Mr Ellis is a thoroughly pleasant, approachable and professional surgeon. I felt confident throughout all aspects of my treatment. Mr Ellis made me feel relaxed and not at all rushed during our consultations. As an NHS referred patient I didn't feel I was treated in any way differently to a private patient. The end result was a fully functioning knee. Perfect.

I saw Me Ellis on the 20/12/17 re my knee. I had a full and thorough appointment with him, in which I felt completely relaxed and confident in all that was discussed. Mr Ellis was very straight forward in his explanations and I left knowing exactly what had happened, and what would be happening. Thank you

Mr Ellis put me at ease from the very first appointment I had with him.When admitted to the spire his calming friendly yet professional approach relaxed both me and my family. Later when I needed reassurance (6weeks later) I was by no means treated as a'time waster' and again reassured by being given a full explanation. I felt that at all times I was listened to. Must say this man is not only exceptionally talented in theatre he is also a good human being. Merry Christmas to ALL the team

My 17 year old son had a knee injury and needed key hole surgery to tidy up the cartilage and wash it out. Mr Ellis made Lewis feel calm and comfortable. He explained everything that was going to happen before, during and after the operation. We were looked after all the time we were in their care. Thank you for taking care of my baby.

I've just had my first post op consultation following ACL reconstruction. As per previous consultations, all my questions were answered, and I was reassured by Mr Ellis's assessment and explanations.
