Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hippocratic oath versus bank account
This guy couldn’t wait to get out of our appointment. They had me fill out a notebook worth of paperwork which neither his physicians assistant, nor himself looked at. I felt like just another number in the system of the IU Health insurance running people through Dr. after a doctor and getting nothing in return other than a bill.

Medical bureaucracy
1st appt last Aug for leg pain. Suggested spinal cord stimulator. Insurance denied; said doc missed peer-to-peer. Staff made appt for me to tell doc; said he didn't know it had been denied. Asked for steroid injection before yearend. Called many times; no return call. Portal answer copied/pasted response from earlier inquiry. Lined up injection for Mar 23. Strict 2-week pre-op regime; fasting last day. Doc said there would be 2 injections (different joints). Had 5 - 6 injections over the past 20 years, one of which without sedative in an office. Vowed never again. This was in a surgery center. Doc said no to sedative, citing must be administered in OR - not in pre-op - and time to take effect would be too long. Never heard of that. Thought pre-op was the right place for administering meds. Bottom line: took months to line up, 2 week prep for an office procedure in a surgery center, no sedation for painful procedure. Dr. Ellis is kind and compassionate. Can't say the same for IU Health.
