Do not ever go to the opthamologist Matt Annear here! If I could leave no stars, I would! My cat has had Eosinophilic Keratitis since January. After my first consultation, Matt gave me 3 eyedrops to give her which made no difference at all. Matt advised the next option was surgery to remove the plaque in her eye to speed up the healing process but advised there is only a 50% chance this could work. After surgery, the plaque started to return after a week. At my post op appointment 2 weeks after surgery, Matt broke the news that my cat now has cancer in her eye and needs to go for surgery again only 2 weeks after her initial operation. I was extremely upset as I had just pulled out a loan to pay for the first surgery and knew I may not be able to open a second loan to remove the cancer from her eye before it started to spread. I thought it was about time I get a second opinion. On Monday, the 12th of April, I went to another opthamologist who pulled up all of my cat's records from ARH. Matt had never made note of having found cancer in my cats eye and they confirmed she does not have cancer. After just 3 days of using the eyedrops they supplied, my cats eye no longer has any more plaque, she is no longer squinting and no longer has a cloudy film over her eye. Her eye is almost as clear as her good eye in just 3 days! Fifi didn't even need to go through surgery the first time!!! Her eyedrops just needed to be changed up! They are money hungry people who do not care about your pets!! The receptionists have always been rude every time I've been there. Matt is a charlatan! He never explained anything properly, he always gave me uncertain answers, he never treated my cat in front of me so I have no idea what was being done or how she was being handled or if anything was being done at all for every $300 consultation I paid for!
