I am in total awe of this man who successfully and radically created me a new tongue out of my calf! I was treated for tongue cancer 5 weeks ago at Guys hospital and whilst the whole team was integral to ensuring the cancer was cut out the ability to reconstruct a tongue is just astounding. My new tongue, whilst still swollen and a bit hard to control is showing all the signs that my speech and eating will totally return to normal. I never felt any doubt that this was going to be a successful operation, Dr Orfaniotis put me totally at ease even though I couldn’t comprehend how you can make a tongue out of a leg! I really felt as though my future was in his hands and his confidence and personable manner gave me the reassurance I needed that he was totally in control of this! Every time he checked in on me during his morning rounds he looked in my mouth and said, 'WOW - that’s great.' He is genuinely so committed to doing an exceptional job and doing the best for his patients and he truly takes pride in his work. I am extremely grateful for his work in the NHS that enabled me to survive and thrive as well as I have! Thank you.
