Mr. Ellis patiently explained the options available to me to deal with my enlarged prostate. He supported my decision to explore prostate artery embolisation but was willing to proceed with HoLEP if necessary. I didn't feel pressured to make an immediate or irrevocable decision. Mr. Ellis encouraged me and followed up on my progress. Best of all, PAE was a miraculous success.

Mr Ellis performed a flexible cystoscopy and really put my mind at ease. I was initially concerned because I hadn't received the results of a CT scan and assumed I had been called back because something untoward had been found. Mr Ellis and his team reassured me that everything was fine and the cyctoscopy was a routine additional check. Thankfully all was fine and I was promptly discharged.

I have received Private Patient level care in the NHS and Mr Ellis has been superb throughout. If you need to have prostate surgery, he is your man!

Gidon far exceeded my expectations from a service perspective. His explanations and calming presence helped me through a difficult period. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I'm lucky that I've not had to spend too much time in hospitals but I was surprised how positive (& enjoyable!) my experience with Mr Ellis was. I liked how very informal and down to earth he was.
The approach was very relaxed for a procedure that sounded in advance to be not very pleasant. At each stage of the scan/examination he explained very clearly in a matter of fact way what was about to happen and what I was likely to experience.
When doing the scan I really appreciated how he took me on a "tour" of the areas the probe/camera passed through with a fairly detailed running commentary and answered my questions. It was a fascinating experience. Not what I was expecting.
And the bonus was that we had an interesting chat comparing our experiences of teaching children how to cycle.
Also, on reflection, I think what made the experience all the more positive was the way Mr Ellis dealt with me as a person and not just as a patient. He was genuinely interested in me and what I had to say.
Just to add that on the day I had the scan Mr Ellis was the only doctor on duty with the other doctor being off. So he had to alternate between consulting areas. I expected things to be a bit rushed so was surprised at how Mr Ellis took his time with me and had no sense that things were rushed. In fact it was the opposite.
And also let me say that the nursing/reception team who looked after me were really good and helpful.
