I was very impressed with my whole experience. Mr Scala’s approach was both warm and friendly. He put my mind at ease from my first assessment. He was thorough and communicative throughout my initial examination. By its very nature an eye operation can be unnerving. Again mr Scala’s approach and manner put me at my ease. There was music on in the background which gave my mind something to focus on. Throughout the operation mr Scala spoke to me explaining what was going on and what he was about to do. The nursing staff both pre and post op were superb. Mr Scala’s PA again was first class. Communication was warm, friendly, very helpful and professional. The outcome of my eye operation was very successful. Despite mr Scala being someone I hope I never have to see again 😊, I cannot praise him and his Team more highly.

I recently underwent eye surgery under the care of Dr. Scala, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-up, Dr. Scala and the entire team made me feel comfortable, well-informed, and confident throughout the process. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I experienced minimal discomfort afterward. The care and attention to detail Dr. Scala provided truly made all the difference in my recovery. I am now experiencing, such as clearer vision and don’t wear glasses anymore . I’m grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my daily life. I highly recommend Dr. Scala to anyone seeking expert care for their eye health. The professionalism, expertise, and compassion shown throughout my treatment were exceptional. Thank you, Dr.. Scala, for giving me the gift of better vision! Regards Dr Hassan A

After researching extensively to find the best Retina surgeon in the UK to treat my floaters. Mr Scala was shortlisted to number one position. There was no one at number two. While other surgeons are travelling the world on conferences for most of the year. Mr Scala is helping his patients practically everyday. His professionalism, personality, enthusiasm and quality focus is definitely unique. I don’t know where he gets all this energy from. He is supported by a great team in Karen and Maddie. They both go out of their way to support you and are always available 24/7. I can say that i was not nervous or concerned with the abilities of Mr Scala. All my floaters have gone. My vision is clear, free from headaches and I am so happy I did this surgery. Everyone at the Private Patient Centre have been wonderful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Scala if you need Retina surgeon. With great respect and appreciation. Thank you for always being there for me Mr Scala.

I did a lot of research before I met Mr Scala 12m ago and I have been treated privately by him for routine eye surgery. He has also treated me for an unexpected macular oedema. I recall vividly waiting to see Mr Scala at MREH, feeling petrified that something serious was wrong with my eye. Mr Scala clearly had a full list of patients that day but he responded with care and compassion, knowing my previous medical history. He achieves the ideal balance with his care for the patient and professionalism. He explains everything clearly and in a manner that makes you feel at ease. I still have treatment to be carried out on my eye and would not allow any other surgeon to undertake procedures on my eyes, other than Mr Scala. My research paid dividends and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

In June Mr Dhawahir-Scala carried out a procedure to resolve cystoid macular oedema in my right eye. I felt quite at ease during the procedure as I have complete trust in Mr Dhawahir-Scala.

I have seen Mr Scala and his team as a NHS previously so when I was advised to get a private check up on my retina with a suspected PVD I had no hesitation in asking Mr Scala to do the examination. I felt reassured, listened to and in my opinion Mr Scala is a world class eye specialist so I could not be in better hands.

Mr Felipe E Dhawahir-Scala put me at ease as soon as we met - it was as if we were old friends. I had been referred by another eminent eye professional and was nervous as to whether Mr Felipe E Dhawahir-Scala deemed I'd need surgery. His experience, professionalism & expertise came to the fore immediately. He gave me very good advice, fully explained this thoughts and what he'd feed back to the other professional. I so appreciate Mr Felipe E Dhawahir-Scala's wisdom and feel so very much better for having seen him. I know he'll be there if I need him and that makes all the difference to being able to get on with one's life. Thank You Felipe!
