Reviews
Very professional and courteous. Had my MRI scans, which had only been done 2 days before. Went through my scans, discussed treatment options and was really informative. Also listened to my experiences and what my lifestyle is like with regards to treatment options and recovery.
Informative about the procedure and fully able to answer all questions I had
Gave me full confidence in the procedure and all went very smoothly
Dr Briggs was excellent at explaining the procedure, managing expectations and following up shortly after my procedure was completed.
My experience was, and is, very positive. I have found Dr Briggs very easy to talk to, and he listens well, which I’m incredibly grateful for. I found his manner steady and reassuring. I’m grateful to the entire team who placed my care under Dr James Briggs. Thank you.
Dr James Briggs was very professional and made me feel at ease throughout the procedure and during my recovery. I really appreciate the follow-up call after I returned home from hospital to check I was recovering well., and especially the additional support when he called back on Saturday while I was experiencing severe pain. The nursing and operating staff at Princes Grace Hospital were also outstanding and I felt very well cared for throughout my treatment.
I would rate my whole treatment as very good. I appreciated the clear explanation of what to expect and how it was going to affect me. Dr. Briggs listened to my concerns and answered all my questions
My recent visit was outstanding. I was treated with dignity and received thorough information and explanations regarding the treatment prior to the procedure. Dr. Brighs was exceptionally kind and understanding. I express my gratitude to Dr. Brighs and pray that Almighty God blesses him abundantly. I was experiencing significant stress due to my health issues related to fibroids, but following the procedure, I feel much improved and believe I have regained my life. Thank you very much, Dr. Briggs.
Attentive medical care and excellent communication throughout under Mr Briggs care. Highly recommended.
