Knowledgable Efficient. Personable manner kind and professional I trusted him and have every confidence in his ability to ensure optimal care and management treatment if required Many Thanks Isabel D.
I found Mr Yagan charming and assuring. He explained my progress and what I could expect in the future. He said we would write to my GP to have me put back into the NHS system for my on going problems, which he has done. He has discharged me from his care but noted that I could need further treatment in future.
I have been very pleased with Mr Yagan's professionalism. My only criticism would be that I found the administration lacking with confused dates and misunderstandings.
Small procedure to remove tags on my lower eye line. Mr Yagan and his team were very caring and even offered me a hand to grip. However even the injection wasn’t that bad and once that was done I didn’t feel a thing. Very good experience.
Mr Yagan is kind and empathetic. He listens to concerns without a trace of scepticism, however odd they may be! His advice is invaluable and his report of the consultation in his letters to the GP are pertinent. Any patient of Mr Yagan is extremely fortunate and I have the utmost confidence in him.

I am really grateful for your very kind words.
Mr Yagan explained everything in a logical clear manner. He laid out all the options to allow the patient to proceed. A true gentleman.

Glad to be able to help. Thank you
It’s always reassuring to have an appointment with Mr Yagan. His manner is kind and sympathetic. He’s a very good listener. He writes a very accurate and pertinent follow-up letter to the GP. I’m very glad indeed that he is looking after my eyes.

Thank you for your very kind words. Hope to always be able to help.
Very thorough. I was listened to. I felt happy discussing my symptoms and Mr Yagan's recommendations for management.

Thank you for your very kind words
