My first meeting with Mr Morritt in July 2015 was such a relief; to be able to discuss, understand and be advised what the best procedure was for me was very important. I had my mastectomy operation in France in October 2012 followed by Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. To not be able to understand french very well led to misunderstandings in communicating with the doctors and nursing staff and just generally getting frustrated with not knowing enough made me even more anxious than I was already feeling. Even though the medical procedure was very good I felt that I wanted reconstruction in my home town of Sheffield, it was too important to me to get it wrong. I researched several types of reconstruction and decided the Dieppe flap reconstruction was the type I would like and I hoped it was suitable for me. I was referred to the plastic surgery dept. at the Hallamshire Hospital this is where I met Mr Morritt. He made me feel at ease and I liked him from the start he listened and was patient, he doesn't rush his appointments and he understands the importance of the emotional side of the operation, he has a very caring nature and clearly he is happy in his career (he has the best smile). I was relieved that he knew and was experienced in the Dieppe flap reconstruction, he explained it in great detail and he was confident that it would be suitable for me. The operation was carried out in March 2016 and it was a great success I am thrilled and eternally grateful to Mr Morritt and his team. Later in the year I had lypo filling to balance my breasts and I have just undergone the nipple sharing operation which is just amazing, I was a little nervous this time as I was awake during this procedure having only a local anaesthetic but the whole team in the theatre were friendly and chatting and soon put me at ease. I feel very fortunate to have had such a skilful, pleasant and caring surgeon...thank you Andrew Morritt I'm a very happy lady.
