Mr Hywel Dafydd

Written by a NHS patient at Morriston Hospital

After previously having a hip replacement and suffering post op from severe tingling and numbness down my thigh Mr Dafydd successfully released a femoral nerve which had been trapped. I am so very grateful for his amazing skill, until his procedure I was in constant pain. His kind,,understanding approach to my issue was very comforting he followed up with calls and messages which gave me reassurances? Now a few months later life is finally back to normal Mr Dafydd is obviously extremely skilled in his field,I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has encountered a similar problem.

For some time I had pain/discomfort in my wrist and thumb. I made an appointment to see Mr Dafydd who confirmed it was De Quervain syndrome. I opted for an injection to try and ease the discomfort but it only lasted a few weeks. this was no surprise as Mr Dafydd did explain that would probably be the case but I felt it was worth a try. I then had a procedure to open the tendon sheath to allow better movement. This was carried out by Mr Dafydd in Morriston. As I have an ICD fitted we had to have cardiology involved, this was well organised and the procedure was done very quickly and painlessly. The procedure was fully explained and I opted to see the tendon moving freely after the sheath was opened. The procedure was carried out with great care and professionalism .

Hywel was wonderful. Very patient, polite, and great at explaining everything. I was always told what was going on and it made the whole process so much less stressful.

I had an operation on my hand for Dupuytrens and carpal tunnel. I am extremely pleased with the whole process, from start to finish. Mr Dafydd was fantastic. He has a lovely manner and clearly explained the procedure beforehand. He was totally honest about everything, which gave me great confidence in him. The actual operation (which Mr Dafydd said had taken longer than he had expected and proved to be quite complicated) was very stress free. Post-op he kept in touch, offering support when I needed reassurance during the healing process. He also arranged for me to see an excellent physio who kept Mr Dafydd informed of my progress. Four months after my op the outcome has surpassed my expectations and I am so pleased that I had it done.
