Great attention to detail, Simon is very professional, caring and considerate. I had an ACL reconstruction, the operation seems to have gone very well, the guide to recovery and list of exercises was excellent and sticking to the plan is producing good results. The recommendation of a great physio and follow-up consultations has given me great confidence in a full recovery. I would definitely use Simon again (though I very much hope I don't have to !) and would highly recommend him.
Many thanks to Simon and the whole top class team at KIMS.

Mr Simon Ellis , i cant praise you enough . Reassuring , calm yet with a professional manner. He visited me everyday after my operation and ensured i was on the right medication because of my allergy to lots of drugs. His operating team , highly professional and calm.
I would like to mention about KIMS hospital and the staff . If only i knew them all by name . The reception and pre-assessment staff were polite and competent ; the catering staff namely Petra, Helen , Erika and Magda were all so kind as were the cleaning staff. The chefs served good nourishing and quality food . A thank you to the the nursing staff , again nameless to me , except for Cynthia , her laughter was a tonic .The porters were gentle and caring and the car park and gardens were maintained to a high standard . After my discharge , i have been seeing Ian the physiotherapist who has been very helpful giving me lots of confidence . Lastly but not least , nurse Trina , who gently took out the 35 clips on my knee , thank you . All in all i would highly recommend KIMS hospital and its staff

Thank you very much for your very kind review. Clearly only 24 hours from surgery is very early days however I am delighted that you are recovering so quickly. With kind regards Simon Ellis

Lovely bloke, good social and listening skills. Had one knee cleaned out by Dr Ellis a few years ago and have driven two hours to talk to him about the other one as he did such a great job.

Mr Ellis carried out arthroscopy on my right knee in 2017 and also did a double arthroscopy in 2012 at somerfield hospital. unfortunately due to my arthritis there was not anymore Simon could do but did pass me on to another surgeon who has carried out a double osteotomy which so far has been a positive result . All that aside the care and explanation from Simon was excellent .

Thank you very much for writing this review, I am delighted that you have had a good result from the surgery carried out by my colleague. It is important to know the limits of one's own abilities and for me knee osteotomy was the best option for you but outside my scope hence the referral on to obtain the best outcome for you. With kind regards Simon Ellis
