.

From the initial consultation and the procedure I can only speak as I find but Kam was excellent. I have achieved 20/20 vision in my left eye and would highly recommend Kam if you are considering cactaract surgery.

I would highly recommend Mr Balaggan for cataract surgery. The whole process was by Mr Balaggan and his team, with excellent results in my vision.

Mr Balaggan has been very thorough, honest and my surgery went very well. I was fully informed at all times, before, throughout and post surgery and am now recovering well from my Vitrectomy. I was worried about being awake but it was absolutely fine!

Mr Balaggan performed my cataract surgery. I had three visits in total including the operation. At each visit Mr Balaggan was extremely professional, courteous and approachable. He was more than happy to answer any questions and also to have a friendly chat. He was very thorough and I am absolutely delighted with the result. I would recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone requiring cataract surgery.

Mr Balaggan performed an urgent Vitrectomy and Capsulotomy. At a worrying time he was professional and very reassuring. He gave me confidence in him which was fully justified by a successful operation. I am deeply in his debt.

My experience with Dr. Balaggan has been extremely positive and supportive. From day one he put me at ease, especially when I was very nervous about having cataract surgery. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and is truly excellent at what he does. Thanks to his care and expertise, I’ve been able to regain my sight again my recovery is going very well.

I’m very grateful to him and his team for handling my case with such care and compassion.

Today I went to resolve what I thought could be something dangerous and today for the first time in a long time I had my faith restored in the NHS after meeting DR kam he is incredibly professional and has outstanding compassion and understanding for his patience. Thank you so much.

Mr Balaggan made me feel very calm and it’s clear he’s very good at what he does. Would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Mr Balaggan repaired my macular hole which was of great concern to me, coming out of the blue.
I have to say that Mr Balaggan is an outstanding professional and did a super job on my eye, completely closing the hole for me. He is very calm and precise and I was very pleased to be kept informed every step of the way through the procedure which was actually not as bad an experience as I had thought it would be. He was also very thorough with the follow up appointments and I would recommend Mr Balaggan to anyone in a similar position.

Mr Balaggan was a calming professional who took time to explain each step and give a sensible best and worst case scenario. He assured me that he would do his very best to close a "Very Large" macular hole I presented with.
I underwent surgery within two weeks and the care and reassurance that both the operation and the aftercare afforded was simply, second to none.
Mr Balaggans expertise has resulted in a successful closure of my macular hole and I have no hestiation in 100% recommending him to anyone requiring eye surgery. I am delighted with the results.

My excellent optician diagnosed a Macular Hole.
I was recommended to Mr Balaggan, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at my local Nuffield Hospital.
Mr Balaggan carefully and throughly explained my condition and the possible outcome. He recommended a Vitrectomy. I consented to this procedure. This was carried out as soon as possible at Spire hospital Little Aston.
Mr Balaggan carried out the surgery.
I have been highly delighted with Mr. Balaggan who is a first class eye surgeon with vast experience and knowledge in his field and also a considerate and caring person.
After a follow up consultation/examination I have now been discharged.
Again I am delighted with the outcome of the surgery.
I can highly recommend Mr. Balaggan for any eye surgery/treatments.

I was treated by Mr Balaggan following a routine eye examination which highlighted a bleed at the back of my eye. Following tests, Mr Balaggan diagnosed Central Retinal Vein Occlusion, related to macular oedema, which requires ongoing Eylea eye injections.

I was panicked about the injections, but Mr Balaggan put me at ease with his calm confidence and gentle manner. He clearly explained conditions and procedures and took time to answer any questions. I have received 4 injections so far: all have gone smoothly. My eyesight has improved dramatically, thanks to his input.

Mr Balaggan is highly professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He referred me to two other specialists to find the cause of the bleeds. According to the nurses in the department, he is top of his field and fabulous to work with.

I would highly recommend Mr Balaggan for any eye related procedure.

I had been exploring whether premium IOLs were the best choice for me and my particular prescription. On hearing that my optician had not only herself opted for them but that she had chosen Mr Balaggan to perform the surgery it was recommendation enough. I then researched Mr Balaggan's professional training and experience and was impressed!
In the initial consultation Mr Balaggan professionally assessed which type of lens was the most suitable for me, was clear about outcomes and patiently and respectfully answered my questions -such a lovely man. As a result, during surgery I felt thoroughly confident in his skill and had no anxiety whatsoever. The nursing team went about their work in an equally professional, knowledgeable but friendly manner, inspiring confidence and reassurance in the process.
My vision becomes sharper each day as my brain adapts. Can't wait to have the second eye operated on.
