A few words from Mr Ramsden…
“Coming to talk about surgery can be stressful and so I take my time to listen to my patients concerns and once I understand these, I ensure that I explain all the available options clearly. Once we have agreed together on what to do I work hard to get the desired result.”
Mr Ramsden and his fellow Ophthalmic Surgeons work very closely together to ensure all Exeter Eye patients have access to an experienced Consultant Eye Surgeon at all times.
