Professor Ewen Griffiths gives clear explanations and provides excellent care to patients. He offers comprehensive details for procedures such as hernia repair, esophagectomy, and gallbladder removal. Patients report receiving effective support from initial consultation through to recovery, often highlighting the efficient communication from his secretary Rachael. His practice excels in common gastrointestinal issues including various endoscopy procedures, hernia conditions, and treatments for gallstones.
I had a gallbladder surgery, with admittance e around noon and going home by 5pm. Overall all personel were very kind and professional, with clear and friendly communication, making me feel very cared for. The nurses in particular provided amazing care.
Professor Griffiths completed a successful hernia repair for me. He was clear regarding my options at my initial consultation, and immediately gained my confidence. Arrangements for surgery via his secretary were efficient and straightforward. The surgery itself was a success and, following his advice, my recovery has been smooth and without complication to date.
Thank you Professor Griffiths for seeing me on Tuesday 13th January. I have already had an appointment come through for a stomach and pelvis scan on 29th January at the QE requested by you. Thank you . Would you send me an invoice for your fee please. Kind regards Linda C.
Professor Griffiths and his team performed esophagectomy surgery on 24.11.25. I was informed in advance about the procedure and the operation was very successful. At all times Professor Griffiths acted with utmost professionalism and his knowledge and skills gave me total confidence in the surgical procedure. Post operation was supportive with daily meetings in ICU and the ward. The recovery has been quick and down to the skills of the Professor and his team coupled with the care of the doctors and nurses at the ICU and ward.
I am very pleased to hear about your positive feedback and I'll pass this on to other members of the team. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Excellent care and service provided by Professor Griffiths and his secretary Rachael. Cannot fault either of them for their prompt efficiency at all times.
