Mr Andrew Morritt

Written by a patient at Royal Hallamshire Hospital

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.

Mr Morritt is a truly brilliant surgeon! I had a DIEP flap procedure in June of last year after a second breast cancer diagnosis. Whilst I fully acknowledge the initial lumpectomy and lymph node removal were necessary 12 years ago I was left with a body I hated and my confidence at an all time low! Mr Morritt and the breast consultant explained to me that procedures had improved and I could have the mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time but never in my wildest dreams did I expect the results to be so overwhelmingly good! Mr Morritt in particular explained what he thought he would be able to achieve and why he could do this. His team were also caring and supportive but his skills are phenomenal and he has given me my life back!!!

From my very first visit to Mr.Morritt I found him very approachable and easy to converse with concerning my sarcoma cancer. He was very informative and explained very clearly what treatment was required in my case. On the day of the surgery I felt confident and he always asked if there were any questions that I had. I had to have a second operation but again it was all well explained and I always felt that he was sympathetic to me as a patient. I am pleased to say that I have recovered well and will continue to be followed up at Weston Park. I would highly recommend Mr.Morritt and his team to anyone who had to face surgery .

Andrew was initially a little shy but has proved caring, very thorough and gave me all the time I needed at all our appointments before and after major surgery. I have also been very pleased by the whole team of nurses and medical staff who have helped me through a very difficult period of my life.
