Response from Mr Simon Ellis
Thank you very much for this review. Making decisions about the management of knee problems can be quite daunting. As a consultant my role is to explain the treatment options with the potential risks and benefits of each choice so that you as the patient can be in the best position to make the right decision for you. I look forward to meeting again to discuss the way forward for you. With kind regards Simon Ellis

I was referred to Mr Ellis at Spire Alexandra Hospital following knee discomfort that had become progressively worse over the past 3 months. Following examination today we agreed that a total knee replacement was the most appropriate way forward. I felt very comfortable during the consultation and appreciated the depth of information that I was given which gave me an understanding of the procedure, what it involved and has answered any concerns I had.

I was involved in a serious car accident in Jan 2001 when my right knee was impaled on my vehicles ignition key on impact. Ive had 2 operations on it and physio constantly since. I 2aa finally sent to Mr Simon Ellis for review and he discussed several alternatives including total knee replacement. This, we agreed would be the right course of action for me, he eplained thoroughly and compassionately the proceedure and asked if i had any questions before settling for 28th May 2019. I cannot praise high enough the team and in particular, Mr Ellis throughout during my stay at KIMS Hospital. After a short recovery perios i now hope to have many years of pain free use of the said knee.

I can not fault the care I have been given by Mr Ellis. Mr Ellis carried out 2 x Arthroscopes to treat my chronic knee pain but we both came to the decision that a total knee replacement was the final solution. The procedure and after care was explained to me in detail and I always felt well informed. The operation has been a complete success and I am well on the way to a complete recovery. By far the best decision in the hands of a very caring, most professional surgeon. I fear I may need surgery on other worn joints and if given the opportunity, would not hesitate to choose a return to the care of Mr Ellis. Thank you for the best outcome possible.
