Simon Ellis performed a partial knee replacement on me two weeks ago, a relative recommended him to me and I am so pleased that I decided to see him. From our very first meeting he listened to everything I had to say and then explained in layman’s language all my options. He treated me with great care and kindness and took it upon his self to personally contact my husband to let him know my operation was over. I would not hesitate to see him again in the future if needs be.

I had a total knee replacement two weeks ago and I am very pleased. From the first appointment with Mr Ellis I was reassured by his calm, professional manner and confidence. He listened to me and gave me the confidence to go ahead with a total knee replacement. The procedure went well and Mr Ellis rang my husband to confirm m that it had been done. A very thoughtful, caring consultant. The nurses said he was kind and thoughtful to them too.

I was very impressed by the care I recieved from Mr Ellis during treatment for my knee problem. He has a good manner that put me immediately at ease. He explained everything about my injury in an easily understandable way so that I knew exactly what the problem was. He explained the treatment and discussed the likely outcomes. Very impressed with his profesionalism and treatment.

Mr Ellis operated on my left knee (partial knee replacement) back in 2017, due to arthritis, with fantastic results. Unfortunately, I now need surgery on my right knee due to similar problems and Mr Ellis was the surgeon I knew I wanted to carry out the procedure. He is very friendly and approachable, a very good listener and explains things very clearly. Along with the help of the great staff team at KIMS, I have every confidence that the long term outcome of this operation (total knee replacement) will be just as good as the last.
