Dear Mr Sundaram, I feel I could not have received better care having undergone completely pain free and comfortable surgery. Six weeks on from the operations I now only need to wear glasses for very close work, being able to watch TV, reading the subtitles without glasses. Feeling so happy with the outcome. I am most grateful that I was given the opportunity to have the surgery.

I had a cataract operation on my right eye by Mr Venki Sundaram. I am very pleased to say that the operation was a wonderful success. Now 6 weeks later, my eyesight is near perfect. In the beginning I was extremely nervous having heard rumours of peoples’ experiences with this type of operation. I can only say that in my experience everything was a comfortable experience which I am pleased to say was a wonderful success. My sincere thanks and gratitude to the staff at Pinehill Hospital and most of all to Mr Sundaram with whom I would have no hesitation to have him perform the operation on my other eye should it become necessary in the future.
RM, Oct 2017

 

Dear Mr Sundaram, thank you so very much for the procedures you carried out for me concerning my eyes.

Thank you for patience and professionalism throughout the time I spent at Pinehill Hospital.

Dear Mr Sundaram, just a few lines to express my gratitude for the excellent service I received during my two cataract procedures. Everyone concerned was terrific. I would have no qualms recommending Pinehill Hospital and the service to my friends and relatives.
MN, Oct 2017

 

I am writing to advise you of how pleased I was with the care that I received during my recent cataract operation. At my initial consultation, Mr Sundaram immediately put my mind at rest concerning the procedure. This was very important as I was very nervous about what to expect. When I was admitted to Spire Harpenden for the procedure, Mr Sundaram made sure that I was fully aware of what was happening at each stage. Mr Sundaram telephoned me at home after the treatment to ensure that everything was well. I appreciated this unexpected action. I would recommend Mr Sundaram to anyone considering having eye treatment.
JL, Sep 2017

 

Dr Mr Sundaram, I felt I must write to express my thanks for the treatment I received at Pinehill Hospital. From the admin staff, to reception both upstairs and down, to the nursing staff both on the ward and in theatre and lastly yourself. I am very pleased with the outcome of my two cataract operations and with the speed it was carried out. I would not hesitate in recommending Pinehill to anyone who asked. Thank you all once again, particularly you and your expertise.
BT, Sep 2017

 

I recently had cataracts removed from both my eyes at the Pinehill Hospital under the care of Mr Sundaram. At the consultation I had with Mr Sundaram prior to the operations he was courteous and most helpful in explaining to me the proposed procedures. He was able to answer all my questions and gave me the confidence to decide to go ahead with the surgery. The staff at Pinehill were friendly and professional. I was seen promptly at each appointment and there was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the hospital. It is now 4 weeks since my final surgery and I had my last consultation with Mr Sundara, last week when he informed me that the two procedures had been successful. I’m so pleased that I had the cataracts removed and delighted with the improvement it has made to my sight.
MD, Aug 2017

 

Dear Mr Sundaram, I am writing to thank you and your team for the treatment I received during the two cataract operations I had this year - my sight is restored to a most remarkable degree, and I delight in the brilliance of the world about me. I was told in detail what would happen to me, and would therefore follow the procedure calmly, and everyone was helpful and efficient in a clean and orderly environment. There was no nervousness approaching my second event! Thank you all.

Dear Mr Sundaram, thank you so much for the swift and efficient way you treated my cataracts. There operations have given me such good sight especially as my short sight has also been corrected. My one regret is not coming to you sooner.
MH, June 2017

 

Dear Mr Sundaram, from my first meeting with you, you have made me completely comfortable both with what was happening and regarding the procedure itself. You explained everything clearly and in understandable terms. The procedure went exactly as you had explained and I was well looked after. Having just had my check-up I am pleased that my vision is now perfect, the thumbprint type disturbance I was experiencing has gone and I can now read without my glasses and watch TV in bed without waking up to find my glasses askew and in danger of damage. Thank you for your help and for making the whole experience as easy as it was.

I have been a patient of Mr Venki Sundaram at Pinehill Hospital where he carried out eye surgery for the removal of cataracts in both my eyes. The initial consultation was very informative and explained thoroughly what would happen when the surgery took place.

Both eyes have had cataracts removed successfully.

I write to thank you so very much for carrying out the cataract surgery on both of my eyes. The results have been amazing, with a huge improvement in my vision and now without the need for spectacles for normal sight – I have been wearing spectacles for 45 years and the effect is so liberating as I no longer have to wear spectacles to see things clearly; in fact my vision is far, far better now without spectacles than it was before with them!
