Dr. Kathryn Roberta Ellis, MD

Very responsive to needs. Refers promptly when necessary. Listens, is open to suggestion. Very satisfied.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Ellis to anyone. She prescribed me the wrong dose of an anxiety medication...8x the normal dose. This was confirmed by the ER doctor, ER counselor, and pharmacist. Too bad I didn't know this until after taking it for 2 weeks and felt CRAZY. When I told Dr. Ellis of my side effects, she insisted that I was wrong and that I, instead, needed to take more of the medication during the day. TERRIBLE DOCTOR.

Dr. Ellis was highly recommended by my oncologist as I was looking for a new primary. I was able to book an appointment in a timely manner. The office staff was efficient and courteous. I was seen promptly. Dr. Ellis had a quiet "bedside manner" and listened attentively. I now have a new primary with whom I am completely satisfied.

Dr. Ellis did not have my best interest. She does not think outside the box and was very reluctant to listen to me and help me with certain medications. She needs to be more open with dialogue and to listen to her patients. She is rushed as well and her follow up is awful.

This practice continues to keep incorrect records and billing errors. Receptionists are rude and hang up on you when trying to contact the office. Dr. Ellis does not make any effort to investigate issues, quick to address symptom only and is very rushed.

Dr. Ellis is a responsive and informed physician. I was impressed with how she was aware of the importance of Vitamin D supplementation in the Northeast, which not all physicians embrace. She was open to testing my Vitamin D levels when I asked -- this is exactly the type of communication and partnership that is required for a successful treating relationship.

Dr. Ellis has a bit of an attitude and not only rushed out of the appointment but when I had a question had a really bad attitude about stopping to hear it and provide an answer. She was also not well informed about a medication and insisted it was for something other than what it is classified for or prescribed for, which was not for an off label use. She was less than professional and what was either a nurse or a medical assistant almost messed up an injection, I actually has to be the one to stop her and correct it, so poor communication skills seem to be the norm for this office. I would not recommend her and I am switching. That was my very first visit there too and it seemed quiet and not busy. There really should be a better mechanism in place for tracking doctors that are either unprofessional or clearly need some professional help.

I like Dr Ellis however the office staff is horrible. We have been given wrong medical advise from someone claiming to be a nurse but was a medical assistant. Refusal to pass information on the the md for a prescription request and just generalized rudeness

The office felt cold, the staff was not friendly and Dr. Ellis was very detached to my needs, concerns and questions. She just wanted to leave the room as soon as she could. Also, they did not provided a referral that I called asked many times for it. I had to pay the full amount of the specialist and it also ruined my credit. They took not responsibility for it. I changed to a new better quality doctor a few months ago.

Dr. Ellis was easy to talk to, while seeming competent and thorough.
