After having seen two different consultants i finally met Mr Simon Ellis he was the first person that sat down with a blank piece of paper and listened to what was happening. He knew straight away what was wrong as he had come out to reception to greet me. Not only had i seen two consultants but spent a lot of money on Chiropractors with no results. I had two injections on my knees which only helped for a very short time. Mr Ellis asked me for new X-rays as mine was a year old but said i think i already what's wrong.When he called me back in he showed me my X-rays and explained in great detail what was wrong and my options. So we decided that i needed two new half knees and the left to be done first.This was decided in September and by November i had my appointment and was operated on. I cannot ever thank him enough for his professionalism, kindness and understanding with what i was going through. The pain was becoming unbearable and 24/7 and for me he has just given hope and quality life as I'm a very active person. Mr Simon Ellis has turned my life around, I'm in my second week post op and must say the pain is nothing like i was living with. He comes highly recommended and the whole process has been incredible the staff are amazing and nothing was to much trouble. And i look forward to my other knee being done once i have recovered.

I have always benefitted from truly exemplary care from Mr Ellis following referral to him from my much respected and trusted physiotherapist. I recently underwent arthroscopic surgery carried out by Mr Ellis as a day patient at the Spire Alexandra Hospital. I received wonderful care from all the staff at the hospital and truly outstanding care from Mr Ellis. Thank you Mr Ellis for your reassuring phone call the evening before my surgery and for the detailed explanations regarding my procedure. Your professionalism, courtesy and kindness is unmatched and I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding and respectful care you have given regarding my troublesome knee. Currently one week post surgery I am returning to my very trusted and respected physiotherapist Kyle, to maximise my recovery, in advance of my post operative follow up with you in early January. Sincerest thanks.

From the first appointment with Mr. Ellis I felt very at ease, he was easy to talk to, ask questions and was always making sure I understood the procedure process. My operation was very recently so can’t comment on outcome yet, the whole team were very caring and he very caring, making sure that I was kept up to date with everything that was going on
