At Spire Cardiff Hospital, Mr Gorman personally manages each of his private patients.
Whatever the ophthalmic condition, a comprehensive eye examination and consultation is the starting point of a patient’s management.
Not every ophthalmic condition requires surgery but during a consultation at Spire Hospital, Mr Gorman has the time to explain his findings to the patient, discuss the condition, management options, timescales and answer patient questions.
Patients can then take time to consider their options and a management plan is agreed with the patient as appropriate.
