""It was indeed a very good experience. The entire team at Moorfields Eye Hospital—receptionists, nurses, tea attendant, and optometrists—were all polite, caring, and highly professional, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. The entire procedure took less than 15 minutes, and the recovery was quicker than I expected. Most importantly, my vision has improved significantly, truly life-changing. I can now see clearly and comfortably. Dr. Omar Rafiq was exceptional—highly skilled, kind, and caring. He explained every step clearly and answered all my questions. His calm and compassionate approach gave me full confidence in doing the procedure. I highly recommend him.""
"I had an excellent experience at Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhabi. Dr Omar Rafiq was thorough, calm, and extremely knowledgeable — his many years of experience truly show. He took the time to explain my condition and all available options clearly and professionally. The support from Iman Ahmed was equally outstanding — kind, attentive, and very helpful. Moorfields will be my first and only choice going forward. Highly recommended."
"Service was fantastic as always but the thing that stood out was the hospitality on the first floor. Bong asked everyone if they wanted a coffee / latte etc and he literally never stopped. The receptionist on the first floor kindly lent me his charger when I realised my phone was going to die. Just wanted to give a shout out to staff who go the extra mile and can easily be missed. They also have someone who makes karak / coffee everyday so there’s a pot waiting in the reception area. These touches really make a difference."
