I found Mr Ellis to be a really calming consultant. Asked questions and really listened to me before explaining in easy to understand language what needed to happen and why. Felt I could fully trust Mr Ellis for my procedure.

Mr Ellis is an extremely pleasant and approachable man who provided me with clear and detailed information regarding the necessity for a knee operation. I felt fully informed throughout the course of my operation and treatment. My concerns and questions were answered to ensure I felt confident in going forward. I have 100% confidence in Mr Ellis' professionalism and care to the extent that I searched where he was currently practicing to ensure he could be my Consultant. I appreciated the written information provided prior to my operation which allowed me to be fully aware of the procedure and anaesthesia options. I was pleased to be given the opportunity to see Mr Ellis face to face in Clinic when the need arose, especially in these unprecedented times and restrictions while in a pandemic.

Dr Ellis, explains everything in great detail, this is my second full knee replacement and wouldn’t of wanted any other doctor to do the operation. He knows what’s best for the patient and makes you feel so relaxed. Hopefully will be back to my normal self with 2 new knees.

I was very lucky to have been introduced to Mr. Ellis . Without his guidance and treatments I don’t think I would have been able to walk properly as I do now . He is a very caring surgeon who listens attentively to what his patients tell him .
