Testimonial

Geoffrey and Sally Collins"We would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Pavesio"
My wife and I have been patients of Mr Pavesio for the last 8 years.
We have always found him to be approachable, informative and reassuring throughout the consultations that we have had with him.
He has always had an extremely pleasant and patient manner when addressing any of our concerns relating to the conditions that we have had and we continue to seek his advice and opinion going forward.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Pavesio.

Chris & Yuko"Carlos is patient with explanations and really good with kids"
Carlos is patient with explanations and really good with kids. Our four year old is comfortable and relaxed with all her examinations. The team helped navigate us through difficult times as Covid hit in early 2020, helping to secure important appointments. They are brilliant with communications and all the back office organisation and administration. All this combined gives us the confidence that our daughter is receiving excellent care.

Christopher Johnston QC"He clearly is a world-leader in his field… I cannot recommend him highly enough"
Mr Pavesio is a top rate professional. What is so impressive is that, whilst he clearly is a world leader in his field, he has a down-to-earth manner and an ability to communicate complex issues very clearly. His approach to testing, diagnosis and treatment is thorough and methodical. He is highly personable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Elaina Papastravou"Without the care, optimism and genuine creativity he’s shown in my case, my life would look very different"
Carlos has been looking after me since the age of six, and in that time, he has shown what a great doctor can achieve. I’m not a “textbook” patient, and can easily say that without the care, optimism and genuine creativity he’s shown in my case, my life would look very different now. Suffering with a chronic condition is not easy, especially when you’re young, but for both me and my parents, Carlos has been someone we trust entirely with something most important to me, my vision. Over twenty years have passed, and I still have vision and can live a pretty normal life. That’s something Carlos has helped me achieve and I continue to happily follow his direction.

Ailsa Bosworth MBE"I can’t recommend him highly enough."
“I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and a number of years ago also developed Uveitis initially in one eye but when it spread to both eyes I asked for a referral to Carlos Pavesio. This was the best thing I could have done as under his care I have been able to maintain normal vision in my left eye. Had I known then what I now know about managing Uveitis, I would have asked for a referral at a much earlier stage and had I done so, I believe the site in my right eye could have been saved. Site is a very precious thing and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Tony Pastor"His knowledge of his field is unsurpassed"
“I first met Carlos Pavesio when I was 25 years old. He was Mr Pavesio then, but he’s become Carlos over the 25 years he has cared for me.
Carlos is a brilliant eye doctor. His knowledge of his field is unsurpassed in my experience, and as a thirty-year sufferer of toxoplasmosis I’ve met a lot of doctors.
When I was struggling with repeat inflammations, Carlos was brilliantly innovative, trialling cutting edge techniques and ideas with fantastic results.
But Carlos is more than a doctor. His calm, compassionate manner with patients offers huge assurance to someone concerned about their sight.
I could not recommend him more highly.”

Angela Thomas"He has provided reassurance when needed together with understanding and empathy. I feel very lucky to have him as my consultant."
“I have been under the care of Mr Carlos Pavesio for the past 2 years and have found him to be very personable, helpful, compassionate, and above all extremely knowledgeable about my care and treatment.
He immediately put me at ease with his manner the first time I met him.
He always takes time to explain all aspects of my treatment & prognosis in a simple way that I can easily understand & thoroughly discusses the results of any tests or treatments I have had. He listens to my any concerns I might have and answers my questions in a measured and considered way.
He has provided reassurance when needed together with understanding & empathy.
I feel very lucky to have him as my consultant and being in his expert care.”

Angus Carlill"Friendly, professional and thorough"
“I first met with Carlos in April 2015 for treatment of retinal oedema in my right eye.
He injected an Iluvien implant into the eye, which sounds a bit scary but was actually very straightforward (even though I hate injections!). The implant proved effective for the predicted three years and my vision improved significantly. I subsequently had another implant injected in 2019.
Throughout the treatment Carlos and his team has been friendly, professional and thorough. He communicates clearly and honestly and is always only a phone call away, which is very reassuring.”
-
Marilyn Lee"He explains what is needed and takes away any apprehension I may feel."
“Mr Carlos Pavesio has been my Consultant for the past six years. I have wet AMD and need regular injections.
Mr Pavesio has always been very professional. He explains what is needed and takes away any apprehension I may feel.”
-
Iris Radley"He was so kind and caring and put me at ease straight away"
“I came under Mr Pavesio’s care way back in 2012 when I attended Moorfields Eye Hospital and was diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration. I was terrified at the thought of having an eye injection, but he was so kind and caring and put me at ease straight away.
Since then, I have had eye injections on a regular basis with no qualms whatsoever as I have complete faith in Mr Pavesio. Due to his professional knowledge and quick actions my sight has been saved for which I am eternally grateful.”
-
Kai Karim (Mr)"A kind, compassionate human being, a perfect gentleman, and always a fantastic listener"
“I have been under the excellent care of Professor Pavesio for over ten years for my eye condition Uveitis confirmed by Professor Pavesio after medical tests that it is caused by Sarcoidosis,
When I was referred to Professor Pavesio and came under his care over e decade ago, I had unfortunately lost the sight in my right eye due to uveitis and my good left eye was also affected by the disease. I am indebted and eternally grateful to Professor Pavesio to stabilize the Uvietis in my left eye with medical treatment over a period of time and maintaining a normal vision in my one good left eye at all times and as such, enabling me to live my life normally.
I am a qualified Accountant and Tax Consultant and mercifully, since being under the superb care under Professor Pavesio, I continue to work and contribute to society in my professional field advising clients and firms of Accountants and including engaging in outdoor sports activities, aged 71, and enjoy the gift of life!
I shall always remain grateful for the rest of my life to Professor Carlos Pavesio who I consider to be a UK national treasure and a kind, compassionate human being and a perfect gentleman and always a fantastic listener for keeping me under his care.”

Andrei Ionescu"Dr Pavesio and his team made me feel that my mother's case was in safe hands"
“I was truly impressed with Dr Pavesio’s caring for my mother’s case. My mother was diagnosed with CMV retinitis in Romania but unfortunately due to the pandemic she was not able to travel for an in-person consultation to the UK. For the past 3 months, Dr Pavesio and his team went the extra mile to support and guide my mother’s case: video conferences with my mother and her consultant in Romania, detailed follow up reports, support with procuring the treatment needed (as this was not available in Romania). Dr Pavesio’s expertise and support were paramount to my mother’s recovery. Thank you!

Tom"He has remained very closely focused on my care and I appreciate very acutely his support."
I will be grateful always to Carlos for his skill and experience and intelligence and in particular for having spotted an issue with my eye that had been missed by other specialists, and which could have caused me serious problems. Since that time he has remained very closely focussed on my care and I appreciate very acutely his support.
