Returning to his office after tests Mr Tuffaha confirmed that I had breast cancer.The fear of the word cancer and the unknown future treatment was absolutely terrifying but his relaxed attitude and positive comments gave me total confidence in him and the treatment he was suggesting. He performed my operation and I still have a breast ( although smaller) and the result is amazing.
The treatment I've received from Mr Tuffaha and everyone at Ipswich Hospital has been extremely good.
Mr Tuffaha gave me what felt like a personal service, he even called me to see how I was doing, he gave me reassurance when I really needed it, he made me laugh when I was frightened and I felt so comfortable in his care and trusted him 100%, my surgery went well (mastectomy and immediate reconstruction) the results are amazing! If ever I had to have breast surgery again I would personally request for Mr Tuffaha to carry it out. You don't meet many health professionals who appear to genuinely care for their patients, this man does, I was lucky to be one of them.
He has been very understanding and I have great trust in his work. I would strongly recommend people to be a patient of his.
Mr Tuffaha what a lovely man, he was involved with my breast cancer operation in July 2018 at Ipswich Hospital. Mr Tuffaha had to give me my diagnosis and was professional at all times but very friendly, open and informative and he listened to what I was saying too. He saw me pre-op to prep me and whilst being very professional he was warm and friendly also and made me feel at ease and comfortable. My operation was successful and I now have great boobs, perfect size and shape for my body. Would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much.
I saw Mr Tuffaha on Dec 28th and he told me I had breast cancer but he could cure it. I had confidence in him and I saw him the morning of my operation .All went well during the op and I am now starting radiotherapy. He looked so pleased when he told me the cancer had gone. I really recommend Mr Tuffaha for any operation , he is very professional but friendly too. I can't thank him enough
