I can't fault the royal . From my kids being born prem, to every visit and operation since 1972. To today, and the help and acceptance

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2022. I first met Mr Garreffa in one of the breast clinics which is when I received my diagnosis. Mr Garreffa was very caring, explained everything clearly, and took the time to answer any questions or concerns we had. Mr Garreffa spent quite a lot of time with us in the breast reconstruction clinics explaining in great detail about all my different options. He was very patient with me and was happy to answer all of the questions I had. I made a decision that the best option for me was a lumpectomy with a partial breast reconstruction (Chest wall perforator flap) followed by radiotherapy. The Chest wall perforator flap had been mentioned to me in a previous breast clinic but I didn't really understand what the procedure involved until I saw Mr Garreffa in the breast reconstruction clinic. I was quite scared about having this procedure done but after spending time with Mr Garreffa in the clinic I had a much better understanding of what was involved and felt very reassured about having the surgery done. Mr Garreffa is very professional, always has time for you and seemed to really care. Every appointment I have attended with Mr Garreffa I felt he knew my case in detail which was very important to me. The past year has been a difficult time but Mr Garreffa and his team made it much more bearable. I'm now a year on from my surgery and I am extremley pleased with the results. Mr Garreffa and his team have done an amazing job and I can't thank them enough.

Mr Garreffa is an exceptional individual. He communicates extremely well, engaging with his patients and displaying empathy and sensitivity. He is calm and reassuring, giving patients time and answering any questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and colleagues.

Mr Garreffa was incrediby professional and made every effort to ensure everything was explained clearly and I was comfortable. I really appreciated it as I think naturally one feels awkward in these situations but his professional, friendly manner put my mind at ease somewhat. Also I'd say he was thorough so I left feeling I'd received all possible examination and treatment which is giving further peace of mind.
