Mr Ellis recently performed an arthroscopy on my knee. The surgery was superb and my knee is recovering well. At short notice, Mr Ellis also made himself available for a discussion about some concerns I had regarding some bruising. He also promptly organised an ultra sound scan to check for any complications. I could not have wished for better care and advice than I received. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the care I provided. When I operate on patients I take on the responsibility for ongoing care following surgery which means allaying anxieties when needed. I am glad that you are pleased with your outcome. with kind regards Simon Ellis

Mr Ellis was extremely kind and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He explained the problem clearly in simple terms and made sure that I understood the plan for my treatment. I would certainly recommend him.

Thank you for leaving your feedback. I am sorry that your recovery was complicated by the DVT and other complications which sadly couldn't have been avoided, however for me it is the management of these issues which is most important and going the extra mile is all part of the service for me. with kind regards and very Happy Christmas.

My Knee Replacement has been a total success, returning to work in January. 6 weeks after operation. The entire experience has been very professional, all the staff here very attentive, any concerns after at home,have been handled by staff on the ward over the phone. Physio has been very helpful in my full recovery. Mr Ellis puts you at ease, listens to any concerns, & has the experience to ensure a successful operation. certainly looking to have the other knee replaced at Kims
