Mr Simon Ellis gave me complete confidence from our first meeting. I had a right knee replacement and expected a painful recovery period. I understand that I still have a long way to go but It has been surprisingly painless and easy so far, after 5 weeks I am really pleased to have full mobility.
The care given by Mr Ellis and all of his team including the Nurses and Physio Staff is second to none and I believe the journey from Cornwall to Kent for this operation was the best decision I could have taken.

I have been very pleased with the standard of care and attention I received from Mr. Simon Ellis. His explanations have been clear and careful, he has answered all my questions, given me plenty of time, and was encouraging when I felt my recovery from a full knee replacement was going slowly. My knee is now more or less fully functional and I am very satisfied with the result of the operation. I would recommend Mr Ellis to anyone needing knee surgery and I thank him for his care.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with others. Knee replacement to every patient is a life event and recovery can be frustrating particularly in the early stages. It takes up to a year for recovery to reach an end-point. With kind regards Simon Ellis

My appointment started punctually at 15.45. After a consultation with Mr Ellis whom I found to be very understanding about my hearing problem, speaking clearly and concisely so that I understood what he was saying, I went for X rays on my knee. I returned to Mr Ellis to receive the results, he then advised me on my choices of treatment. He informed me of all aspects of the operation. I found him to be kind and compassionate at all times.
