Mr Ellis was brilliant. Listen to me fully at the referal appointment and made recommendations for surgery. He thoroughly explained the procedure. On the day of the operation he confirmed what he was going to be doing. The team he had with him on the day were also fabulous friendly and professional and fully explained everything . My op went well and on discharged Mr Ellis fully explained his finding and my future prognosis. I'll eventually need a full knee replacement. And when I do I really want Mr Ellis to do that operation!

I came to see Mr Ellis following knee injury a day before. Mr Ellis gave me all the time to listen, examine me. He fully involved me in the decision for my injury. I highly recommend Mr Ellis for anyone.

Simon was thorough and Listened and explained perfectly. He could have offered surgery, I suspect others might have, but said he felt it inappropriate at the present time. If it were himself he would not want it. I appreciate his honesty.

Thank you very much for this review. Giving the right opinion for every patient is really important. Surgery is often not the best option, understanding and making the right choice is key. With kind regards Simon Ellis
