Mr Griffiths always takes time to listen to me and provides different options for me to consider. He allows me to be fully involved in decisions about my treatment whilst recommending the best options for me. He is gentle, caring and put me at ease from the initial examination through to the operation itself. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs to see a gynaecologist or who needs a hysterectomy. My surgery was uneventful and recovery was straightforward. He explained everything at each stage and made time to see me after the surgery. I’m incredibly grateful to him for looking after me and resolving the problem.

Mr Griffiths is always very welcoming and always puts you at ease. He took the time to listen and reassure me and fully understood what I was going through, he sat down and explained all options with me and fully explained what was going to happen in great detail. I found him very easy to talk to and felt I was in the best possible hands. I’m now recovering and feel like a new woman and I would definitely recommend Mr Griffiths to anyone such a lovely man. Thank you for all you have done for me.

My experience with David Griffiths can only be described as a huge relief and comfort after previously seeing a consultant with zero bedside manor, and who gave nothing in the way of diagnosis or advice. David (and his team) offer compassion, understanding, as much advice as you could possibly need, and the comfort of knowing you will be looked after, not only the day you have booked in for an appointment - but each day in-between should you have a concern. I will be forever grateful that I found The Ridgeway Hospital and David Griffiths. I have been diagnosed with a condition that will need monitoring for life - David Griffiths has given me the reassurance that should I have a flare up, he, and his team, will be there to help me through it.

Mr Griffiths is always very welcoming and reassuring and he takes the time to talk things through and ensure I fully understand what we have discussed and the options available to me regarding treatment. I felt fully involved in the decisions about my condition and the next steps and this continued through my admission to hospital for the surgery and the aftercare. I have already, and will continue to, fully recommend Mr Griffiths.

My experience with Mr Griffiths was amazing from my first appointment, he listened and totally understood my symptoms. It was refreshing to have someone take me seriously and understand what I was going through and confirm that I would benefit from having a hysterectomy. He made me feel so comfortable talking things through, his gently manner and empathy was much appreciated as it's not an easy subject to talk to a male about. I cant thank him enough for making me feel at ease all the way through the procedure.

From my initial consultation with David he really listened to my concerns and addressed them before suggesting and medication or treatments. He was always honest with his thoughts and would answer all the questions I had (there were lots) on the day of the operation he was always checking to make sure I understood what was going to happen and that I was ok. He even called my husband after the operation to let him know all went well (nurse said he wouldn’t) He is always calm and friendly and would recommend to everyone!

From my first meeting with Mr Griffiths, I felt very comfortable and happy that he was looking after me. He has a kind and caring persona which comes across very quickly and makes you feel completely relaxed - I had no doubt I was in good hands. I was so pleased with everything he did for me and my whole experience was so much better than I anticipated. My full abdominal hysterectomy went very smoothly and, to my amazement, I didn't experience any pain whatsoever after my operation. I would highly recommend Mr Griffiths.

Having to have a hysterectomy comes with an assortment of emotional, physical & practical considerations. I came to Mr Griffiths for a second opinion as my first had been somewhat blunt and uninformative but, whilst the diagnosis remained the same, I very quickly knew that he was the surgeon with whom I felt comfortable, listened to and fully considered. Moreover he went above and beyond with extra care such as allowing me to retain my cervix and providing me with hormonal implants. I unfortunately required full, vertical abdominal surgery but, thanks to Mr Griffiths and his excellent team, the experience was made far easier than I had anticipated and 7 weeks post op I was on a beach sunning myself - in a bikini!

From my first consultation, the consultation with Dr. Griffiths has been great. I had many questions that were answered with care and compassion. Dr.Griffiths thoroughly explained my options and spent time answering my many questions and concerns. Dr. Griffiths went the extra mile to ensure my hysterectomy was performed through keyhole rather than cesarean, saving me weeks of recovery pain and time. I happily recommend using Dr. Griffiths for Gynaecology procedures.

Superb experience from start to finish. Would recommend Dr Griffith 100 percent.
