Excellent patient care both pre-op and post-op. Professional establishment creating patient confidence in the outcome of the procedure. Highly recommend Mr Shortt.

Mr Alex Shortt is a very lovely man who totally knows his stuff and I completely trust his opinions. It is always a pleasure to be seen by him!

I am so happy for have done my eye surgery with Dr.Alex Shortt.
I high recommend it.He's a great Dr. >

Dr Shortt is a very competent surgeon and I am very happy to be his patient

From start to finish, it was a pleasant experience. Clearly, a very highly skilled eye specialist, Mr Shortt diagnosed straight away and commenced treatment which started working from the very same day. After struggling for a year, i have finally managed to regain some quality of life. I can now focus properly on what’s important instead of sitting in front of a fan, with an ice pack on my eyes all day. I have Steven Johnson syndrome and had severe uveitis with ingrowing eyelashes, and that being my only working eye it was absolutely vital for me to get the best treatment out there. I firmly believe i am on the road to recovery now. Highly highly recommend Mr Shortt

Fantastic surgeon, very reassuring - you can trust your vision is in good hands. Excellent post-care too

Excellent advice and treatment. Dr Short is a very approachable and kind.

I have nothing but great things to say about all the people I came into contact with at Optegra - very patient, organised, professional and helpful. Mr Shortt in particular was very thorough and completely put me at ease, as well as helping to settle my mother’s nerves, who was probably more anxious than I was. Also, thanks to Andrew Ward for recommending Optegra and helping answer any questions I had at the start of the process. I have already recommended Optegra to a few friends and family members. Thank you!

I received LASIK surgery back in August and couldn't be more pleased! Alex was reassuring, professional, and judging by my perfect eyesight, a very good surgeon! Highly recommended

Most are very pensive when it comes to fiddling with their eyes, however the experience is far more palatable when you are in the expert care of Mr Shortt. Professional, calm and clear approach gives confidence to see the process through. After care is excellent and my vision now is better than expected.
Would not hesitate to recommend Mr Shortt.

Mr. Shortt explained everything clearly, was easy to talk to. I felt he was open and honest with which procedure to have as well as any follow up that would be needed. I have since reccomended Optegra and Mr. Shortt to a couple of friends.

Excellent surgeon, excellent team and I am very happy that it was Mr Short who I have trusted with my eye health. Surgeon Short has done an amazing job and in 24h I felt like I got a new pair of eyes!
Couldn't recommend enough!

Excellent - I can unreservedly recommend Alex.

I would highly recommend Mr Alex Shortt to anyone who requires eye surgery because of the excellent, efficient and prompt urgent attention I received from him recently. My eyesight was extremely poor and had deteriorated to the verge of blindness.
Mr Alex Shortt's manner and brilliant skills are of the highest professional and caring standard one could ever expect to receive. I am now living in a bright new world no longer needing spectacles after wearing bifocal lenses for the past 24 years. There was nothing distressing whatsoever regarding my 2 operations that I received i.e. they were pain free with NO INJECTIONS.
Follow-up treatment was impeccable.
I am one very happy and satisfied patient to have had my eyesight restored by Mr Alex Shortt to perfect vision again. One could not ask for more!

The London hospital was clean, the surgeon Alex Shortt made me feel relaxed and overall I couldn't fault anything.

Very impressed and professional

Mr Shortt took great care and time to explain the procedures and was always very reassuring and professional, especially during the actual ops. I was quite worried that my vision was taking a while to be as crisp and sharp as I had expected after having lens replacement in both eyes. He did thorough examinations and tests each time I expressed concern. He said I just needed adjustment time and my sight is perfect now as he said it would be. He is a very busy man and takes pains to not make you feel rushed and consequently appointment times did run late so do expect each visit to be longer than you would estimate.

I found Mr Shortt to be a very warm and caring and would definitely recommend him for any eye procedures you are considering.

I haven't had any treatment, only a consultation, so don't feel able to give a higher rating. However, he was certainly very clear and helpful during the consultation and his manner was pleasant and also such that I felt I could trust his judgment

Fantastic consultant has looked after 3 members of our family. A really caring consultant, will not do anything unecessary. Doesnt limit your appointment time either. Has looked after my mother in law (cancer patient) Father in Law cateracts and Husband with laser suregery.

Cant recommend enough.
