I recently had a cataract operation on both eyes by Mr Panthagani in Leicester. I wasn't particularly looking forward to the proceedure but throughout the operation I felt comfortable and I was advised at all times what was happening. This was very reassuring. Now it has been five weeks since the operation, I am extremely happy with the result. Very many thanks to the skill and care given. Robert.

Brilliant experience, Mr Panthagani was very thorough and explained everything as we went along. He liaised with my Optician to ensure that the lenses I had put in were the correct prescription. The Op itself was painless if a little odd (to me) and the care I received second to none. My sight was restored the next morning and one week later is 20/20. I am absolutely delighted

Had 2 cataract surgeries by Mr Panthagani at glendonwood hospital. Initially i was anxious about having this surgery but i was put at ease after having a consultation with Mr Panthagani . His manner is calm and reassuring , he answered all my questions in a manner i could understand. He told me the predicated outcome of both surgeries and what to expect . The day of surgery went smoothly . I felt safe and cared for by the team . The environment was clean and friendly . I found the whole experience positive. After care was followed up by nurse and Mr Panthagani and contact numbers given for worries or concerns. I could not fault the care given to me by Mr Panthagani. I can now return to driving and reading thanks to the care provided by him and his excellent team . Lynda mccardie

I was very fortunate to be referred to Mr Panthagani.His friendly professional manner put me as ease immediately. He answered all my questions and explained every detail of the procedure. I felt so confident in Mr Panthagani's care that I decided to have both cataracts removed at the same time. It is now 12 days since my operation and I am delighted with the result and I would be happy to recommend Mr Panthagani and his team. They are a very caring group.

Two of my good friends recommended Mr Panthagani to me after they had cataract surgery. I was therefore pleased when I received an appointment with him for my cataract surgery. As soon as I met Mr Panthagani I knew I was in very safe hands. After very careful examination of my eyes he explained clearly and carefully what result I could realistically expect. My first cataract surgery was carried out three weeks ago and his whole team were all extremely professional. I look forward to having my eyes tested in a couple of weeks and also to my other cataract being dealt with. Thankyou to you and your team for your patience and kindness to me.

The whole experience was stress free. Mr Panthagani was friendly, reassuring and professional. He answered all my questions and was very clear in explaining how it all works and what he will do. The operation itself was quick and pain free. He informed me when he was going to do something and made me feel calm and comfortable . It was all over very quickly and recovery has been amazing. I will never forget picking up my lipstick and being able to read the name of the colour on the end. It has really changed my life for the better and would recommend anyone going ahead with the treatment too.

Mr. Panthagani was professional, friendly and informative throughout both of my cataract surgeries. He maintained a re-assuring presence during the procedures and demonstrated a caring and engaging attitude in the follow-up telephone consultations. I am more than happy with the outcomes of both surgeries having worn intrusive spectacles since age 7. New prescription should be smaller and lighter. Highly commended and I would not hesitate to consult him again in the future.

I was extreme happy with the cataract operations I had on both my eyes that Mr Panthagani performed. He kept me fully informed at all times, before, during the procedure and after. Easy to talk to, polite and reassuring at all times. Happy with the outcomes of both ops and the improvement to my sight.

My experience of having both cataracts treated by Jesse Panthagani has been very positive. JP is warm, friendly and reassuring, and professional. Due to my short-sightedness and astigmatism, he recommended a specific lens, which has worked well: my vision today is better than it has ever been (I started wearing glasses at about age 4, so tbh I can't remember how good or bad it was then!), but the post-op improvement has been amazing. The procedure was quick and painless. I am very grateful to Mr Panthagani (and his team - my thanks to all involved) and I can recommend him without reservation.

I had two cataract operations carried out by Mr Panthagani. He explained everything fully, outlining honestly and professionally all of the issues that can arise with this type of surgery. He was reassuring and caring during both operations, and was equally conscientious in follow up appointments. Both operations have been a great success without any issues. I would recommend him highly to anyone considering this type of surgery. You are very much in safe hands!
