Mr Pieter Gouws

MBChB · FRCOphth · DipDerm · PGCertMMed · GMC 4244332

A Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists with a Diploma in Dermatology, Mr Gouws is a consultant eye surgeon who has personally performed over 20,000 eye operations. He trained through fellowships in glaucoma (Toronto) and medical retina (Bristol), was clinical lead for ophthalmology at Conquest Hospital in Hastings, established East Sussex's diabetic eye-screening programme, and has published more than 25 papers in peer-reviewed journals. It's this surgical precision, combined with a dermatology qualification, that he brings to skin and eyelid work at Calm & Gentle Skin — where you're assessed and treated by the same consultant from start to finish. Away from the clinic, he is a founding director of the Andean Medical Mission, a charity restoring sight in remote regions of the Bolivian Amazon.
