I found Mr Ellis a very sincere consultant in everything he said and did. I have had a complete knee replacement and it was only just over a week ago. I am making good progress and am weight bearing already. Mr Ellis's style and communication skills are excellent and I can not praise him enough. He is also the head of a great team at KIMS. Thank you.

I met with Mr Ellis in August to agree a operation date. I had my partial knee replacement done in early October. After 4 weeks I am making good progress and the knee feels good. Although it's early days I do feel confident my knee will make a good recovery. I have a follow up appointment in November which I'm confident will confirm the progress I have made. Mr Ellis is a first class surgeon who I highly recommend and his aftercare is excellent. Thank you Mr Ellis.

I found Mr Ellis friendly and easy to talk to. He explained everything about the operation in a way that my husband and myself could understand. In the follow up appointments he reassured me on any of the concerns I had.

I am so glad that I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr. Simon Ellis. I am truly grateful for the care and treatment I received from him. Having spent many months in extreme pain and discomfort I am now pain free. Every time I met Mr. Ellis, he was always extremely thorough, constantly reassuring me.

I believe I was very fortunate to have Simon Ellis as my surgeon. I have never known such compassionate care from a doctor. Mr Ellis listens intently, takes care to explain what is happening throughout examination and continues to be extremely informative after surgery. I am 12 weeks post surgery and improving each week. I highly recommend Mr Ellis.
