Dr. Ellis was wonderful when I had my appointment. She listened to my concerns and ordered an X-ray. Because of my problems she requested I follow up in three months.

Dr Ellis is an excellent doctor. She listens and has diagnosed and/or referred me out to a specialist for care or a complete diagnosis. Over the past few years this has happened not once but several times. This is the first doctor I have truly trusted in years. Before my first visit with her several years ago, I was constantly told I was healthy when a 9 year undiagnosed illness (per my surgeon) was waiting to be discovered. The entire front and back office staff Is excellent as well I am always treated promptly and with kindness
