Our daughter loved Dr. Ellen! She has seen her since she was born and the care we receive is always personalized, gentle, and at our daughter's level. She gave our daughter space and time to warm up to her, and by the end our shy girl was asking questions and curious about Dr. Ellen's' computer and tools. I can't say enough good things about Ellen, she is wonderful.

I felt very rushed in this appointment. I ended up leaving the clinic at the time of my appointment and the provider seemed rushed in the exam and I felt they didn't take my concerns for routine breast exams seriously even after I mentioned my recent family history of relevant cancers. I feel the provider may have started rushing through the appointment after I mentioning that I was non-binary. Provider mentioned a new statin medication but didn't discuss anything about it or the possibility of changing my diabetes medication.
