Yes. Mr Mohamed Mohyudin (GMC 7039600) is a substantive NHS Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon and double fellowship-trained specialist. He personally assesses you, performs your procedure at Spire Elland Hospital, and conducts all follow-up appointments — not a rotating team or anonymous clinic model.

Private consultations are typically available within 1–2 weeks. Where children's squint (strabismus) surgery is recommended, surgery is usually arranged within a few weeks of your first appointment — far faster than the NHS pathway (several months to over a year).

Mr Mohyudin is double fellowship trained in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. Children's squint surgery requires specialist orthoptic assessment, amblyopia management and age-appropriate surgical planning — not all adult strabismus surgeons operate on children.
