I have always played sports and enjoyed keeping active and I am still just on the right side of 50. Unfortunately, I probably wasn’t made as well as most people and consequently, I have had many knee operations, I had hip surgery on my right hip 6 years ago, and just now hip resurfacing on my left hip. I have experienced quite a few surgeons. So good ones, some great, and some excellent ones. Professor Damien Griffin is one of the excellent ones. He operated on my right hip 6 years ago and there was no one else that I wanted to treat my left hip this time. Surprisingly, after all my operations I am squeamish whenever surgery is discussed or on television. However, I have never felt squeamish when Damien has been discussing surgery and the procedures. As Damien explains the surgery you realise how well-planned the procedures are and I actually start to become fascinated by the engineering that goes into them. The attention to detail is brilliant and gives comfort and reassurance you are in excellent hands. I am now 6 weeks post-surgery, and everything feels great. The physio is boring but must be done and my biggest challenge now is being sensible and not overdoing the rehabilitation and exercise. For anyone requiring advice or surgery relating to their hips, I can highly recommend Damien as I know you would be under the best possible care.
