I saw Simon Ellis 7 years ago when I was diagnosed with bone on bone arthritis in both knees aged 49. Simon have be some excellent advice including suggesting I lost a little weight and rode an exercise bike along so along with taking my glucosamine and using kinesiology tape I made it successfully through the 7 years with very little change to the tracking of my knee. Simon advised I could return in my mid 50’s for steroid injections. Well I am 56 now and we have a new plan of Hyloronic acid & steroid injections and the addition of Tumeric tablets. We are hopeful this will delay knee replacement for a few years and I am delighted.
Simon is such a nice kind and friendly specialist who puts you at great ease. He even remembered to call me by my preferred name which was so appreciated.
I would highly recommend

I have had 2 ACL replacements in the same knee by two other consultants and when this one failed I took the advice of my osteopath and sought out Simon Ellis for his advice at KIMs hospital
I would describe Simon as calm, professional, knowledgeable, approachable and treats his patients as valued individuals
Simon arranged a CT scan in addition to the MRI and xrays I already had from my prior consultant. He discussed my lifestyle and how the knee issues affected me. He explained what he could see on the scans, discussing best option scenarios. This included referrals to particular specialists for the complex issue i had, with consideration of how I would get there and back following any procedure
Any question is clearly answered and explained, and follow up appointments and letters quickly provided. A really nice man as well as 'top notch' consultant
By far one of the best consultants i have seen over the years

I saw Mr Ellis after having an MRI scan on my knee. The scan revealed torn cartilage and ruptured Bakers Cyst. Mr Ellis discussed my options and we agreed that an arthroscopy was the best treatment. Mr Ellis was extremely helpful in explaining all the options and feel I made the right choice. Would thoroughly recommend Mr Ellis for any knee problem.
