I don’t think my care could have been any better, and such a nice man. Mr. Ellis was very professional and very approachable , I was kept informed at every stage of my procedure, from the first meeting right through to surgery, and after, with a phone call to my wife to let her know that I was ok and the surgery went well.

Dr Ellis put me at complete ease, not a bad thing can be said about this man. He was very understanding and caring and I knew I was in good hands at all times. He let me know what was going on each step of the way through my surgery and hospital stay and also kept my daughter well informed, I can't thank him enough!

Simon he’s a very understanding surgeon he made me feel very welcome and relaxed. He was always prepared to listen. straight after the operation. He phoned my wife to let her know that I was okay which I thought was very very kind of him. His work and his team are very very professional in what they do. Well done. Keep up all the good work Simon thanks for fixing my knee .

From my first initial consultation appointment with Simon I knew straightaway that I was in was in good hands! He came across very professionally and explained in detail every aspect of the knee implant surgery highlighting both the benefits and potential side effects which could result in certain patients. During the consultation he also made me aware of the possible options which I could pursue but left the final decision down to me. Simon is definitely of the old school very experienced and extremely proud of what he does to improve the quality of life of his patients. From my personal experience to date, I would have no hesitancy whatsoever to recommend Simon. Keep up the good work!

Simon is friendly & welcoming . He understood my knee issues completely. He considered my medical history, my age and the travelling I am embarking on and together we agreed a path of action. I had researched my condition and had my own thoughts on a path ahead and Simon took complete consideration of this . For me as someone under 60 my actual surgery will come later but for now the solution of an injection mix is perfect. I Could not have hoped fire a better specialist
