I found Mr Ellis a very caring consultant. He explained to me my problems with my knee and could not help me because of my renal condition. However he said he would contact Kent and Canterbury Hospital who have a renal unit.I am very greatful for his help and advice and would like to thank him for his time. He even went outside the hospital to meet my wife to explain the situation, which she greatly appreciated. A real gentleman. I

I first saw Mr. Ellis in March this year as I was suffering with severe knee pain.I found him to be a very friendly, welcoming and sympathetic specialist. He diagnosed my problem immediately, arranged for exray to confirm his diagnosis and gave me a quartz injection in the knee which gave great relief. He understood that I could not have a knee replacemment soonest due to some personal reasons but I am now pleased to say that he will be performing this surgery next month. I highly recommend Mr Ellis

I met Mr Ellis for the first time on Monday he was very professional in explaining the injury I had and how he could help me. He was very sympathetic when I mentioned I had a terminally ill husband and I was his carer and I needed to get my knee sorted out. Told me he could operate on my knee soon which I have accepted. I then received a call from Mr Ellis confirming my date for the operation.

I had my total knee replacement on 2nd June 2021. Mr Ellis had already explained the proceedure to me and answered all my queries. He was very reassuring and I had every confidence in his work. The operation went very well and he did such a good job that I was fit enough to be discharged from hospital within three days of admission.
