My local GP referred me to Mr Ellis who saw me initially on the 17/10/2017. As my wife already had an operation date for the 17/01/2018 Mr Ellis was able to fix an Operation date for a Total Knee replacement on 11/12/2017. This was to enable me to look after my wife after her own surgery. The whole experience was positive and the treatment I was given was second to none. Mr Ellis phoned my wife to tell her everything went well and I was in recovery. During the recovery I had a ’bleed’ and the dressing had to be changed and on the second occasion Mr Ellis decided that I had unfortunately developed a Haematoma which required to be operated on. Mr Ellis immediately arranged for a theatre later that evening and washed out the new knee joint and inserted a drain. I am now recovering well (06/01/2018) and am able to walk without crutches although my knee is still swollen restricting my flexing of the knee joint to approximately 45-50 degrees. This I expect to improve as the swelling goes down. Overall the care and attention provided by Mr Ellis, all the nursing staff, theatre team and auxiliary staff were exceptional and couldn’t be faulted.
