Had my arthroscopy 3/7/18, I met Mr Ellis after different scans/X-rays etc. After thinking I had to have a knee replacement, he offered this procedure and I’m glad I went with his advice. Felt very comforted by his advice and everything was explained pre-procedure and after.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and write this review. I am pleased that the choice of arthroscopy over knee replacement has worked well for you and has proved the right option. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I found Dr Ellis a good listener and I wasn't rushed at anytime he read the other doctors notes before commentating on my procedure all that's left is to have it done on the 9th October.

Having had arthroscopy operations several years ago done by Mr. Ellis I realised the time had come for more serious investigation with left knee becoming more painful
and needing buggy to play a round of golf!!!
Had consultation and scan and Mr Ellis recommended total knee replacement to left knee.
Operation booked at Kim's Hospital under NHS system last week ( July 10 ). Great facilities at Kim's and very helpful caring staff in every department.
Operation went well and Mr Ellis,s positive attitude at every step helped my recovery.
Now 3 days back home and am now using a walking stick having put away the crutches .I am positive that the excercise regime recommended before the operation helped and have carried on with these at home.
With best regards to Mr Ellis and all Kim's staff - Maurice Pattenden

I have great faith in both Mr Ellis and Kims hospital. Received great care whilst there and since leaving hospital.
Mr Ellis has gone to great lengths to explain what the operation entailed and physical department are helping me get back to my normal self. After six weeks I was able to drive once more and drove to the New Forest for my holiday. Thanks everyone.
