I would like to add my thanks to Mr Ellis after my knee replacement replacement in late July,he is a total professional together with a caring nature who always finds time to explain despite a busy work schedule.
Mr Ellis recently found a minor infection which others failed to spot and I now on my way to recovery and have complete confidence on the outcome due to his explanation in terms even I could understand.
Thanks again Mr Ellis to you and your team together with a great sense of humour.

Thank you very much for this review, it is much appreciated. My mum has always said 'laughter is the best form of medicine' which rings true today just as it was when she was a ward sister many years ago. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I had my full knee replacement operation in August and all went well. Care in the hospital was exceptional and I was very satisfied with all of it.
I am now 7 weeks into rehab and, although I am not as far along the road as I hoped I would be, I am confident that my knee will be in full working order before too long. I saw Mr Ellis at the 6-week examination and he answered all my questions, giving me plenty of time and clear explanations. Overall, this has been a good experience and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Ellis.

Thank you very much for writing your review. I am delighted that the experience of having a knee replacement was good. At 7 weeks the recovery is still ongoing with the majority of patients happy by 3 months but it does take up to a year to reach an endpoint. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I am absolutely delighted with my left knee replacement that I had done at KIMS by Mr Ellis in June 2018. Its now 16 weeks since I had the knee replacement and I am now walking pain free without any crutches or walking stick (something I have not been able to so for the last 6 months.)
Mr Ellis is the perfect gentleman who listens and explains everything in great detail which gives you confidence in a man who really cares about your well being.
I would highly recommend Mr Ellis to anyone who is suffering from knee problems.
The treatment and care I received during my short stay at KIMS was faultless.

I first met Mr.Ellis some years ago when he carried out a total replacement of my left knee.When my right knee began to deteriorate and another total replacement was necessary I had no hesitation in asking Mr.Ellis to again perform the surgery.As before I felt very safe and confident in his care.He explained everything in detail regarding the procedure in a friendly and informative manner which any lay person would appreciate and understand.
He allayed my anxiety greatly and particularly so on the morning of the operation and my grateful thanks go to him and his supporting team at Kims.
