I was recommended to seek Mr Leadbetter’s opinion by my optician who was worried that my long-term Glaucoma needed urgent treatment, beyond the eye drops that I had been prescribed and I followed his advice.

During my contact with his secretary, I have found her to be helpful and kind also making the whole journey from first appointment to surgery and aftercare very easy.

Mr Leadbetter is one of the most charming and kindest doctors I have ever met. He was so reassuring and made me feel quite relaxed during the procedure.

Dear Mr Leadbetter, I write to thank you for your constant care and professional attention throughout this time, and how your demeanour made the whole experience easier for me.

Duncan Leadbetter is without question a very skilful eye surgeon and the support he gives his patients is every bit as important as the diagnosis and treatment.

I cannot recommend Duncan highly enough and I thank him for all he has done to improve my condition and help me cope with the concerns I had as I faced my operation.

Duncan greets you with a smile and gives you confidence that everything that can be done to help your condition is being done. Continuity of care during the most worrying stages of treatment helps enormously.

Having a serious eye disease is frightening and can be life changing and it helps enormously to have the kind and caring support of your surgeon as well as the highly skilled surgery.

I am so very impressed and thankful for the absolutely brilliant, professional and caring treatment I received at Sulis. I couldn’t fault a single thing. The staff and consultant, Mr Leadbetter, were just outstanding. I really don’t know what else to say.

Dear Mr Leadbetter, I’d like to thank you very much for giving me back the fantastic eye vision I now have after my two cataract surgeries with you.
