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.

Amazing! I cannot fault the care I have recieved from Mr Panthagani and his team. From the intial consultation, which provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision, through to the surgery and aftercare, the profesionalism, high quality service and care I recieved was truely excellent. Thankyou.

I would highly recommend Mr Panthagani and his team following my recent successful cataract surgery. From the first consultation I was treated with extreme care and professionalism. All options were explained thoroughly and extensive tests undertaken to achieve the best possible outcome for me.

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Panthagani during my cataract surgery experience. After conducting extensive research, I chose to approach Dr. Panthagani for cataract surgery in both of my eyes, and I am so grateful that I did. The consultation prior to my surgery in May was not only reassuring but incredibly detailed. Dr. Panthagani took the time to thoroughly explain my astigmatism and the various options available to me. I left that initial consultation feeling relaxed and confident, knowing that I was in the hands of an extremely professional surgeon who is also a genuinely caring and kind individual. His dedication to ensuring I understood the procedure and the post-operative healing process truly set my mind at ease. The surgeries themselves were remarkable—both completely pain-free and taking only about 20 minutes each. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and efficient the entire process was, with the second operation just a week later. I would also like to commend Dr. Panthagani’s outstanding team at Glendon Wood Hospital in Northampton. Their professionalism, kindness, and even a touch of humour helped to ease my nerves significantly and had a remarkable effect on lowering my blood pressure! It is evident that they share Dr. Panthagani’s commitment to providing compassionate care. My recovery has been flawless, with minimal discomfort—particularly in managing the eye drops four times a day, washing my eyes as instructed, and using the eye pads for sleep at night. During my final consultation with Dr. Panthagani on May 22nd, I was pleased to hear that my healing process is progressing well, and I was encouraged to continue seeing my optician. I feel incredibly fortunate to live in the UK, where we have access to some of the best surgeons and doctors in the world, who are highly trained and dedicated to their craft. What truly sets Dr. Panthagani and his team apart is their exceptional communication, reassurance, and genuine care for patients before, during, and after procedures. Their humanity, kindness, and unwavering commitment to excellence make a remarkable difference in the patient experience. In summary, Dr. Panthagani is not only a truly gifted surgeon but also a compassionate individual who embodies the very best of medical care. I cannot thank him enough for the positive impact he has had on my life. Joe Rainert

I would highly recommend Mr. Panthagani for eye surgery and a follow up double cataract removal. He makes sure that he explains everything in fine detail about your eyes and what will happen during surgery. He puts you at ease and in follow up consultations spends time talking through the procedure and what is next. He has a good patient manner who listens and understands. I can’t thank him enough for the care and compassion that he has shown towards my father.

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.

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!

My experience was excellent from the first time I met Mr Panthagani through to my follow up after my cataract operation. Mr Panthagani explained very well what was needed to improve my eye sight and was sensitive and kind. I felt completely at ease during the procedure and I am extremely pleased with the result

I wanted to follow up on my Feb 2025 Cataract surgery with feedback for consultant Ophthalmologist Mr Jesse Panthagani and his team at the Ramsay Glendon Wood hospital. After researching various private hospitals and local Ophthalmology consultants, I was impressed by Mr Panthagani’s experiences, patient reviews and qualifications so went ahead and contacted my insurance provider Aviva and they arrange an initial consultation. From start to finish the Ramsay Glendon Wood facilities and its staff were excellent and this combined with Jesse’s, expertise and through preparation to my cataract diagnosis this gave me great confidence that the final outcome would be a success. Having had a previous cataract surgery on my left eye some years before and additional complications which needed consideration prior to surgery e.g., I had LASIK and Vitrectomy surgery which Jesse needed to factor in to my new cataract lens prescription. To address these previous challenges Jesse asked me if it was possible to provided previous prescriptions dating back 10y to provide snapshots of my vision before and after these events. I simply contacted my optician and they provided this information. Jesse took time and assessed my vision history, then discussed his findings, the direction and approach he wanted to take for the new lens and cataract surgery. I was happy to take Jesse’s advice, and recommendations. Jesse’s surgical team were top draw and it was clear to me they had all worked together for some time and the procedure went ahead with what can only be described as military precision. After 24 hours of the new lens being fitted my vision was already excellent and after two weeks i am very pleased with the outcome. I had an eye test today and could read the smallest letters on the test chart. The prescription and results we were aiming for and that Jesse had discussed with me two weeks before the operation matched exactly. All that’s left to say is thank you Jesse and the Ramsay Glendon Wood team for what can only be described as excellent care and the final results have exceeded my initial expectations. Thank you Justin

I thoroughly recommend Jesse Panthagani if you are considering eye surgery. He carried out thorough investigations, considered my views at all times, and was honest about the possible outcomes. I felt he cared that I got the best sight for my needs and lifestyle. I had refractive lens exchange surgery in both eyes and the result has been transformational. It has restored my confidence and the ability to do things I had stopped doing. The difference and improvement in my vision are nothing short of amazing. Jesse Panthagani has a confident and calming influence, which means the surgeries were as stress-free as possible.

Having had cataract surgery a week ago I am very happy with the result. My vision is so much better. It is miraculous. Throughout the treatment I received patient,careful explanations of what would happen and the possible outcome. I certainly was not disappointed. I am very grateful for the way the whole procedure was performed.
