Testimonials
Dr J Carr is a pro. I was happy that Optical Express provided such a great surgeon. I felt confident that he was perfect for the job and I was right. I was calm all throughout the procedure and he really helps you. I am grateful that he persevered when we couldn’t get suction for the intralase flap creation. I was keen to get it over and done with and did not fancy having to go in on another day. So i thank God that worked. Perfect balance between showing interest in you and keeping focused on what he is doing. He also told me that he spend time in Atlanta Georgia in the USA which shows in his approach. I loved him and highly recommend him. Top surgeon. Book him if you can. Very happy with the result!
Had my surgery yesterday with Jonathan at Optical Express in Kingston and was made to feel at ease and had 100% confidence in him and his team!He explained the procedure thoroughly before hand. During the procedure he was calm and talked about things we both had in common as well as informing me of what was happening.I couldn’t have wished to be in better hands!Great results! Thanks Jonathan!
Jonathan Carr is a brilliant/amazing/fantastic eye surgeon. Not only is he brilliant with eyes but also with people. Prior to the treatment, he answers any of your concerning questions with a smile and clearly explains the procedure he will carry out on your eyes. During the actual treatment, he explains exactly what’s happening and what’s about to happen so there are no surprises. He explains exactly when he wants you to stay calm and stay still while the laser is doing its job. I was so calm that we ended up having a small conversation whilst I was having the treatment and before I knew it, it was over. Long story short – just relax, once of the best possible eye surgeons is treating you.
Very poor standard of care. After my first treatment I still had a remaining refractive error and was told repeatedly at all of my follow up appointments that my vision was not stable enough to have my next treatment. Optical express also refused to provide me with contact lenses prior to my second treatment which I had been assured was part of their standard care if the treatment was not entirely successful. Quite frankly to me the Harley Street branch seemed like a factory. Furthermore follow up care was clearly not a priority as there was no financial gain.I was fortunate enough following this experience to have a second opinion from Mr Pillai at Advanced Vision Care who did my follow up treatment straight away and now my vision is perfect.
Had my surgery done at the Harley Street clinic yesterday (22 June 2012). Amazing surgeon, put me at ease. Too early to recommend doing surgery, but if you’re going ahead, book Jonathan Carr (not to say other surgeons aren’t good, but I would definitely recommend him. I also mentioned about the scene in final destination 5, he hasn’t watched it but kept me comfortable and relaxed. He explained the whole procedure to me beforehand, and talked me through the surgery. Also spoke to me throughout the whole surgery, and before I knew it, it was over. What a legend!
