Professor Ewen Griffiths

After suffering gallbladder attacks in May and being turned down for gallbladder surgery by the NHS due to my complex medical history and high-risk factors, I was relieved to be treated by Professor Griffiths at The Harborne Hospital. I had robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which although was slightly more complex, was successfully performed by Professor Griffiths. At my recent follow-up, he took the time to explain everything including the histology perfectly, which gave me total peace of mind. I am now completely pain-free. The entire hospital team was great and I cannot thank Professor Ewen Griffiths and the team enough, with special mention to anaesthetist Dr Jaimin Patel, nurses Joreen and Catherine, and Mr Griffiths' Secretary Rachael for the exceptional care I received during my gallbladder surgery on 14th August at the Harborne Hospital. I cannot recommend Professor Ewen Griffiths highly enough.

I had a great experience with Professor Griffiths, from my original consultations where he explained everything very clearly to me and put my mind at rest, to the procedure itself that went perfectly to the follow up he was fantastic. Very nice guy, clearly an excellent surgeon I’m very pleased with the outcome, thank you!

From the moment of arrival and the greeting we had from a man who presented himself as ‘head of hotel services’ we felt the anxiety of a hospital stay beginning to ebb away. The nursing staff were courteous and caring, the anaesthetist and the doctor we saw post surgery were both excellent. Professor Griffith was marvellous and overall the experience was as good as it gets. We have made our views known to family and friends and are reassured in having such an excellent facility as Harborne Hospital on our doorstep.

It was a pleasure to be under the care of Mr. Griffiths and his team. One never feels rushed and any concerns are timely addressed. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere and the supporting facilities are of very high standard. Thanks to everyone.

Professor Griffiths was extremely professional, friendly and fully described my issue and the surgery options to correct it. He went over the risks, recovery time in detail and it gave me a great level of confidence.

NHS had rejected me for gallbladder surgery due to my BMI, sleep apnoea and bronchiectasis. I was reassured by Professor Griffiths that I could have surgery and was not as high a risk as the NHS made me feel.

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.

Excellent service

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.
