"On Thursday 21 August 2025 I had my first right eye cataract op performed by Dr Gavin Galloway. I would like to HIGHLY COMMEND Life Peninsula Eye Hospital on their professional and caring treatment towards their patients, right from the admission process through to the pre-op and post-op care. I am due to have the left eye cataract op on 28 August 2025 and feel completely relaxed about the procedure. Mary Banks"
"I had cataracts removed from both eyes and on both visits to the Peninsula Eye Hospital my experience was great. The check-in at reception was fast and efficient, the treatment by the nurses was friendly and warm, and I was made to feel very welcome during my time there."
