Dr. Thomas Schroeder Ellis, MD

Previously Dr. Ellis performed back & neck surgery on my husband. It was very successful for him. I was having severe lower back pain & had many shots by an orthopedic doctor with no success. I decided to see Dr. Ellis & he had me tested.. He determined it was my neck that was causing the problem & I had surgery on it. I now have no pain! Thank you Dr. Ellis!

For over 50 years I have sought relief from back pain. I cannot thank Dr. Ellis enough for providing the answer to my painful issues. Dr. Ellis and his entire staff have been pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Ellis and Ft Worth Brain and Spine

Dr Ellis is a very Professional and kind Dr. I went to him with some lower back issues. Through thorough testing he found a life threatening situation in my cervical area that needed surgery immediately. After surgery about a year later he addressed my lower back back issues and repaired my lower back. I am now doing well thanks to Dr Ellis. At every juncture of these issues he explained in layman’s terms what was wrong and how he would repair my neck and back. His office staff and nurses are the best. I highly recommend Dr Thomas Ellis.

I absolutely love Dr. Ellis! He and his staff are outstanding! He is personable, kind and listens to what you have to say. I had to have ACDF surgery in May 2021 and five months later Brain Decompression for Chiari I Malformation. Each surgery was a success and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Ellis was thorough in his evaluation and sent me for extensive outside testing before even considering surgery. I hands down without reservation recommend Dr. Ellis. He is Amazing!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Ellis. He was referred to me as the “go-to” neurosurgeon in the Fort Worth area. I’m so glad I listened to my primary doctor and allowed Dr. Ellis to perform my surgery. He was professional, attentive and took the time to explain everything clearly. My surgery was successful due to his expertise.

I was just fired by Dr Ellis for wanting a second opinion. Dr Ellis was recommended to me by a Dr as well as Neuro ICU nurse. I made an appointment and he seem like a nice enough doctor. I work for a large corporation and they provide, as one of their health benefits, a free second opinion through a company called Grand Round. The collect all the information, test results ..etc and forward it to a specialist in my area in that particular field. In this case, it is a Duke graduate, works at Baylor in Dallas .. etc I got a call today from Dr Ellis's office telling me that I was fired as a patient. The reason being that Dr Ellis does not permit his patients to get a second opinion. I was told by his office that if I sought a second opinion I could just go ahead and see that Dr. What?????? I have always been told that to be a good patient you are supposed to get at the very least two opinions and to be proactive in your healthcare. This is not a hang nail. I have a cyst… in my brain and head pain. We are trying to determine if the two are related. Before I let anyone crack my head open or conduct any procedure on my head or spine I am getting a second and probably a 3rd opinion. For a doctor to not allow this is appalling and unprofessional. I have no idea how good this doctor is but to tell me that it's his way or the highway is the pinnacle of arrogance.

Dr.Ellis is the best! I came to him a year ago having severe back pain. I had been to chiropractor and pain management with no help. Dr. Ellis had operated on my brothers back several years ago and he helped him. So I decided to go and that was the beginning of getting my back fixed. He operated on my back and I’m here to tell you it worked! Today I am a new woman because of him. He fixed my back for good. I am so happy!

Dr Ellis has fixed my back and Neck. Great surgeon and talks to you Not at you. Down to earth, good bedside manner and he listens to you problems and any concerns you my have. Even after the surgery he wants to make sure you are well. Would never even consider any other Dr. for back, neck are head problems.
