It was the first time I had met Mr Ellis & was very impressed with his manner & made me feel at ease. Although eventually I will have to have a knee replacement, I will feel confident in having Mr Ellis to do the surgery. He answered all my questions & has put in place a plan over the next few months until my surgery.

I’ve just had my last post op consultation today with Mr. Ellis and I am sad not to be seeing him again (I hope for a long time). I cannot praise him enough you will be in good hands if you need his help. Since my knee replacement I have been pain free I never thought that would happen I have my life back and I feel like the old me pre osteoarthritis. Mr. Ellis is a thoroughly lovely man, he cares ..... a lot. Xxxx

From my initial consultation Mr Ellis displayed pure professionalism. Having explained everything to me and put me at ease. As a NHS referred patient I was not treated any differently as a private patient. Mr Ellis is a very talented and exceptional gentleman and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I well on the road to recovery and I cannot thank him enough. All the staff at Kimms were so very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Big Pat on the Backs to everyone.

A warm and generous man who appears to care about me as an individual. Unlike many 'professionals', he is approachable and 'down to earth'. I feel in very safe hands.

I met Mr Simon Ellis two weeks' ago for the first time with regards to a recurrence of an old knee problem. Mr Ellis was very thorough and very clear in his explanation of his examination and as has been said before treated me as if I was his only patient despite his busy clinic schedule. I look forward to meeting with him again next week with the results of my MRI and x-ray and his advice as to what to do going forward. I know that I am in trustworthy hands - just get that feeling!!
