Mr Ellis is a kind and considerate consultant . He replaced my left knee 13 years ago and my right knee in 2016. I have several other medical conditions that could have caused complications. Despite this he still undertook my procedures explaining everything thoroughly but professionally. I felt so reassured and have no hesitation in recommending him. What a lovely man!

Mr Ellis is a very kind and helpful consultant. He gave my 80 year old aunt a knee replacement in October 2017 and we had an appointment with him last week for another follow up consultant. Although he was running late, he couldn't apologise enough and still had time to give my aunt the time she needed. He has made her feel as though she is his only patient throughout her treatment. We would highly recommend Mr Eillis.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I always feel bad when I run late but appreciate that medicine cannot be timed accurately and every patient has different needs and the time to answer their individual questions. with kind regards Simon Ellis

I was a patient of Mr Ellis in 2012 for a right knee replacement. I received excellent service from him and found Mr Ellis to be the extreme professional . He is very approachable in his manner and listens to your concerns attentively and endeavours to allay any fears you may have by explaining the overall situation in layman's language, thus enabling a full understanding of the proposed procedure. I found him to be a kind, sincere and caring man and would certainly would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Mr. Ellis is a warm engaging professional who makes you feel at ease from the moment you meet him. Everything is explained in detail from the issue itself and what will be done to resolve it. I met him for the first time last week and already trust that I will be in good hands when I return to him for surgery.

Mr Ellis is one of the best doctors/consultant I have ever encountered , he is thorough, detailed in his explanation but also talks to you in plain English. This is the second time I have been referred to Mr Ellis and I was so pleased as I knew I would get well looked after. I would recommended Mr Ellis to anyone.
