"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Suhair Twaij, Consultant Ophthalmologist with a subspecialist interest in adult and paediatric eye care. She provided exceptional care during my consultation and examination, demonstrating great expertise, patience, and attention to detail. She explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and compassionate approach truly stand out, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding ophthalmology care for both adults and children. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rafic Antonios for the exceptional care and expertise he provided during my eye surgery. From the very first consultation through the surgery and follow-up appointments, he demonstrated remarkable professionalism, compassion, and dedication. He took the time to explain the procedure clearly, addressed all my concerns with patience, and ensured I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. His skill and precision during the surgery were evident, and the results have truly exceeded my expectations. The overall experience at the hospital was equally outstanding. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and highly organized, creating a calm and reassuring environment. The facilities were clean, modern, and efficiently managed, reflecting a high standard of care and commitment to patient wellbeing. I am deeply grateful for the excellent treatment I received and would highly recommend this hospital—especially Dr. Suhair Twaij and Dr. Rafiq Anthonys—to anyone seeking expert eye care and surgery. Their professionalism and genuine care make a meaningful difference in their patients’ lives."

"I had my eye surgery at Moorfields and I’m very thankful for the experience. I was quite hesitant at the beginning, but Hala Asfour was truly exceptional. She was patient, caring, and very supportive. Her reassurance and professionalism made a big difference and helped me feel comfortable throughout the process. I would also like to sincerely thank Dr. Osama Jleidi for his experience and calm approach. He explained everything clearly and made me feel confident and at ease before and during the surgery. Many thanks as well to the nurses Marife and Rami for their kindness and support. Overall, a very positive experience with a wonderful team."

"Excellent experience as always. Dr. Fahad is very welcoming, professional, and explains everything clearly with genuine care. Waleed from administration is extremely helpful and supportive, making the whole process smooth. Nurse Cheryl is kind, attentive, and very thorough in her explanations. I’ve known this hospital for over 20 years and have never had an unpleasant experience. Highly recommended."

"My recent visit to Moorfields Hospital in Healthcare City, Dubai was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the professionalism, warmth, and expertise of the entire team stood out.Every eyesight test was carried out with precision, care, and clear communication by highly qualified and genuinely polite staff. These tests were part of an evaluation to determine my eligibility for vision‑correction surgery, and the process was seamless from start to finish. The highlight of my experience was my consultation with Dr. Miguel. After thoroughly reviewing all test results, he concluded that I do not currently need surgery — and what impressed me most was the honesty behind that decision. Instead of recommending a procedure I didn’t need, he took the time to understand my motivations, explain the medical reasoning in detail, and reassure me from a patient‑first perspective.It was clear that Dr. Miguel’s priority is improving patients’ everyday lives, not simply performing another surgery. That level of integrity is rare and deeply appreciated. Overall, Moorfields Hospital delivers world‑class care, supported by skilled professionals who truly put patients first. I highly recommend this hospital — and especially Dr. Miguel — to anyone in Dubai or anywhere in the world seeking trustworthy, expert eye care."

"I recently completed surgeries for both of my eyes, and the entire process turned out to be surprisingly hassle-free and stress-free—thanks to the wonderful team at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai -DHCC I was under the care of Dr. Miguel Morcillo, who was excellent at explaining my condition, the procedure, and the expected results well before the surgery. His clear communication and reassuring approach made me feel confident and comfortable. The surgery booking and insurance team also deserves appreciation for making the administrative process seamless and efficient. My pre-operative tests were conducted by Dr. Elias Georges. It was a pleasant experience going through the different diagnostic machines, and everything was handled smoothly and professionally. On the day of surgery, Dr. Miguel met with us again and explained the procedure in simple, easy-to-understand language without any medical jargon. He patiently listened to our concerns and addressed them, which was very reassuring. I was prepared for surgery by the lovely nurse Daisy, who was both kind and highly professional. The OT staff—Umeir, Jesse, and Rami—were also excellent and ensured that I was comfortable at all times. The surgery itself lasted less than 15 minutes. During the procedure, Dr. Miguel kept talking me through each step, letting me know what was happening next, which helped keep me calm throughout. After the surgery, I was taken care of by the wonderful nurse Nilda, who clearly explained all the post-surgery care instructions, prescriptions, and dosage details. A big thank you to all the staff members I interacted with—including those whose names I may have missed—for making this entire experience smooth, comfortable, and reassuring."
