Provided excellent information and was seen very quickly
Mr Kersey comes across as very friendly, reassuring and professional all at the same time. I had 2 cataract surgeries with Mr Kersey in 2025 and all has gone very well and I am extremely pleased with the result. It's the first time in over 30 years that I am glasses free! I would highly recommend using Mr Kersey.
I had been to another consultant but had had a bad experience so was grateful to receive a recommendation from a friend to see Tom Kersey. He, and all his staff, were delightful. Very helpful, accommodating and generally caring. Especially if you are nervous, the whole team do nothing but care for you and your needs.
I like most people I’m sure were a little apprehensive about having surgery on my eyes. Having met Mr Kersey I felt I was in safe hands.
Professional and reassuring all the way through procedure.
I had 2 procedures with Mr Kersey and had an above excellent experience both times. The outcome was more than I could have hoped for. Explanations of the procedures were very clear and detailed with additional printed material provided. Mr Kersey has a very friendly and calming manner for anyone concerned about eye surgery.
Put me at ease, took time to explain about the eye and the problem I was having. Talked through the minor procedure and after a very good outcome gave excellent advice on follow-up.
This was a review of my second cataract surgery, Mr Kersey also carried out the first operation. Both went very well and I was very reassured by Mr Kersey's analysis of the results.
