Specialist complex traumatic brain injury service

Dr Griffin is very pleased to announce that she has now opened a specialist traumatic brain injury/concussion clinic at Fortius Clinic Wimbledon (www.fortiusclinic.com)

Welcome

Dr Colette Griffin is a Consultant Neurologist who specialises in Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation. She trained in general medicine at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, Harvard Medical School and The Mayo Clinic before carrying out specialist neurological training at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Institute of Neurology, Queen Square.

Dr Griffin also assesses and manages people with a broad range of other general neurological symptoms and disorders. Dr Griffin will discuss the important aspects of your condition and treatment in clinic. This information will then be sent to your referrer and yourself.

When surgical intervention is required, a neurologist may refer the patient to a neurosurgeon. Dr Griffin has a close working relationship with a number of neurosurgical colleagues in central London and can advise on the best person to see if that is required.

A new appointment will take approximately 30 minutes and a follow up 15 minutes. Most patients will need a follow up appointment to review the results of any tests or to judge response to any treatment started.

Testimonials

“I was involved in a road traffic accident twelve months ago and suffered a severe head injury. Dr Griffin was able to formulate my rehabilitation plan with the multi-disciplinary team, and explain to me in detail the path that I would expect my recovery to follow. She was honest, also warning me that my neurorehabilitation would take many months. It was very reassuring to have this process explained to me, as this was the first time that a health professional had sat down and given me traumatic brain injury education. I continue to improve week by week. I am very grateful to Dr Griffin for her kindness and professionalism.”

JB, Weybridge.

“I fell off my bike six months ago, and sustained polytrauma with concussion. I had a long inpatient stay on a trauma ward at a Major Trauma Centre. As my injuries were so severe, my concussion was felt to be mild. I suffered multiple symptoms of fatigue, headaches, vertigo, brain fog and poor sleep for many weeks, until I saw Dr Griffin. She was able to reassure me. She educated me regarding the fact that my symptoms would settle with time, and she advised me to undertake a graded exercise treatment programme. I continue to work with my outpatient therapy team. I am delighted to say that I continue to improve day by day. Thank you Dr Griffin!”

CK, Ascot.

“I sustained a severe traumatic brain injury when I fell from my polo pony. I was delighted when Dr Griffin reviewed me. She assessed me, developed a treatment plan, and referred me for neurorehabilitation. Dr Griffin explained that my symptoms would start to improve once I started an inpatient neurorehabilitation interdisciplinary therapy programme. I am delighted that I continue to improve week by week, all thanks to Dr Griffin.”

JF, Midhurst.

“I had a rugby injury a year ago, and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury as well as a fractured shoulder. I was reviewed by Dr Griffin and she was able to develop a treatment plan to enable me to return to play. I have made an excellent recovery, and I still have outpatient specialist therapy with the multi-disciplinary therapy team. I have been able to return to playing with my team which is fabulous.

I am very grateful to Dr Griffin for making this happen!”

WB, Fulham.

“I recently had a skiing injury, and suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as multiple broken bones. Once I was transferred back home, I was reviewed by Dr Griffin. I am now making an excellent recovery, and am continuing to have outpatient specialist therapy with the multi-disciplinary therapy team. Although the road to recovery is long, I really appreciate the honesty that Dr Griffin was able to bring due to her vast experience in this area.”

WB, Fulham.
