Having suffered with knee problems all my life (currently 53yrs old), I have finally found a surgeon who not only listens but has been able to diagnose my problem and put a plan into action. I cannot recommend Mr Ellis highly enough, thank you so very much.

Mr Ellis is a real gentleman, very professional and dedicated to his patients. Mr Ellis has performed a complete knee replacement on me and i am very pleased with the outcome of my operation x The scar is very neat and has healed exceptionally well over the past weeks. Mr Ellis has seen me on several occasions and has only signed me off from his care when we were both satisfied with my recovery. I would definitely recommend Mr Ellis to anybody in need of superior care. I cannot thank Mr Ellis enough for the way he looked after me throughout my treatment. I am definitely returning to Mr Ellis to have my other knee operated on in the future.

As a patient, on this occasion, Simon was so obliging in helping me to arrange an MRI immediately, understanding how important to me it was that I could discuss the issue with no haste and complete empathy. Referral for an MRI was immediate with no delay. Thank you so much

Response from Mr Simon Ellis

Thank you so much for this feedback, ensuring that patients have time to discuss all the issues is very important to ensure the correct information for the radiologists to review the MRI scan images. With kind regards SImon Ellis
