Kam Balaggan Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon Bewertungen 556

I had some quite complex eye surgery done recently, following a not very satisfactory NHS experience. Kam Balaggan, who had been recommended by a neighbour, was very friendly, professional and thorough – as were the other support staff involved. I was kept well informed throughout and the operation went smoothly. Kam did a superb job and I would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone needing a highly qualified and skilled surgeon.

From start to finish I had fabulous service - I have worn glasses for 51 years and can now see the wonderful colours of autumn and read well with no glasses.it is still early days but so pleased with the results and personal service from Mr Balaggan

Mr Balaggan explained exactly what was going to happen during the operation and assured me it would be pain free this made me feel relaxed and confident that all would be well.

Mr Ballagan was extremely professional at all stages of the patient journey to surgery.
I felt reassured and confident in his skill and expertise before the operation. The result was a very successful cataract operation.

Macular hole developed, previously had detached retinas due to being very short sighted (cataracts done so now barely need glasses). Also had horrendous floaters!! Mr Balaggan not only repaired the hole to a miraculous level he improved the earlier detachment repair. All floaters gone!!! Six weeks later my repaired eye, albeit still healing, is already up to driving standard! Debbie, his secretary, is lovely and highly efficient. A credit to him.

I had cataract surgery in 2012. Over the last few years the sight in my right eye has gradually deteriorated to the point where my vision was just a blur.. After several consultations with the NhS I I was informed that the implanted lens had opacified and would need to be removed and replaced. This would not be straightforward as I had also had laser YAG surgery in this eye. Two of my friends recommended Mr Balaggan to me. At my consultation he instantly put me at ease with his quiet, calm approach. He fully explained the options available to me and I opted to have the surgery to replace the faulty lens. I was very confident that the operation would be a success. Mr Balaggan and all of his team were extremely professional from the day of my consultion to my discharge day. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend this outstanding surgeon to anybody with eye problems.

A very pleasant and highly competent ophthalmologist who is revered throughout the country,it seems.
Several fellow patients had travelled hundreds of miles to use him.
I am very lucky he is only about five miles away for me.
It is early days yet but I'm reading practically everything now very easily. Not using glasses at all. Whoop!

My optician knew that I was going to do some research to decide who to go to for my cataract surgery and she recommended Mr Balaggan as she had been following his work for some years. After looking at his website I decided to make an appointment and met with Mr Balaggan, who is a lovely gentleman. After enquiring about my lifestyle and what I hoped to get out of the surgery he patiently went through the different options with me and I decided to go for the latest premium IOLs. Mr Balaggan has now performed the cataract surgery on both of my eyes and I have great distance vision and can also read the smallest print on ordnance survey maps. Having worn distance glasses/contact lenses since the age of 14 and reading glasses/lenses for the last 20 years it’s absolutely fantastic at nearly 63 to be able to pursue all of my hobbies without the need for glasses or contact lenses. I would absolutely recommend Mr Balaggan and his team.

I was told that I had virtually lost the sight in one eye, and it couldn’t be improved at all. I was very lucky that I was referred to Mr Balaggan, and couldn’t have wished for a better surgeon. Mr Balaggan is very easy to talk to, he put my needs as priority. Mr Balaggan first repaired my detached retina, and later I had cataract surgery on both eyes. I now have amazing vision, I no longer need to wear glasses - I can highly recommend Mr Balaggan and his team.

I have just had the cataracts in both eyes treated, like most people I was not looking forward to this. But the process was so much better than I expected mainly because Mr Balaggan was someone I felt I could trust. The end result has been excellent.

My sister was referred by our optician in due to severe short sightedness, being close to not being able to drive. The service and care received has been first class. Every communication with Mr Balaggan and Debbie his secretary has been brilliant. The surgery has been more successful than we ever imagined, nothing short of miraculous!

I was referred to Kam by Ed Lyons, the service provided has been beyond expectation. Whilst I wasn't nervous at all I did expect some pain however the procedure has been totally painless and my sight has been better than 20/20 vision. He really is a miracle worker.

I recently had surgery for cataracts on both eyes by Mr Balaggan himself and his staff were excellent kept informed all the the way through my procedure my eyes are a 1000 times better now, I would recommend to my family & friends if you needed eye surgery Mr balaggan is the one to see

I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes performed by Mr Balaggan. Even before I saw him I was reassured by my optician saying "he's excellent" - which he is. At my initial consultation he explained the procedure and answered my questions. During both procedures he was very calm, patient and encouraging. I recommend him unreservedly.

I have recently had both cataracts done with Mr Balaggan and I am extremely pleased with the results. My vision is now 20/20 and I no longer require glasses. Mr Balaggan was very professional and reassuring, I was very nervous about the procedure but it was clear I was in very capable hands.

From my first consultation, throughout the cataract removal procedure and at the final consultation Mr Balaggan was calmly reassuring and positive.
He always explained everything in great detail, listened to my concerns and answered all of my queries fully, leading to a successful outcome.

Mr Balaggan is an excellent advocate for his chosen profession.

Showing genuine care and compassion throughout a difficult time.
From the initial consultation, through the operation and the after care have been nothing short of exceptional.
He is a true gentleman with excellent people skills to allay any concerns that one may have.
He is patient, kind and courteous throughout the whole process. Calming fears and concerns with genuine knowledge and care.
My husband’s procedure, an Epiretinal Membrane with additional retina damage was successfully carried out at Spires Little Aston.
Mr Balaggan’s supporting staff there are also excellent, again showing genuine care and compassion throughout.
There is no pressure or rush at any time just genuine care and compassion throughout helping one to make the correct choice for you.
We would not hesitate to recommend Mr Balaggan and his team to all facing similar, difficult decisions with eye problems.

Mr Balaggan carried out a vitrectomy, removed a cataract and put a lense in at the same time. It was quite a complex surgery. He was very professional and demonstrated his fantastic skills as a surgeon. It was very successful and I now have restored vision. I can highly recommend Mr Balaggan as a surgeon

Mr Balaggan continues to be a Wizard!

From my first consultation back in June 24, performing surgery on a fully developed Macula Hole to save my sight, followed by Cataract surgery in April 25 and most recently (yesterday) YAG Laser Treatment.

I can only highlight my previous review on 7th May 25, a true gentleman, highly professional, attentive, calm, kind and most importantly to me the confidence and trust I have on his ability as an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend Mr Balaggan.

The team at The Spires as always amazing!

Not forgetting Debbie (Secretary) the backbone who keeps the admin wheel running so well.

A wonderful experience, Kam is very professional and it was such a real positive result , feel so lucky to have been recommended to this wonderful surgeon, from start to finish could not have felt in better hands, including the staff, Matilda, Sue and Vicky. Many thanks.
