"I cannot speak more highly of them"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Ophthalmology

(as the patient),

I have been attending Hairmyres for the last 7 months, having injections into my eye. I have major 'white coat' syndrome - every member of staff I have encountered over this time have been wonderful and so understanding. I cannot speak more highly of them. Thank you.

Dear Zaragirlboxer,

Love your code name first and foremost! Thank you for sharing your experiences with not only us but every reader who may have had anxieties about this type of treatment.

I'm delighted to share your post with the Ophthalmology teams and I hope we are helping you to get past the 'white coat syndrome' which affects many of us too - despite working in healthcare.

I hope your treatment is going well and that you continue to reap the benefits of these injections.

Kind Regards

Gwen
