I have previously had a total knee replacement in July of last year was the best thing I had done xxxxxx this year was a repair of my other knee, yet again was the best thing I had done. Simon is the best doctor I have experienced, a kind, generous, extremely knowledgable and very professional. I cannot say any improvements are needed. A great experience for me cannot thank all of the staff enough.

I visited Simon recently with some knee concerns. I had previously experienced his care some 15 years before and when the issue recurred there was only one man I wanted to see! His care and honest opinion has been invaluable. He put me immediately at ease and I found his explanations clear and, when I needed to ask a question, it was met with a straightforward and concise answer that I could genuinely understand. If I, or any of my family and friends, ever had an issue with knee problems I would state that he is categorically the man to see! He is, put simply, THE plain speaking expert! I can recommend him without question to anyone.

This was my first meeting with Mr Simon Ellis on the 16th November and straight away he made me feel very relaxed . His explanation of my forthcoming surgery was very explicit to the point that I actually understood everything he was saying and I feel very confident in going forward with my surgery. Stella Gowers

I found Mr Ellis to be very professional and reassuring in the two meetings I had with him leading up to my knee surgery, also very pleased with the speed of the scan and subsequent surgery date. Unfortunately my operation had to be cancelled on two occasions due to another health condition. Mr Ellis was very sympathetic with my situation and contacted me personally at home to discuss the way forward and will be happy to resume treatment when I am fit and well
