Clear, concise, simple explanations and information about my knee issue and the options around it. Even when I opted to try an alternative to his proposal there was no negativity sent my way or attempt to try and sway/force/guilt trip his opinion on me. Instead it was simply ok so how best can I help you go in the direction you want to go and we will see if it works. If it doesnt I can confidently say I will be going back to Simon for surgery as I feel informed and sure that he knows what he is saying and doing. I've not been to a doctor in years due to bad experiences with them before this but if I would have seen Simon I never would have had this apprehension. Highly recommended.

Mr. Ellis was very helpful and listened to me! He then recommended injections for the time being.

I have known Mr Simon Ellis for nearly 10 years and he has kept my knees intact during that time, but I finally needed a knee replacement, He was initially referred to me by an eminent neurosurgeon Richard Gullan. Outstanding skills matched with genuine nice guy approach. Nothing is to much trouble for him and his team. Thank you!

Referred to Simon by my Physio who highly recommended his expertise in knee injuries. Simon was thorough in his testing and identified the cause of a long pending knee injury that I have been suffering from for over 7 years. I have been provided with excellent care and very happy and relieved to finally have a solution.

I was referred to knee Consultant Mr Ellis recently because of problems with my knees. I was very pleased with the professional and thorough way that he examined my knees and with his long experience dealing with knee problems, he very clearly explained what he considered the problems to be and the options available to resolve them. I am very happy for him to proceed with his recommended treatment
