I was not keen on having a spinal epidural and Dr Griffiths listened to my concerns and the options and made me feel reassured, he was friendly and easy to talk to helped make the whole experience a little less stressful
I was having spinal anesthetic and Dr Griffiths, realising that I was scared of the procedure was very caring and explained as he went along. I was amazed at how easy it was and how I felt. Earlier before going down to the operating Dr Griffiths had offered me a most welcome cold lemon drink 'Nutricia' as I had not had anything to eat or drink for a while. I was aware throughout the operation of a hip replacement but I had no worries, and felt very relaxed. Because I had not been put to sleep, recovery was very quick, and the spinal anesthetic had completely wore off in two hours, after the operation.
Before my operation at Fitzwilliam Hospital in Peterborough I was feeling very apprehensive but after discussing my anaesthetic options with Dr Griffiths he was able to make me feel totally at ease with my choices. Opting for a spinal injection he talked me through everything that was happening as we went along and I felt very safe in his hands.
Not only did he come along to see me on the ward later that evening to see how I was after the operation, he took the time to call back in the following day to check on my progress. I found him a very, kind, caring and professional person, and it made my operation experience a lot better than I was expecting.
Following a recent left hip replacement at The Fitzwilliam Hospital in Peterborough, I received the utmost care from Dr Griffiths. Everything regarding my spinal anaesthesia was explained to me, including how this would be administered and the benefits of recovery with this type of procedure. I felt safe at all times and knew I was in very good hands.
The doctor has a very warm an professional manner. He gave me clear and simple advice about the type of anaesthetic I should have for my operation, even though I had already made a different decision. He listened to my concerns. I felt very confident being in his care.
