Mr Giuseppe Lambros Morassi 2021-09-22 Person 5 5 0

I have been very fortunate (I am aware this will read oddly) to be patient of Mr Morassi. I was involved in a nasty RTC and fractured my back quite severely at T12. I had met Mr Morassi previously when I had had a rather troublesome wound infection from a different back operation under a different surgeon several years back. He operated several times back then and all was well. This time I presented with this T12 compressed fracture. Mr Morassi has a lovely gentle bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease. As a nurse myself we know we make some of the worst patients. However he explained to me simply, without jargon, clearly and at a pace that I was able to absorb the information he was giving me. He presented me with options and asked for my input. His team of Drs and clinical nurse specialist are equally as professional and knowledgeable. Although I knew some of the risks associated with complex surgery he still took his time to slowly go through them all and was prepared to answer any questions I had. And he gave me truly balanced information. I genuinely feel I had made a well informed choice and consent. Throughout my admission I was reviewed daily on rounds as normal but Mr Morassi would come along and check on all of his patients intermittently through the day and often late into the evenings. He is a very hands on surgeon in so much he prefers to review his surgical wounds himself and routinely will change and re dress them himself. It’s obvious he take great pride in his work. My particular worry was about developing another infection and not only did he listen to my anxieties but he addressed them by how he overall managed my post op wound care. In return I’ve complied with every request he’s made to me about taking it easy and wearing my brace. I am confident that my recovery will go as anticipated and if there should be any hiccups that won’t be due to Mr Morassi. His surgical skill is highly respected and I have no hesitation recommending him should you require surgery.
