I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kriek From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and cared for. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, and I never felt rushed. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine compassion really stood out. My vision concerns were addressed with great attention to detail, and I left feeling confident in the care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Kriek to anyone looking for a skilled and caring ophthalmologist!

During my vacation in South Africa from the U.K., I had the misfortune, over the weekend, to suffer a detached retina. I was recommended to the Somerset Eye Centre and in particular Dr Jozef Kriek. From the moment I arrived in reception, on the Monday morning, the reception staff were very welcoming, helpful and professional. Dr Kriek, ably assisted by Kerry, assessed me and confirmed it was indeed a detached retina and explained very calmly, yet thoroughly what the problem was and how he would operate the following day to begin to restore my vision. I was scheduled for the operation on Tuesday and whilst a little anxious, who wouldn’t be? Was re-assured by all the support from the whole team. Very glad to say that the operation was successful and in the post operative review the next day. Dr Kriek said he was pleased with the outcome of the surgery, which was great news for me to hear. After running through a number of do’s and dont’s on my road to recovery, I am now set to return to the U.K. next week. For anyone else in my predicament, if I was asked to recommend a Retina Specialist to anyone needing treatment, I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Jozef Kriek and his exceptional 5 star team.

Friendly, World class treatment

I had my eyes tested in the Netherlands for Lasik surgery but was put off by lack of friendliness or personal attention, given inherent risks of the surgery. After exchanging emails from abroad I booked an appointment during my holiday and was greeted with amazing care and attitude. After two appointments of measuring they had the same surgery recommendation, and it was 2/3 of the price. I can't recommend this Eye clinic enough if you are considering Lasik surgery. I am still in the recovery stage but on day 2 I could already see as well if not better than I did with glasses. Thank you Dr Beatty, Monique and the rest of the lovely staff.

I had my eye-laser Op done on October the 1st, 2024 after 2 thorough check-ups and discussions. I was quite anxious that morning of the Op, but when I saw the Ophthalmologist, Dr Beatty, I was greeted with the biggest smile ever. I am sure if he didn't have ears, that smile would have gone right around his head. His greeting alone, immediately put me at ease and I knew I would receive the best care. The Optometrist who assisted during my check-up, is such a lovely human being. Thank you to each and every one who helped making this experience a super fantastic one.
Much Love. Elise Titus

That's besides the expertise of the surgeon Dr Mukhewya.
