SpaMedica Reviews 

From first referral from my optician, I had initial contact within a week and an assessment 10 days later. Surgery was just 5 weeks later.
The staff were superb, explaining each step carefully. On op day, checking at 08:00 and discharged at 10:00.
Little if any discomfort and sight clear after 5hours. Great result.
Grateful thanks to all the staff at the Kendal site.

Understandably apprehensive but the number of patients awaiting surgery most of a certain age was surprising. The process was at best uncomfortable but certainly not painful.
The apprehension was worse than the operation. The Staff were most professional and the Op was maybe 15 or 20 minutes at most. A little post op soreness but the results were impressive. Not only has my vision improved dramatically but more striking is that colours are much much more vibrant.

Excellent, from the moment I walked in for treatment.
The staff were kind and very caring .The actual treatment was nothing short of brilliant. I say that because I was a little nervous,and was amazed that it all went so smoothly. Thank you.

Curteous and caring, I was comfortable throughout.

My cataract surgery went all to plan and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly! I really recommend them.

I have had both eyes operated upon for cataracts with great success. Efficient operation, kind and friendly staff, everything carried out on time.

I had my right eye cataract surgery 3 days ago, which at SpaMedica in Edgbaston Birmingham, The ophthalmic surgeon "Kenan Damer" is very professional, I can discuss with him about my request before the surgery.
I am not painful, the operation is performed using high technology equipment called phacoemulsification, it takes around 5-10 minutes to finish the surgery. At first I am so scaring the surgery willl carry out by registrar. Luckily it was a fantastic experience - my vision is much clearer now.
If having one more follow-up appointment would be safer and provide better assurance.
Thanks to all friendly staff who were professional and obviously the surgery team.
Thank you all

couldn't fault anything it was all very professional and spot on the staff where very friendly and helpful would highly recommend it to anyone who needs treatment would have no issues going again if needed George Stevenson

All the staff are polite professional and helpful.
They explain everything

Professional and friendly staff, speedy service, good communication, easy access to the building in Bolton. All in all an excellent experience, delighted with the cataract surgery and positive outcome.

I had my cataract surgery completed
I now realise they have lost there funding for NHS services on the day of my operation they were doing 16 operations, it was like being in a conveyor belt , they could not find the end of pellet that was used to freeze eye
Had to get surgeon to check also , I asked surgeon what might improvement would be , told me I had a lazy eye so could not tell ( that shocked me as I had never been treated for that , checked afterwards with my optician who has seen me regularly from 2008 that I had never been treated for that . So had got me mixed up with some one else . Had a final check with my own optician who said that my eye shape had changed, hence looking for the pellet that the surgeon checked also .
Once procedure over out in 10 minutes, I asked nurse about pellet, covered over really .
My optician told me they only normally do 8 a day
But surgeon will only get paid for operations they reform.
There his definitely a 2 tiers system if you pay privately

All the staff were informative, understanding, patient and caring. I was anxious initially but relaxed after being dealt with the staff at all stages. Even during the procedure the surgeon kept me informed although my anxiety grew. All the staff who calmed me with, what I took as informative words making me know what was happening at each and every stage of the process. I cannot thank them enough. I now have brilliant distant vision which I didn't have before the second cataract op. Thank you Spamedica.

5* from start to finish. Staff was amazing, put me at my ease. They even told me that l had been Excellent ! It was all so much easier than l had thought and my eyesight was good after a few hours but the next day was amazing. I couldn't stop looking out of the window. I can see the bedroom clock when l wake up, Now, l can't wait to have my other eye done. Would certainly recommend SpaMedica to everyone.

The nurses and doctors were nice and the treatment went well.

Excellent modern facility with good parking. All staff helpful and reassuring with clear explanation at each stage. The procedure was carried out by very professional practitioners in a calm and controlled way. Clear after care and follow up instructions.

I was struggling with my eye drops (Pred Forte) so I visited SpaMedica in Bolton to hopefully swap the eye drops. The visit took 2 and a half hours. Again, very professional and allowed me to fully explain my predicament. After all the examinations I received the other eyedrops (Dropodex) and found these more effective! I'm now having to take these for the next 3 weeks. Returning on the 4th June to see if all is good with the treat eye and hopefully getting a date for the right eye operation.

Very rude staff, poor communication skills, and inadequate facilities. Theatre staff ignored us, and discharge staff knew nothing about a few issues, repeatedly telling us to speak to the pharmacist and so on. Overall, I felt the current quality of staff and facilities has declined compared to a few years ago, when I received excellent service.

I'm so pleased with my eyes. I can now continue my sport of mountain biking more safely. Thanks very much to the staff and surgeons.

Everybody was really helpful and friendly made the whole experience relaxing
