Mr Ellis was attentive to all my needs, I could not recommend him any more. He was very good at explaining everything to me in plain English so I understood everything that was to happen. He is a very nice and caring chap.

Today i met Mr Ellis for a consultation regarding my knee and in all honesty i was slightly nervous as i am a fitness instructor and i was worried about how my injury could impact on my job. However, i needn't of worried as on meeting Mr Ellis, i immediately felt at ease and the nerves disappeared, i instantly knew i was in the company of a very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable doctor. It is such a blessing when you have a doctor that explains everything to you in such great detail and takes the time to listen. I am 100% sure that Mr Ellis will get me back on track as soon as possible. Many thanks

I am just so grateful to have had Mr Simon Ellis as my surgeon and consultant. I have attended him over the past years with knee problems and in April I had the right knee replaced. He fills me with the utmost confidence as I know that I am in the best of hands with his treatment. Last week I attended my six month appointment - probably my final one. As usual, Mr Ellis listened to me, appreciated my worries and concerns and then put those worries and concerns to rest. I feel that he has come to know me and to know what worries me and is therefore able to reassure me. Thank Mr Ellis for your excellent treatment and for your care.

Mr Simon Ellis has a special personal and professional gift for explaining the whole picture and all the finer details of the procedure. He and his team treated me with much kindness and dignity. I was looked after so well from start to finish on the day of my meniscus tear surgery on 24/10/19. I feel privileged and grateful to have seen by you all. As yet, I am still experiencing pain and weakness in the knee and am unable to walk without a cane. Mr Ellis took time to explain that, due to osteoarthritis in the joint, recovery would be more complex and knee replacement may well be the final solution because of this. However, I begin physiotherapy this on 7/11/19 so hopefully things will improve from there on. Once again, I can’t thank you all enough for your kindness and exemplary service. Thank you all so very much.

Thank you very much for leaving this positive feedback even though your knee has not yet fully recovered and you are still experiencing some ongoing pain. I am however pleased that you feel my involvement and explanation has been so helpful. In my experience understanding the issues is really helpful. I will pass your comments on to the rest of the team involved in your care. With kind regards Simon Ellis
