Mr Ellis was kind and listened from day 1. I was so scared about the procedure, he put my mind at rest.
I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr.Ellis was really pleasant and easy person to talk to.He explained the options to me l was a NHS patient which seem to make no difference than a private patient. He gave me different options to my knee problem l had had steroid injections which didn't seem to work anymore. He said l suggest a acid injection which has been very successful. I can't thank him enough. I have a follow up appointment in September. Thank you once again Mr.Ellis.

Mr Ellis saw me as an NHS patient, but i believe that i was treated exactly the same as a private patient and was treated extremely well. During my initial appointment my knee was examined, a diagnosis made and explained. Then a plan was given straight away for surgery, booked immediately to fit around me for within the month. Letters confirming were sent electronically to confirm all details within an hour.
Mr Ellis confirmed arrangements with The Spire and it all went ahead on schedule. The afternoon before surgery Mr Ellis confirmed the list, and then saw me the morning of surgery to confirm the procedure and prep me for surgery, with then follow up afterwards.
Mr Ellis has a very calm, polite and straightforward manner, which is very reassuring and you know you have been listened to and treated well.

Dr Ellis put me at ease as soon as I entered his room, I was feeling uneasy as I am an NHS patient. I have had a problem with my right knee for some years after playing with my grandson as a toddler on the living room floor, the treatment offered to me by Mr Ellis was explained in detail and I chose to go ahead with an injection into the knee.
Within 3 weeks I had a second appointment and was treated with such care my injection was pain free and Mr Ellis made me feel like a private patient I can't speak highly enough of him, I cannot think of anything I could improve about the care I received.
