Explanation

Mr El-Ashby, is, in my opinion, an absolutely brilliant surgeon / consultant. Earlier this year, I was referred to the eye clinic at Great Western Hospital in Swindon. I was seen the same day and found to have a detached retina. Within 48hrs, Mr El-Ashby carried out the procedure to re-attach the retina. Mr El-Ashry explained what he would be doing and also advised the % of success rates, so I was under no illusion that everything would be perfect as there was always the possibility that he would not be able to restore my sight to the level it was prior to the issue being diagnosed. I have to say I was concerned, but the procedure and the aftercare were perfect. I could not have wished for a better outcome, and consider myself so very fortunate that I had Mr El-Ashry as my consultant and surgeon. My heartfelt thanks go out to Mr El-Ashry. S.M.

Explanation

I felt very comfortable with Mr El-Ashry. He explained the process of my detached Retina repair & subsequent Cataract surgery a year later, clearly and fully. His skills are without question in my eyes (pun intended). Even my wife commented on his professionalism & confidence inspiring manner. I would be very happy to recommend Mr El-Ashry to future patients.

I had vitrectomy surgery done by Mr El Ashry in September this year and I cannot thank him enough for the outcome. No more dense floaters and my vision has even improved. I am so happy with the result. Mr El Ashry takes time to reassure you ensures you fully understand the procedure and what happens on the day. The nurses at Swindon hospital were wonderful and caring too. I would highly recommend Mr El Ashry and his team. Thank you.

Mr. El-Ashry was very easy to respond to and was very professional in attending to my treatment. I felt very comfortable in my consultation and he gave me every confidence in what and how he was going to undertake both of my eye operations. I did not feel rushed during my first appointment and all of my questions were fully explained. This confirms my 5 ***** feedback previously.
