"I suffered from drooping eye lids that affected my field of vision, and after extensive research I decided to have a consultation with Tessa Fayers about my condition and the treatments that she could offer to correct it. The initial consultation was extensive and considerate. Tessa explained very clearly what was causing the condition and what could be done. I had several options in front of me, but at no point did I feel pressured or rushed to make a decision. When I did, I managed to get the surgery within a fortnight. The attention I received from the staff, the anaesthetist, and Tessa herself, on the day of the surgery was first class. I have been quite apprehensive with previous (unrelated) surgeries but felt very relaxed throughout my time under the care of Tessa and her team. The results were exactly as I'd hoped for and the only regret I have is not doing it years ago!!! I could not recommend Tessa highly enough."
