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.

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

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.

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.

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.
