I have been recommended to Mr Ellis by a friend who him self was treated by Mr Ellis. I am 51 years old female when I was 18 years old I fully snapped my Anterior cruciate ligament at that time I was referred by my GP to an orthopaedic doctor soon after he sent me to see a physio I was not diagnosed properly I was told I had sprained a ligament in my knee and needed to follow a exercise regime to help my knee the physio did help but as soon I would play sports I would be in pain and the stability of my knee was very poor I kept suffering all this years with pain and every time I complained to my GP he would referred me to see a physio which got me to a point that I decided to suffer and not waist my time also I had to give up certain exercise or sports that would aggravate my knee. Last year I was on holiday In Portugal when my knee got very swallow and in a lot of pain so I decided to pay privately for MRI which showed lots of damage to my ligaments meniscus and full snap of my Anterior cruciate ligament after paying privatly to see x2 surgeons both would operate but I did not felt at easy so when a friend told me about Mr Ellis I decided to pay for one more consultation to make up my mind as soon I attend MR Ellis clinic I felt confident to have my operation with him he was very knowledgeable friendly he explained all about my knee and all about the operation. My operation was in May I can not praise Mr Ellis enough I had arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction anterior lateral ligament reconstruction and lateral and medial meniscal tear resected yes it was very painful after surgery Mr Ellis done everything on his power to help me with the pain but for some reason my body rejected all the painkillers given. Mr Ellis was very kind and caring I felt I was in good hands from the time I have meet Mr Ellis he was very reassuring competent and professional me been a therapist I tend to ask few questions but Mr Ellis was very clear and patiently clarified all my queries. Four months have passed now and I am doing very well I can walk jump dancing and no pain my knee feels stable! wow! wow! wow! to Mr Ellis unbelievable how well I am doing I am thinking to join a net ball team no way I would even consider this before my knee operation. A big thank you to Mr Ellis.

I have been referred to Mr Ellis twice this year and underwent total knee placement at The Spires Hospital in Walderslade. From my first consultation with Mr Ellis to my follow up appointments I cannot praise this surgeon enough. Mr Ellis is very professional but likewise has a way of explaining the procedures and aftercare in a way that put my mind at rest and made me feel less nervous. The care I received from him and all the nursing staff at The Spires was exceptional and would recommend Mr Ellis to anyone else who is thinking of having knee surgery in the future. Many thanks, Paul Crump

I was extremely lucky to be referred to the Spire Alexandra hospital by my GP. There I met Mr Ellis and was struck by how professional, competent and kindly he was. He performed a total knee replacement for me and was reassuring and answered the questions I had. I have just had my six week check up with Mr Ellis and again he was thorough in his examination and made time to chat and answer my queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Ellis to other people needing knee surgery as I felt very safe and cared for with him.

I have heard/read that the knee is possibly the most complicated of all human joints and hence surgery on it is challenging to the most nimble-handed surgeon. I am fortunate to be assigned to Simon by the NHS who is knowledgeable, self introspective and caring at the same time. My meetings with him were not just wonderfully informative but he also answered questions with patience and cleared doubts with similar eloquence. I come from an academic background and tend to ask a lot of questions and do not take anything for granted. This is why I found Simon's approach excellent in that he did not 'talk down' at me but handled my queries with respect and courtesy like a thorough professional. His notes are exemplary. Very detailed and something that I could show my employer too without hesitation. The timetable was followed diligently and he has assured me that the right knee which was replaced in June 2019 will only get better and settle down within a year. Can't wait! I would like my left knee to be operated by him and his team now. I recommend his services to one and all who have to put up with the miseries caused by arthritis. Staff at Spire Alexandra were also excellent and the hospital is clean and welcoming.
