Excellent care given throughout . My symptoms were explained clearly to me and I felt very reassured.. An outstanding doctor..
Mr Kulkarni explained what he was doing and would be doing at every stage of my consultation. I found him to be very knowledgeable about my situation and went through clearly what he proposed, as well as any potential risks. He put me at ease and I found his manner very amenable.
Mr. Kulkarni has been my eye specialist for a great many years. Originally I went to him because I had some pain in one eye and had some laser treatment for that and it was cured. Later I was operated on for cataract and the miracle of not having to wear glasses all the time only for reading has been wonderful. I return annually or more often. Recently after a fall on my face I had my eyes checked just in case.

Very detailed exam, honest and informative review of my eye issue.
Mr Kulkarni has been my eye consultant for many years. I can not fault him. He is always very careful in explaining his findings after examining me and listening to any concerns I may have.
