Having seen Mr Ellis, I now feel reassured about my forthcoming operation, due in February 2018. He certainly made me feel at ease and explained everything in detail. Very reassuring.

On meeting Mr Ellis I felt at ease, talking through the procedure step by step in such a way that I put my trust in him. After my op Mr Ellis telephoned my husband ensuring him that all went well and that I was in recovery. Such a thoughtful gesture, what a lovely, kind and caring man. Thank you Cheryl Elcomb

Thank you so much for your kind review. I know that having surgery is a life event and very stressful for those waiting to know hence the phone call. with kind regards Simon Ellis

I have been suffering with arthritis for some considerable time and am a little apprehensive about an operation, but Mr. Ellis gave me such reassurance, that I now feel more confident about having an operation and hopefully, looking forward to, once again being able to at least walk, without having to rely on others. Thank you.

From the first time I met Mr Ellis he was kind, considerate, extremely generous with his time and made you feel at ease with what can be complicated issues for laymen. I had MPFL reconstructions in both knees in 2017, and my care was the best I have ever received. Nothing was too much trouble for Mr Ellis, and I have had superb outcomes from both operations and expect to return to racing Ironman Triathlons in 2018. I would definitely recommend Mr Ellis to anyone who needs orthopaedic surgery. You are in safe hands, and I have to say I know if there are any future problems with my knees, I will be heading straight back to him. No question.
