Dr Ellis is always very attentive to my physical care and very thorough. She has a wonderful approach to my complete care not just what I may be seeing her for at the moment.

Dr Ellis is professional, kind, compassionate, and always willing to listen and get to the bottom of an issue. She always takes time of all of my questions, which means a lot. Love her!

I love Dr Ellis! She is professional, kind, patient, and really tries to get to the bottom of the issue. She never dismisses any of my concerns and is always willing to answer every question.

She's kind but honest. She tells me the truth about what she thinks I should do for my health, but she doesn't act like she's judging me when I don't adhere to her advice 100%. I like her and I don't dread going to see her, which is probably the biggest endorsement I can give. :)

I tried to work with a new pharmacy to manage my medications and Dr. Ellis refused to help them or give them refills no matter how many requests they submitted. Finally she sent them a nasty note via fax. I am disappointed to find some Doctors behave this way particularly mine, did she forget her job is to help not create problems.

Dr. Ellis is patient, never rushes me or condescends, and attends to the full 360 degree landscape of my health. I've never been so well cared for by a primary physician.

Dr. Ellis has been one of the most attentive, professional, and proficient doctors I have had. The negative ratings truly baffle me. As a chronic pain sufferer, it’s a blessing to be treated with respect and dignity.

I am lucky to have escaped with my life. She was arrogant, curt and nasty, no matter how sick I was. I wass lucky I lived the last time I saw her. Why did I wait so long to change?

She made me feel like I was stupid every time I went in there. Couldn't wait to change doctors.
