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.

Mr Ellis has very successfully treated my knee problems for the last twelve years. He has a very friendly demeanour which puts you at ease straight away. I have found that he always listens very carefully to what I have to say and I have always found his expert replies to be easily understandable. I have been extremely pleased with all work he has carried out on me, especially my left knee replacement in 2015 which has been trouble-free and only a few days ago pain relief for my right knee which is awaiting replacement on the NHS. If I could afford it, I would arrange for Mr Ellis to carry out my TKR privately. I thoroughly recommend Mr Ellis.

Mr Ellis and his team were brilliant from the outset. Everything went very smooth and moved along swiftly from initial consultation, to MRI, to operation. Mr Ellis explained everything very clearly and all was documented just as clear. All correspondence was very concise and quickly received. Would definitely choose to use this doctor again, although I hope I don’t need to. Would highly recommend. I appreciate all that Mr Ellis did for me - Thank you. Jamie May
