Mr Ellis is wonderful! Throughout the course of my treatment his calm and reassuring manner and his clear explanations have given me absolute confidence of the best possible care and outcome. I have also found it reassuring that Mr Ellis and his team are so well organised, efficient and thorough in terms of administration/paperwork. I would have no hesitation recommending Mr Ellis and his superb team.

Mr Ellis, explained the total knee replacement operation thoroughly and also the possible outcomes of the operation, clearly and in layman terms, especially with my past history of osteomyelitis, he organised an MRI to check as much as possible for any dormant infection. I have now had the operation and after several bedside visits by Mr Ellis was discharged 2 days later. Mr Ellis has a very reassuring presence and will always give you alternatives where possible. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I found Mr Ellis to be very informative, kind and reassuring. I would have no hesitation in recommending him or (if the need arose) to use him again. He listened to me and my husband and we both felt he wished to do the best for me. Having a knee replacement is a big operation and he and his team treated me with the utmost respect but were friendly and informal too

I am struggling to find enough words of praise for Mr Ellis and his team at Kims hospital. As a reluctant and nervous 76 year old, "Total reassurance and genuine concern" is a phrase that springs to mind. I have now had both right and left total knee replacement Ops this year carried out by this genuine, talented surgeon (one in January and the second just this week) and consequently can now look forward to a better quality of life in my senior years. Thank you so much.
