I had an myomectomy done by Dr Priddy last year May. Although consultation appointments were at Northwick Park Hospital the surgery was in Ealing Hospital. I was so impressed with his pre-surgery care, surgery and post surgery care that I had asked him how I could give positive feedback. He was very humble about it, but thought it would be useful to have feedback online about myomectomy to help others in need of this surgery that would be worried,so was happy for me to do one. At the time of the operation I was nearly 33 years with no children, so was particularly worried about the surgery, i had large fibroids so was told the possibility of having children successfully without their removal was low. In any event due to pain it was important that i got them removed, they were too large to be reduced by medication. Myomectomy was recommended to be the best option although more invasive than some other methods.I was also due to get married 5 months after the surgery so again further worried about the surgery and recovery, but was also worried about the surgery going wrong and not being able to have children afterwards. Dr Priddy was very reassuring and I felt confident in his knowledge and abilities at all times. I felt I was listened to and that he genuinely cared and wanted the best for me. He was very positive and addressed any concerns. I had another appointment with him after pre-op checks appointment, for him to make sure that nothing was missed at the pre-op appointment. I was contacted directly by his secretary to arrange this and was told that although not usually done by other doctors, he likes to do so to make sure for himself everything is ok for surgery. This again demonstrates the type of doctor he is. The surferg went well, i recovered very well, and was able to finish planning my destination wedding and was fit and well to travel. As result of the wedding and other positive but busy life events that followed in the last year I never got around to writing a review until now, but because of my positive experience with Dr Priddy it has remained on my list to do. I'm due to give birth to my first child imminently and got pregnant shockingly quick once decided to try to get pregnant, so the surgery didn't have any negative impact on fertility, as I had feared. Dr Priddy is an amazing doctor, and if you are referred to him you will be in good hands.
