Had my knee replacement surgery done on 20/04/21 by Mr Ellis. From day one of my first consultation he instilled total confidence. He is the most down to earth and approachable surgeon that you could ever have the good fortune to be placed in his care. He is so empathetic and understands the concerns and worries associated with this operation, he does not pull any punches regarding the pain associated with the recovery and the length of time it takes. He came to see me each day and even rang me at home on the day of my discharge. Wish that there were more doctors/ surgeons out there with his work ethic.

I met Mr. Ellis for my first consultation. I felt totally at ease and completely trust him. He made me very welcome and listened and understood my situation. I have complete faith in him and look forward to the day when I can have my operation knowing that I'm in safe hands.

Just had one consultation but straight away I felt at ease with his manner and knowledge. I’m in the process of possible surgery and I have no qualms about this occurring.

What can I say Mr Ellis gave me 5 star treatment. I have been under his care for a few years as a NHS patient. He is so caring understanding explains everything very clearly. Had knee replaced 30th March 2021.while I stayed at Kim’s he came to see me every day to check on my progress and any problems always set my mind at ease also in outpatients department came down specially to see me as had dressing issues and sorted me out. Generally such a lovely man and I can’t recommend him enough.Treatment second to none. Knee was much better after surgery no more constant pain just operation recovery.
