“A simple phone call and a week later I was “booked in” to see a leading specialist to review my condition. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and everyone in Trasna was so friendly and helpful. My consultant was outstanding and very professional. I haven’t looked back since and have great reassurance about my condition”.
“Dealing with Cathedral Eye Clinic was a very successful experience and every member of staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The consultations and surgeries went very well and all the staff in Cathedral put me at ease and took excellent care of me in all respects, particularly with regards to my allergies and to Covid. Thanks to all at Trasna for helping me on the way initially, the knowledge that I had you as my go-to back-up was extremely reassuring. It was a fabulous experience and I couldn’t wait to get my second eye done. I did this two weeks later and it was equally successful…”
“Top class experience – couldn’t have asked for anything better. Far beyond expectations. Has been recommending us to lots of people already….”
“I am thrilled to share my experience with Trasna and its exceptional staff, particularly Fiona, who played an integral role in ensuring my peace of mind throughout the process.
Fiona’s professionalism, transparency, and unwavering dedication reassured me that I was in capable hands. She patiently addressed all my concerns and guided me through each step with clarity and integrity.
I travelled to Helios Hospital in Krefeld, Germany, for spinal surgery and can attest that it offers an unprecedented level of care in a pristine, state-of-the-art facility. From the staff’s devotion and expertise to the cleanliness of the hospital, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Thanks to the remarkable team there, my surgery was not only a success but also a testament to their unwavering support and excellent service during a challenging time.
I wholeheartedly recommend Trasna to anyone seeking trustworthy and reliable services. My sincere gratitude to Fiona and the entire team for their outstanding assistance.”
