This was or could have been a very anxious time for me.
However I can only say, that not only was it a good experience but an excellently carried out procedure.
Spamedica has a completely new style and competent way of making you feel better "How good health care should be."
I turned up for my appointment early, the receptionist took my details and asked me to sit and wait to be called.
I waited for nearly an hour with no update.
I was called through to the nurse and she did her tasks 5hen asked me to sit while the pellet in my eye dilated my eye.
After about an hour sitting there the consultant came and told us they were running late, this was very much appreciated.
I was called through to another room before theatre and everything was explained thoroughly again this was appreciated.
The surgeon came through and told me what he expected of me ,obviously no moving on the bed.
I stayed completely still and as the surgery went on he explained every step.
I felt completely relaxed and the surgery went well.
Thank you to the team who were lovely, if I need treatment again I wouldn't hesitate to use you again.
Polite staff system regarding looking after patients.
Cleanliness of clinic also which is expected.
All the staff there are heros and deserve medals for the way they make you feel at home when you arrive for treatment well done.
Great experience, friendly staff, excellent service. One more eye to go
The facilities and staff are very good. the post-operation is very bad. there is conflicting information when the nurse after the operation tells you to book an appointment to be seen after 4 weeks. But then, when you call the centre you get told to go to specsavers. Not only there is misinformation, but after you have your first eye done, then you will need to get your other eye done. And going through Specsavers again to be referred back to the same place that already got all your records it is a total waste and inefficient way of treating patients.
A very patient friendly enviroment from all members of staff. I felt so valued that I miss coming back again.
The surgery was so smooth and the results overwhemingly briiliant.
I can recommend Spa without hesitation. Keop up the excellent vibe and Thank you very much for the hard work
Most wonderful experience at SpaMedica at St Caths Hospital for Cataract surgery. From start to finish so impressed by the level of care & service. Staff outstanding and caring & welcoming. Put at ease instantly! Would highly recommend.
FANTASTIC CENTRE, VERY NICE PEOPLE, DOCTORS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. HAD CATARACT SURGERY, WAITED 6 YEARS, FOR SECOND ONE BUT OPTITIONSON'S WOULDN'T REFER ME, THEN I HAD A LOCUM AND SHE PUT ME THROUGH FOR SECOND EYE. WHICH I GOT SENT TO SPAMEDICA, YOU ARE AMAZING.
The actual experience was very good. All staff were very friendly, professional and polite.
It was my second eye and this time a lot more liquid was used but I regarded that as a safety measure having had eye surgery many years ago
I did wait a long time for this cataract to be done but this was not the fault of Spa medica.
Arrived at Spa Medica at 08.20 for my right eye cataract operation.
The staff were very friendly and explained what would happen during the morning. Q who was the consultant doing the procedure was excellent explained what was happening also very caring. Thank you all. Lynn
The only area which did not impress me was the pre-op. There was too much waiting in the corridor between seeing various people and having the tests. Took 3 hours rather than one.
The actual surgery was very quick and very little hanging around. Wonderfully slick and polished routine.
All staff considerate, taking as much time as required. Excellent.
My Experience with Spamedica, was a reassuring experience in itself from start to finish my procedure for my cataract with Spamedica was one of my best, explained details of procedure and the staff andSurgeon put me at my ease from start to finish absolutely Brilliant 👏 I would highly recommend Spamedica for any Cataract Surgery, from my experience there one of the best, Thank you so much for your Expertise Services.

From my first pre op appointment to the surgery 3 days ago I can honestly say that the whole experience was so much better than when I had my first cataract surgery at a busy NHS hospital. The staff were without exception friendly, helpful and informative. The procedure was quick and painless and my sight is already improving rapidly with minimal discomfort. I’m grateful to my opticians recommendation to SpaMedica.
Spa Medica - Bolton excellent service both times would highly recommend them the teams on both occasions where marvellous put you at ease from the welcome arrival surgery to discharge and the wait time for the surgery was under four weeks.
I want to thank the team that did my cataract for being so nice and friendly and making me feel at ease.
I had my procedure today (12/5/26 for cataract, I attended spa medica, dalston, was petrified of what I was about to face, as soon as I walked through the door I had so much support and attention from everyone, the 2 doctors relayed everything to me as I went through the treatment, I cannot thank them enough for the warmth and kindness they had for me, I certainly won’t be afraid when I have to have the other eye done, top service and very friendly staff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had excellent care while having cataract surgery.
All the staff are very caring and helpful.
I will be going for my second surgery in a few weeks
I can fully recommend Spamedica
