Dear Mr Shenoy Thank you very much for operating on my squint. I was completely reliant on my prism glasses to read and play any sports while having both my eyes open, and the surgery has now allowed me to do all of this glasses free! I can now do water sports without closing one eye, which I’d always done before the surgery. You did a fantastic job and my recovery was quite speedy. Many thanks J Simpson
Dear Mr Shenoy A very big thank you for making me feel so comfortable, calm and relaxed during my cataract surgery. I was really petrified but you helped me all the way through my surgery, from initial consultation to assessment and finally the completion of surgery on both eyes. Kind regards Yasmin
Dear Dr Shenoy, We cannot thank you enough for the amazing care you and your team have given Clara May. You have been patient and informative the whole way though. Thanks to you Clara May will now have a new lease of life and for that there can never be enough thank you's! We'll get her to look you up when she is a Cardiothoracic Surgeon!
