Patient Testimonials:
"First class service from Dr Patel. He was patient, very understanding, and gave excellent advice in a simple format. Very happy with the service and advice" -September 2026
"I had cataract surgery five weeks ago I was very nervous as I had a complicated eye condition with dense cataracts, stigmatism and scarring from LASIK surgery. Mr Patel took my case and fitted PureSee IOL EDOF lenses. I now have 20 20 vision and Mr Patel and the whole team at Nuffield Norton including Anaesthetist were very professional and very sympathetic to my situation. Mr Patel is exceptional with complex eye conditions. I would recommend him strongly" - June 2026"I had cataract surgery with tri-focal lens implants with Mr Trushar Patel. He is friendly, professional and very approachable to ask any questions. It was definitely worth investing in these lenses; my eyesight is greatly improved and I don't need glasses at all. Everything was done to a high standard and the team at Nuffield Stockton were fantastic. Thank you. Highly recommended!" - June 2026
