Ms Jane Olver, Ophthalmologist
❝Jane Olver is an extremely competent oculoplastic surgeon dealing primarily with lacrimal and eyelid abnormalities which she corrects very satisfactorily. She trained with me as a senior registrar and as a fellow. She now runs her own private clinic where she sees and operates on large numbers of patients. I have no hesitation in giving her the strongest recommendation, particularly emphasising her expertise in tear drainage and lacrimal surgery on which she has written an excellent textbook.❞
