I cannot recommend Mr Ellis enough. Been waiting 10 months for treatment and he explained everything to me and gave me treatment all within an hour. I know what is happening and what could happen to me and he explained it in a way which i fully understood. He has a great friendly manner and wouldnt hesitate seeing him again!

Had an extremely helpful consultation with Mr. Ellis. He explained everything clearly and concisely after a thorough examination. He spent time making sure I understood his diagnosis and I felt very confident that I would be in safe hands! I had enough time to ask questions and discuss the treatment options. I can totally recommend Mr. Ellis - a very good "bedside" manner and someone who listens to his patients. Thank you!

Excellent conditions at Kims hospital for my knee operation and mr Ellis did a fantastic job whilst keeping me totally informed as to the procedure he intended to carry out and the feedback and after care i received. Would recommend Mr Ellis to anyone wishing to have knee surgery. Totally professional approach while adding the personal touch.

I was admitted for surgery on my knee on the 21st March 2018. The hospital KIMS were very professional and made my short stay very comfortable. I met with Mr Ellis in my room and he again explained the procedure to me and my partner. He was very thorough and took his time and put me at ease and gave me a time when I would be going down for my operation. The timing was spot in and was taken down to the theatre. I was put at ease by a very professional team. After the surgery Mr Ellis phoned my partner himself to inform her how things went. He then visited me later that afternoon to explain how the operation went in great detail. I have since seen Mr Ellis as an outpatient to confirm everything is healing well. Mr Ellis is a first class surgeon and please do not hesitate to have surgery done by him. Thank you Mr Ellis for looking after me I have had first class surgery and treatment. Please pass my thanks on to everyone at KIMS. Thank you again.
