Approachable and friendly

Kam was really approachable and friendly every time we met. He explained all the procedures, answered all my questions and reassured me.
He repaired a macular hole in both my left and right eye followed by cataract surgery in the same. Prior to each of the operations, as well as during and after he put my mind at ease which was a massive help as I was very anxious. He was also available when I needed to contact him after one of the operations to discuss and advise on a query I had.
I have complete faith in him and would recommend him to anyone needing eye surgery.

Mary Larden

Mr Balaggan was recommended to me by my optician because of his expertise in the type of surgery I needed. From our first meeting he was very kind and friendly and wanted to understand what my expectations would be following the surgery and then suggested the best options for me. After arriving at the hospital on the day of the surgery he explained the procedure so that I knew what to expect. Although I was a little apprehensive, the process was quick and painless. From the next morning, I was able to read a newspaper without any contact lenses for the first time in many years. I would like to thank him for his help and would not hesitate to go back to him should any other problem with my eyes arise. I highly recommend Mr Balaggan.

Mr Balaggan was amazing!!!

Mr Balaggan was amazing, right from my first meeting with him, through eye surgery (macular hole and cataract) to my final follow up consultation. He has been kind, informative, exceptionally knowledgeable and has always made sure i was aware of the procedures and outcomes. I knew I was in safe hands, which was a huge relief. With the help of his wonderful secretary, all appointments were made and again I was kept informed all the way, putting my mind at ease.
Couldn't recommend Mr Balaggan and his team enough. Thank you

Lens replacement

Kam explained everything in a professional and friendly way which made me more relaxed. Gave me all the various options with clear explanations. The pre-operation assessment was also carried out in a friendly and professional way putting me at ease. the lens replacement surgery was painless and very successful. I was happy that I had the Toric lenses that I had never heard of. All in all a very pleasant experience. Thank you

Brilliant eye surgery

The entire process of having cataract surgery to both eyes was a wonderful experience. Mr Balaggan is a true gentleman and a skilled surgeon and his secretary, Debbie, is a pleasure to deal with.
I have no hesitation in commending both of them for their respective roles.

I visited Spire hospital in Little Aston on 2 occasions to have complex cataract removal on both eyes by Mr Kam Ballagan.Both procedures went very well (I'm a nervous patient ) Mr Ballagan and his team were 1st class from start to finish .He and his staff were attentive Reasuring and kind to me throughout.My eyesight was pretty bad in March and I drive for a living so I've been unable to work .But now in April I can see without spectacles and I don't have to wear sunglasses in the bright sunshine which was a particularly big problem for me.All in the space of 6 weeks My eyesight is as good as when I was in my youth.I will be forever grateful to Mr Ballagan and his team for saving my sight and enabling me to work again until I retire .

CATARACT SURGERY ETC.
All aspects of the treatment for cataract surgery were carried out wonderfully and the recovery is going very well. Prior to the surgery there were also a few issues and these were dealt with successfully. Would highly recommend Mr Balaggan for cataract surgery and other retinal eye problems. He offers a great professional service and provides good aftercare.

Very professional - exceptional care and consideration given. I’ve now had both of my cataract operations completed on 11/1/25 and 8/3/25 and I do not have any complaints about any aspect from start to discharge today. Everything was explained very clearly at the consultation and during the procedure

Cataract Operation

I have recently had cataracts for both eyes,the operation carried out by Mr Balaggan. He is a lovely man and the whole procedure from start to finish went like clockwork with each step of the way conducted in a no stress manner.
Mr Balaggan was first class from the first time of meeting to my last checkup on the 7th April.

Kindest Regards

Outstanding care and support

Mr Balaggan was supportive throughout the pre-op, during and after the surgery. He was able to answer any questions I had and put me at ease. He was also available out of hours if I needed any help or had any concerns. He was professional at all times and made me feel comfortable and calm. If I required more eye surgery I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
