Professor Damian Griffin OBE TD VR BM BCh MA MPhil FRCS(Tr&Orth)

Written by a private patient at The Warwickshire Nuffield Hospital

I had the unique privilege of undergoing a hip resurfacing procedure performed by Professor Griffin, and I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care that I received. As a former professional rugby athlete with Harlequins - my hip was in a miserable state post career, with constant pain and a limp at the age of 35. His expertise and precision were immediately evident, which, coupled with his compassionate approach to patient care, made for a truly reassuring experience. The hip resurfacing was successful, and my recovery was surprisingly smooth, largely due to the comprehensive post-operative guidance given by Professor Griffin. I am back to my normal activities without any pain or discomfort and able to enjoy an active life with my son. I highly endorse Professor Griffin for anyone considering hip resurfacing, an expert in his field who genuinely prioritises patient welfare.

As a 49-year-old lady who has enjoyed keeping fit all her life, I have endured hip-related problems on and off over the years. However, in the last year or so, the discomfort started to ramp up to a point where I was affected daily. A friend suggested I make contact with Anna Curnow, a local physio. After a meeting with her, she very quickly organised an MRI for me. Within a week the results were in and diagnosed that I had a right hip labral tear. My physio recommended Professor Damian Griffin - I am delighted that she did! After the initial consultation with Professor Griffin, it was decided that I would undertake a right hip arthroscopy. Six weeks later, Professor Griffin performed the procedure, Right hip arthroscopy; labral shrinkage and debridement. Over the next few days, I was expecting some post-op pain, but it never really presented itself. I was handled extremely delicately during the surgery and this was highlighted in my recovery coupled with Professor Griffin's advice of not rushing the recovery. Professor Griffin is a delightful, calming gentleman who genuinely wants the best for you and is a superb surgeon. From start to finish my treatment was excellent. I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and for giving me my smile back. It’s my 50th next year and now I look forward to winter training to enjoy some tough physical events next year to mark my big number!

An earlier review described Damian as 'having your best interests at heart'. This captures it for me. I originally consulted him with a hip problem 13 years ago. He could have operated then - other surgeons would have. Instead he told me I could manage my condition. It was another 10 years before I needed to see him again. At that stage he said I needed FHR intervention and I felt 100% confident in his judgement. I've always kept fit. I exercise meaningfully pretty much every day. Damian assured me that, after rehab, I could return to the same exercise regime I'd had before. Two years on from the procedure, I'm fitter, more mobile, more flexible than I was twenty years ago....let alone two years ago. Just brilliant.

I’m an all-weather motorcyclist and was keen to get my labral tear repaired as soon as possible so that I could resume my activities. Professor Griffin was brilliant. He explained everything thoroughly and was very reassuring. I had my surgery in London and I took the Tube and train home to Warwickshire the day after - on my own. I had no pain and actually didn’t need the crutches. The pain from my hip has been sorted, physio has been great and I was back on the motorbike within six weeks. I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Griffin as he is superb.

Prof Griffin is an an amazing person and very skilled surgeon. Prior to my first consultation with him I was scared and hesitant as I am an active 61 year woman with a career that requires me to be on the go all the time, I also love the outdoors , I swim and cycle. Having pain in my hip for years slowed me down and affected my sleep ,I was in denial in terms of facing up to the fact that it needed looking at. Professor Griffin was very reassuring and detailed what could be going on with my hip, and finally I had a hip Arthroscopy in London, all the staff alongside Professor Griffin were amazing . Professor Griffin also recommended a local physiotherapist ( Paul Rastrick) who was equally amazing and played a massive part in my rehabilitation I will always recommend Professor Griffin and I only wish I saw him earlier and had my operation earlier, that would have saved me years of pain and sleepless nights Thank you Professor Griffin for giving me back my smile :)
