21 April UPDATE to the Update!
My surgery didn't go ahead on Monday and I am waiting for a revised date.
So in the meantime I will be in clinic at the end of this week as normal. (And possibly well beyond that too.)I wanted to share an update with you regarding your care at Richard Fantom Eyecare.
Original Post:
Today, Friday 17 April, will be my last day in the practice for a little while. Next week I undergo surgery on my shoulder. This is a planned procedure and nothing sinister; I expect to make a full recovery and return to the practice later in the year.
In the meantime, I want to reassure you that your eye care remains in very safe hands.
Appointments will continue as normal. Eye examinations and contact lens care will be carried out by our fully qualified and experienced optometrists, Muhammad Haroon and Dan Muratore. Both bring a wealth of expertise and are committed to providing the same high standard of care you have come to expect.
They will have full access to your patient records, ensuring complete continuity of care, and will be using the same outstanding, state-of-the-art equipment for your examinations. You can be confident that the thorough, high-quality service you expect will remain exactly the same.
Our expert Dispensing Opticians, Helen Stafford and Scott O'Neill, will continue to help you choose from the very best in eyewear and spectacle lenses, combining clinical expertise with a great sense of style.
All of this will be supported by our wonderful reception team, Louise and Laura, who will continue to look after you throughout your visit.
