Mr Simon Ellis

Written by a patient at Spire Alexandra Hospital

Hi, I had my left knee replaced on 11 March 2020 at Spire Alexandra. Simon Ellis is the surgeon who operated on me. Nothing but excellence is how I describe my experience under his care and also the hospital. Everything worked tick-tock as he had predicted and told me. Post operative care was excellent too. I noticed that even in comparison to last year when I had my right knee replaced so many improvements have taken place. For example, last year I had only 17 staples on my knee and it took a lot longer for the surface wound to heal but this year I had 33 and the closeness of staples to each other meant that it had healed perfectly by the time they were removed in 2 weeks! Another example is that last year I was asked to wear the embolism stockings which were quite a nightmare for my husband to peel off and put it on me everyday. This year, I noticed that the stockings were no longer a requirement - excellent step forward. The third improvement I noticed was the design of the Cryocuff. Smaller but better fabric/material and so much more efficient. I also had very few bruises after the operation. Once again thanks to the dexterity, nimble work of Simon's magic fingers. His team of anesthetists and nurses were also supremely efficient, kind and always willing to listen. In particular I had Zach, the senior nurse who inserted the catheter in the post operative period so well that I had no urinary tract infection symptoms this year. I am most grateful to Simon and his team for their excellent healing touches and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a knee replacements. Dr Padma Anagol

Having recently been discharged by Mr Simon Ellis at Kim’s Hospital following knee replacement surgery in November, I would like to say the treatment I received from him and the hospital was of the highest level. From my very first meeting with Mr Ellis when he explained various treatments and options for my knee, I was shown patience, understanding and above all kindness. In a very short time after examination etc the surgery was carried out and as a result I now have my life back and able to walk quite normally without pain - this is all due to the wonderful treatment I received from Simon Ellis.

Mr Ellis is a really nice surgeon. Always listens sympathetically to my concerns. His care of me both preoperative and postoperative has been top class. I would highly recommend him for knee replacement.

What can I say... Mr Ellis is an amazing consultant and Surgeon. I felt extremely confident and at ease and once I explained my knee issue, he immediately knew what the problem was and arranged for an MRI and yes, a torn menisci on my left knee. Surgery was arranged and within 7 days, I was pretty much back to normal and back to work after 10 days. Bearing in mind my operation was mid Feb and I do not have any issues whatsoever. I fully recommend if anyone has knee problems, Simon is the man to see, very professional, knowledgeable and puts you first at all times. Thank you for everything Regards Sarah

Six weeks after my second knee replacement and I able to walk pain free , thanks to Mr Ellis and his staff. Right from the beginning he took time to talk everything through so I knew exactly what to expect , can’t fault his care.
