Mr Ellis is a great surgeon. He reassured any qualms I had concerning my operation. He has a calming nature, which put me at ease straight away. My procedure from pre-op to post op was excellent. I cannot praise him enough. I would certainly recommend him as a surgeon to anyone that needed an orthopaedic procedure.

Simon was considerate and instructive and has the quality to put you at ease immediately, which is very comforting in matters relating to health. There was no arrogance or self importance whatsoever and I considered he gave me an honest and helpful assessment of my knee issue which was exactly what I was seeking.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this feedback. We all live together but carry out different roles in life. As such it is really important to me that we are all equals. My role is to help patients to understand their knee issues in simple terms that we can all understand and I am delighted that this came across with you. With kind regards Simon Ellis

From the very first appointment with Mr Ellis i was treated with courtesy, respect, concern and genuine interest as well as with real knowledge and expertise. At all stages, Mr Ellis offered me good advice about the choices I could make and the likely outcomes of each choice. Having agreed on the need for a total knee transplant, the process followed the timetable and development in exactly the way that he said it would. I have no doubts that I could not have been in better hands throughout the process than with Mr Ellis and I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank him for his help and skill - my life is already much better than it was and I now have very realistic expectations that it will continue to improve. To be in good and skilful hands during medical treatment is what all would wish for - with Mr Ellis I knew I was in great hands!!
