Thank you so much, I really appreciate this lovely feedback it makes looking after patients all the more rewarding. I will pass your comments on to the hospital staff as without their care none of this would be possible. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I am a 77 year old male who was struggling with arthritic knee joints prior to being referred by my GP. My fear of corrective surgery had kept me in pain and struggling to walk normally for many years!
Mr Simon Ellis is a genuine, honest gentleman who, whilst reassuring me, was honest and straightforward with the pros and cons of what was needed by way of the surgical procedures at our first meeting. He carried out total knee replacement operations to both my knees this year, one in January and the second in July, and I can honestly recommend this surgeon hand on heart.

I’ve had ongoing issues with my arthroscopy which was out of Mr.Ellis control and the aftercare I have received from him was very professional and caring.
Would highly recommend.

Having been pushed from pillar to post by my own GP surgery, I decided to seek private consultation for my knee issue and was referred privately by my physiotherapist to KIMs. My appointment was with Mr Ellis. Mr Ellis came out and greeted me, led me into his consulting room and then asked me to tell him about the issues I had with my knee. Mr Ellis listened to me, at no time making me feel that I shouldn't be there, at no time telling me that I was "at that stage in life", or "it's down to your age", at no time did he make me feel written off as happened so many times in the passed. I left my appointment feeling happier that, at last, someone was going to help me. The second time I saw Mr Ellis was through NHS referral, and I wondered if now I was an NHS patient my appointment would be different. It wasn't, I was treated exactly the same. If I need surgery in the future I know that I will be in a safe pair of hands and that the surgery will only be done if needed. I feel I can trust Mr Ellis implicitly, without hesitation and I am very pleased to have met him. I recommend Mr Ellis, I am thankful that I met him and can now count myself as one of his patients.
