I had my cataract surgery yesterday and was extremely anxious about it. I needn't have worried. Spamedica Watford were brilliant every step of the way from the friendly reception to the amazing surgeon who seemed like he was finished in 5 minutes!! Many thanks to all the team!

Review titled Very caring and organised
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Pat Shepherd - Posted on 22 March 2024
In spite of a huge delay where I was waiting 3 hours to go in and was a gibbering wreck both before and afterwards, the staff were just amazing. They didn't treat me like I was stupid for being so scared but actually cared how I felt. I broke the rules by going to get a drink when I had eye drops in and was told off, firmly but with great good humour which absolutely took away the sting but made me realise it was important. I cannot thank all the staff enough and hope that I am not such a wreck for my second operation or such trouble with my need for something to drink (:

Review titled Disappointing
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 April 2024
All the Departments were ok except Surgery itself. Surgeon introduced himself and I was led to theatre, asked to lie on a couch, nothing was explained as to how the op would be done . I lied down something was put over my face and I felt water coming down the side of my face. Surgery was done quickly. No one in the theatre reassured me. All I could hear was staff talking amongst themselves about their shifts and work stuff. It almost felt like I was object and they dealt with whatever they had to do. It was like pit stop on a racing track. The whole experience left me traumatised. I have decided not to come back to Spa Medica for my other eye surgery.

I was surprised at the welcome I received walking through the door. It made me feel relaxed. Procedure went smoothly and there was always someone checking on you. It was so quick to receive an appointment. Both eyes completed in 10 weeks.

Review titled My experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Kathleen Edith Berry - Posted on 23 March 2024
My treatment at SpaMedica Watford was a truly awful experience. I was not in any way prepared in advance for what the procedure involved. During the operation I was in such severe pain that it felt almost unbearable. I was not shown proper care during this treatment but instead the staff carried out their tasks in a fashion that felt brutal and uncaring. I do not understand why there was such a lack of care shown. I was left in a state of shock. As I try to process what has happened, I worry that I may in fact been traumatised by the overall experience. This is my experience. On climbing onto the operating table, a male nurse placed a mask over my face. The surgeon stepped forward and standing by side, he proceeded to clamp my upper right eye lid tightly against the bone of my eye socket and wedged it there, causing me excruciating pain and discomfort, to the point that it became unbearable. Then it felt as if a tap had been turned on, as water flooded my eye continuously until his work was completed. It felt as if a hose pipe had been attached to a tap and the tap turned full on. At no point was any of this explained to me. Once the surgeon had finished, the nurse who had put the mask on my face stepped forward and quite simply, literally ripped the mask off my face. It was an horrendous experience. I felt violated. I quite expected to see the skin on the right side of my face removed where the mask had been placed and then pulled off. Then another nurse stepped forward. She came to wipe down my face from the drops etc. But it was not done gently or even kindly, but heavy-handedly. I saw no compassion, no kindness nothing that I would associate within a caring community. It appeared that the mentality was, just employed to do a job, rather than fulfilling a vocation of care.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by William - Posted on 25 May 2024
I am absolutely happy with everything that occurred - the way both my eyes were transformed - every stage was well managed by friendly and professional teams from reception through to final guidance on how to keep my new eyes healthy. This is what patient care is all about - keep up the good work.
