Explanation

I am so immensely grateful and thankful that Miss Dr Vickie Lee became my ophthalmologist. Thyroid Eye Disease is a very difficult and distressing disease to experience in addition to thyroid disease. It deforms your face and appearance, affects your sight and makes you question if you can continue with a normal life again. Her specialisation and knowledge made a huge difference comparative to the care I had received before. Her up to date solution focus to improve the disease, as well as her care and attentiveness to the emotional aspect you experience, was invaluable and made all the difference. Thank you so very much!

Explanation

I was very fortunate to have been referred to Miss Lee for TED. Miss Lee is super efficient in her own right and her clinic is run really efficiently as well. It was great I could move from private to NHS for treatment which meant being monitored over a few years. No difference in quality of care. I felt Miss Lee understood my problems and explained options to me very clearly. She would discuss options, pros and cons for each and make a recommendation. I felt included in the process but obviously led by her expertise. Whenever Miss Lee said she would arrange for scans / blood tests etc someone would be in touch - I never had to chase. She made things happen!
