Where to start, Mr Ellis was clear, precise and didn't waste time. It was clear that he had studied my medical history in detail. It was also evident that he knew what was required. In all Mr Ellis was aware what was required and carried out his work extremely well. Thank you.

Response from Mr Simon Ellis

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback for others to share. It is very important to me that I have the time before seeing people to review all of the history available so that I am able to give undivided attention and not spend time looking through records. An accurate history is essential to achieving the best outcome. I hope the reference to not wasting time was a positive experience. I am pleased you felt satisfied with the outcome. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I have seen many doctors over last few years but none have been as thorough as Mr Ellis, I came away with total understanding of my condition and proposed treatment. Mr.Ellis came across as the ultimate professional and had a very kind and caring approach. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Ellis to any of my friends if his field of services were required ..10/10

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Mr Ellis by so many on this website. From the moment I met Mr Ellis and his warm welcome to not only me but my wife I felt totally at ease even before my consultation. He gave me many options available for my treatment and explained them clearly and concisely. We agreed on a total knee replacement would be my best procedure, He was totally committed to my welfare and understood my concerns which he put at ease with his clear explanation. On the day of my surgery the procedure from booking into KIMS to being shown to my room, meeting all the fantastic staff and eventually having my operation was faultless, I was continually being reassured and again everything was explained in such great clarity. The whole team lead by Mr Ellis remained professional throughout, my welfare was at the forefront of all that happened, nothing was to much for the staff, every need is catered for. I really can not thank Mr Ellis and his amazing team enough. Thank you. Paul Brosnan

Paul, Thank you very much for this really kind review. I take great pride in providing the highest level of care. I am well aware of the stresses of sitting on the 'patient side' having been there myself. I am delighted that your personal experience was so positive. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I cannot fault my experience during the consultation. Mr Ellis has an open, friendly manner and is an excellent listener. He was thorough in his examination of the events leading to the knee injury and of the knee itself. His explanations of the injury and possible treatments were clear and easy to understand. Throughout the consultation he was caring, solicitous and reassuring which meant my concerns were allayed and my confidence in a positive outcome increased. A huge 'thank you' to him!

I was referred to Mr Ellis from Medway Hospital and was impressed at the speed in seeing me at KIMS Hospital to assess my knee condition. I found him friendly and approachable and he gave me the information about pending surgery that gave me complete trust in the procedure that will be carried out.
