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.

Dr Ellis is wonderful
Dr Ellis and his in office staff is always great. And communicate very well so that I understand what’s going on. The call center customer service is not so great but don’t let that steer you away from the clinic itself that’s a whole different department.

Dr Ellis is a fantastic communicator
Dr. Ellis took the time to listen. He designed several solutions and he was honest about expected results. He is the fourth Doctor I have seen for pain relief. He is the first one to express clear knowledge and employ a direction for relief. I recommend Dr Ellis above all others that I have encountered.

Appreciation
Dr Ellis is a patient oriented doctor. You are not a number to him. He remembers everything about each patient and always treats you with respect and understanding. He speaks with you in detail about your concerns and always addresses each of them. I honestly wish every Dr on my care team was like him.

Knowledgeable and kind Dr
I originally was seeing a different Dr in same practice for 10 years. Since becoming my new dr, Dr Ellis took the time to explain potential possibilities and options for both immediate and future improvement in my conditions. His NP is great too and usually very short wait time.Only gripe is that Dr E is usually only in office seeing patients one or two days per week so it can be difficult to see him in person.
