My experience of care with Mr Griffiths was very positive. He has excellent patient care skills and a very patient centred approach. I had experienced problems for a long time and had stalled several times on my decision to have surgery and tried some other treatment options with other clinics. I sometimes felt that some other clinicians felt frustrated with my choices and did not fully appreciate the impact that having a hysterectomy would have. Mr Griffiths was patient, kind and understanding in his approach and understood the journey that I had been on to get to his consulting room. It is apparent from the literature that his team provide that his team really do understand that having a hysterectomy is more than a surgical procedure and also needs a more holistic approach that is a team effort involving treating clinicians, the patient and the patients support network, taking into account social factors, self care and emotional support as well. Mr Griffiths is a first rate surgeon and he works with a great theatre and nursing team. Prior to surgery he was open and realistic with me about surgical approaches, his confident yet considered approach left me feeling that I was in very safe hands. My recovery was entirely uncomplicated and I am very pleased to have had the surgery, it was nice to tell Mr Griffiths at follow up that having the procedure had already resulted in significant improvements in my health and wellbeing. I had TAH/BSO in March 2019.
