Dr. Christopher Ingard Ellingson, MD

Very kind and professional.

Dr. Ellingson was lovely. He spent time listening and explaining options for care. I was very impressed with his professionalism but also his kind demeanor. His staff were also very professional and kind as well. From the staff who answered the phone to those within the clinic, I felt respected and well cared for. I would highly recommend Dr. Ellingson and his practice to others.

Dr. Ellingson was very caring and I had a same-day appointment to look at my injured knee, which was very painful. He set me up for rehab, told me what was injured and gave me a treatment plan, and my knee is finally recovering. I highly recommend him!

I have an uncommon genetic condition that results in a lot of laxity and chronic problems. Dr. Ellingson initially acted like he was familiar with my condition, however once I started going over my relevant medical history he kept telling me me that what I was talking about was very rare. While that may be true for the general population, it's unfortunately common for people with my condition and was a red flag that he was not actually familiar with my issue. He also said he wouldn't be comfortable operating on someone with my condition unless it was excruciating and interfering with my life (which it is). Finally, after talking about being in PT for years, he recommended MORE PT. If it wasn't so frustrating, it might have been comical.

Thorough exam and X-rays, referral for mri. I got an appt quickly and the doctor was very knowledgeable and aggressive for accurate treatment and follow up.

Dr. Ellingson has the best bedside manner of any physician that I've met. He truly cares about his patients. On top of this, he is an excellent orthopedic surgeon.
