Reviews
Mr Ellis was very clear when speaking, he checked both of my daughters knee. Mr Ellis explained very clearly what was wrong. He asked my daughter questions which she answered. Mr Ellis referred her to a physio and explained what would happen.
Mr Ellis performed a half knee replacement for me and right from the first consultation through to the very last was first class in everything he did for me - his surgery was excellent I was mobile immediately and my knee is hugely improved I was able to walk up to a couple of miles each day within 3 weeks without any issues - a testament to Mr Ellis's skills.
I have to say that the whole team at Kim's supporting him were also excellent in the care they provided - I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
Clear, concise, simple explanations and information about my knee issue and the options around it.
Even when I opted to try an alternative to his proposal there was no negativity sent my way or attempt to try and sway/force/guilt trip his opinion on me.
Instead it was simply ok so how best can I help you go in the direction you want to go and we will see if it works.
If it doesnt I can confidently say I will be going back to Simon for surgery as I feel informed and sure that he knows what he is saying and doing.
I've not been to a doctor in years due to bad experiences with them before this but if I would have seen Simon I never would have had this apprehension.
Highly recommended.
Mr. Ellis was very helpful and listened to me! He then recommended injections for the time being.
I have known Mr Simon Ellis for nearly 10 years and he has kept my knees intact during that time, but I finally needed a knee replacement, He was initially referred to me by an eminent neurosurgeon Richard Gullan. Outstanding skills matched with genuine nice guy approach. Nothing is to much trouble for him and his team. Thank you!
