I would repeat my previous entry in that I am so grateful to again have the ability to walk in the knowledge that the amount of pain experienced before and just after my total knee replacement should continue to reduce over the next several months. Thanks again for giving me my life back. What a shame our NHS was not able to do this for me.

Mr Ellis performed a revision acl on my left kne 10/4/18. I took my hubby along on the 30/4/18 for my first follow up since my op. Mr Ellis was once again warm, friendly and straight talking. I had a few questions of which he put me at ease straight away with his answers. He took the time to show my hubby exactly what was done to my knee and the “parts” used and how they were situated in my knee. Nothing seems to be too much trouble to explain or answer for Mr Ellis. I look forward to my next follow up in June.

Mr Ellis was very approachable and made me feel relaxed. He sent me for more x Ray's and then explained fully the problem. He then discussed the procedure for a knee replacement and offered advice what to do until my next appointment also listened to any worries l had. He did not rush the appointment and l felt he cared.
