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.

I have seen Mr. Ellis this morning at the RFH, for an urgent cystoscopyc needed to evaluate and assess the reason behind a recent haematuria. I never had such test before but knew it was going to be uncomfortable or possibly painful. I must say Mr. Ellis has been polite, kind and did everything to put me at ease providing comprehensive information and walking me through the procedure, which was indeed a but unconfortable as anticipated. He also reassured me about my medical condition with nice and hopeful words.

Simply put, Gidon is a great doctor. He is both talented and human. It’s clear that Gidon really cares about his patients and takes the time to build rapport and really listen. Quality’s often absent from doctors of his level. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gidon highly.

I could not be happier with the care I received from this doctor.The procedure was clearly explained to me.For the first time ever I was completely at ease and comfortable with what is usually a daunting experience and procedure.Quite honestly I could not suggest how the care given to me by both Doctor and Nurse could have been any better

I saw Mr Ellis today for a flexible cystoscopy procedure which I was dreading, but his manner and calm ability to explain it beforehand completely put my mind at ease.
Afterwards he explained the diagnosis and any future follow up, preferring to go the way of medication to treat the problem rather than an operation.
I felt very confident in his ability, and whilst I hope I do not have to see him again for any surgical procedure, I would appreciate his input greatly if that was the only option.
