Saw dr wagh for a check up on my cataracts, once again he was very friendly and professional I left with no concerns and would highly recommend him
Always found Mr Wagh so knowledgeable and professional.
My visit was very good. I got called in on time, and Mr Wagh was a very pleasant and professional consultant. He did thorough checks and asked good questions about my problems. And his explanation and suggestions for treatment were very clear, consise and made perfect sense.
Caring , compassionate , detailed examinations ,knows his stuff about eye issues and very reassuring. One of the top cataract eye specialists to come to for advice.
Amazing One of the best doctors I ever met Fantastic in the way he’s explained things Very polite and very educated person Very very very professional
My consultation with Mr Wagh was excellent. He took the time and trouble to explain everything to me so I could fully understand my condition and the options available to me. My husband was allowed to join me in the consulting room and Mr Wagh put us both at ease. Mr Wagh was so professional and easy to talk to. I would totally recommend him.
Mr Wagh made me very welcome from the start. He is very professional and all of the things I have ticked in the first panel.
Professional in a calm warm manner. Gave reassurance and comfort when I was uncomfortable and stressed.
Mr Wagh is a lovely gentleman. He explained clearly what my issues are, and his proposed treatment. This did not include surgery, which would have been in his financial interests and which had been recommended previously; and he explained very clearly why it was not the best course of action. The treatment he suggested is easily achievable without expensive assistance, and does feel like the best course of action even though I went into the consultation convinced I needed to go under the knife. I am very impressed with his bedside manner, ability to clearly explain the pro's and con's of all available options, and his recommending the best course of action for me, rather than including his own interests which we know from the recent news is not always the case.
