Explanation

I met Miss Grimes in September when I came for a recent consultation which in the end meant that I needed surgery. She was warm, open, down to earth with a good sense of humour. Most importantly, she was approachable. She carried out a thorough investigation and explained the process making time to address questions from me and my family. I had complete confidence that she had my interests at heart and she made the process so much easier than it might have been.

Explanation

I have been under Miss Grimes care for the past few years intermittently for on - going abdominal issues secondary to previous history of traumatic gynaecology surgery which has resulted in significant adhesions and bowel issues. This lead to referral to the surgical team and I have been very fortunate to have been referred to Miss Grimes. During my time I have found Miss Grimes consistently person - centred, empathetically respectful, use of highly developed personalised skills and effective focused listening skills that ensures my concerns and fears are heard. In addition Miss Grimes practice reflects problem - solving and supportive care through discussion whilst exploring risks and benefits of all options offered allowing shared collaboration and support in the decision - making process. Miss Grimes practice demonstrates substantial knowledge, skills, integrity and experience, skills and performance including safety and quality which promotes trust as a patient. On a personal level I have found Miss Grimes caring, considerate, proactive, compassionate, kind, self - aware, supportive and an effective reflector. Miss Grimes is an outstanding clinician and I have nothing but admiration.
