Mr Andrew Morritt

Written by a patient at Royal Hallamshire Hospital

I was referred to Mr Morritt with a lump on my leg by my GP. I had had this painful lump for a while and it was quite a shock when my GP said I had to be referred to Sheffield after undergoing MRI scans and told it could be cancerous. When I met Mr Morritt at my first consultation he firstly reassured me that he had reviewed my scans and was of the opinion it was not cancerous and nothing for me to worry about. He explained in detail what my options were and after a discussion he left the room for me to talk to my daughter for a few minutes to decide whether I wished to have the lump removed. I decided to have it removed and I felt immediately reassured by Mr Morritt's calm approach to the forthcoming surgery as he explained to me what it would entail. I duly returned a couple of weeks later and had the surgery. I had the surgery under local anaesthetic and the procedure was completely pain free and the result excellent. Even in the immediate post operative period I had no pain or problems and what a difference this has made to me. I returned a few weeks later to Mr Morritt's clinic where he gave me the confirmation that the biopsy was not cancerous but was a lump resting on the nerve. Again Mr Morritt fully explained the diagnosis to me and asked if I had any further questions. I was not rushed at all and my whole journey has been stress free and only by the professionalism of Mr Morritt. I have been very lucky indeed to have been treated by such a gentleman and he is a credit to his profession.

Dr/Mr Morritt is an absolutely talented, truly caring and compassionate surgeon. Having received the news of my mums breast cancer, my worse fears were lifted after the consultations. All the options and reconstruction routes were discussed very carefully, ensuring mum was happy with the outcome. All throughout the process, his professionalism, attention to details and care were second to none - I definitely feel my mum received the best possible outcome to rival private care, which was only made possible by Dr/Mr Morritt. Thank you for all you have done for my mum, she is extremely happy with her reconstruction and back to her old self again, feeling confident and happy and our family will be forever grateful.

Mr Morritt from the very start of me being diagnosed was not only clear and supportive but reassuring and truly cared for my individual needs, lifting my worries and completely putting me at ease like no other doctor I have experienced. His consultancy prior to my operation was clearer and more factual than I thought I would receive, his advice and experience allowed me to select the most suitable option for my condition. Throughout and after my operation, Mr Morritt attended to me and checked on me daily whilst in hospital, ensuring I was recovering well and getting the care I needed from the nursing team. I cannot thank Mr Morritt enough and my words do not do him justice, for he is not only a great surgeon but his caring approach and support is second to none. Even up on receiving my results and after care several weeks after gave me real reassurance that my reconstruction went extremely well and I personally feel my reconstruction looks absolutely amazing, I couldn't have wished for a better result. Thank you very Mr Morritt, I am truly grateful.

From the moment I met Mr Morritt at the Sheffield sarcoma clinic i instantly knew I was in safe hands. I was terrified regarding my huge arm lump and I was reassured every step of the way , and most importantly I felt comfortable on the journey that was about to unfold. He has a wonderful manner and is so kind, gentle and just a wonderful person who I owe my life to. Even on the day of my operation he made me feel reassured and his lovely smile made me smile too. It's a big day I will never forget. It's been a traumatic rollercoaster for me but I feel very lucky that I got the best surgeon who made me have so much confidence to stay positive throughout my journey at sarcoma clinic. I had extensive surgery of which I now have a perfect arm and a very neat scar. I have found this hard to write but if you are fortunate enough to have Mr Morritt as your surgeon you will have the best person you could wish for. Mr Morritt if you read this you are my hero you saved my life, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart..I really do. X. (Amanda H, Sheffield)
