I cannot fault the care I have received from Mr Ewen Griffiths. The whole process from initial consultation to surgery was very efficient and and professional. Communication with his secretary was excellent throughout. My surgery was very successful and I have been symptom free and off all medication from day 1. All that remains is for me to say thank you very much for resolving a problem that I have been suffering from for years!
