Patient Testimonial

“My two children have been under the care of Dr Mustafa for 2 years for Glaucoma and he is an excellent Eye Surgeon. Transparent in his ways he even showed us surgical videos of what he did for my kids. I have never seen a doctor that shows kindness with guidance and transparency in a very difficult disease to treat. I am very happy with his care.”

Mr Al Seyari
UAE

“I have been suffering from glaucoma last year and had gone through Glaucoma Surgery by Dr. Mustafa. After exactly one year of my surgery, I can confidently say that it was best decision to go for it. Before my surgery, my Eye pressure was not in control by any medicine and had consulted at least 5-6 Eye specialist in UAE, none of them was having any solution. Today, I am not using any sort of medication after 1 year of surgery. Thanks you Dr. Mustafa’s for your true professional support.
