All too often surgeons are happy to rip you open - not Mr Ellis. Although I ruptured my PCL he offered me the opportunity to try and strengthen my knee without surgical intervention. I took this option, but ultimately his skills were required. As others have said, he explains the options, the procedures, expected results and the fact that it is a team effort to get the right result - the patient must also be prepared to put in the hard work pre and post surgery. He doesn't treat you as a job, but as a person who needs his help. Thank you Mr Ellis for your part in helping me recover - now it's up to me. But I promise I won't ski again!

Response from Mr Simon Ellis
Thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience under my care, it is much appreciated. Working as a surgeon it is very important recognizing when not to operate just as much as knowing when to proceed. Every patient requires a personalized approach. I am pleased that you are recovering well and understand that there is no substitue for following the rehabilitation. with kind regards Simon Ellis
