I had my right cataract eye done The staff were very clear before during and after the procedure which made me feel a lot easier for me I can’t wait to have my second eye done now I know what to expect Many thanks again to all the staff
Mr. Islam, was very sociable and friendly, he listened to my concerns, explaining possible causes and treatment to be performed.
A wonderful, affable, competent, helpful, professional, excellent surgeon. He has given me back my sight after very successful cataracts surgery. He has performed a miracle.
I was totally freaked out at the thought of my first cataract operation, but Mr Islam and his team at The Holly could not have been more reassuring, kind and professional in helping this panicking NHS patient through to a successful outcome for renewed sight. Much respect.
Felt completele reassured by Mr Islam ,as was anxious about the procedure. So glad I met with him for my condition. Everything went to plan as discussed before the procedure.
Mr Islam was very engaging & eager to explain what my issue was and how he was going to treat it. This provided reassurance and an understanding of the treatment required.
I saw Mr. Niaz Islam who treated both my eyes due to Stigmatism & other problems. I cannot express the overall kindness & reassurance he gave me in explaining everything in detail for my procedure. After having my procedure for both eyes I cannot express the excellent work carried out. Both my eyes were in better condition than before & was able to see better & no longer needed glasses to wear. I would like to express once again the excellent work carried out & the detailed information given to me prior to the procedure. He is always a phone call away when in need too. Well done Mr. Niaz Islam
Have no complaints 2 procedures went very well he made me feel relaxed and I had no fear at all I would recommend him to friends and family with confidence.
Niaz and I have known each other for many years since we were trainees. I can endorse that he is a dedicated doctor and a fantastic colleague.
