We cannot recommend Mr Tomlins highly enough - we are so lucky to have contacted Mr Tomlins for our son’s Keratoconus treatment. Right from the initial contact through to the consultation visit, the surgery day and post-op visit - Mr Tomlins was very welcoming, friendly and patient and took the time to explain everything in detail and assured us and especially our son who is 17 years old. Mr. Tomlins promptly followed up with written information , explained everything in simple language and referred us to the relevant department for further tests and contact lens. Throughout the process, we felt we were in very safe hands and we were so impressed by Mr. Tomlins knowledge and passion to get it right for our son. Thanks to Mr. Tomlins our son’s procedure has gone amazingly well, he has made a swift recovery and has now started playing his favourite sport again.
