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.

Accurate diagnosis.
I was at office for over an hour and had maybe 12 minutes one on one with doctor. Checking in at desk is a mess even after online check in.

Thank you, Dr. Ellis!
Dr. Ellis has been our girls’ ENT specialist since 2007! Today was our youngest daughter’s last visit! Due to our children’s chronic ear, nose and throat issues, Dr. Ellis performed several surgical procedures over the years. We appreciated his professionalism and expertise with each and every visit! He was always very personable with our “ENT kids” and put us and them at ease before every procedure and follow-up appointment. We would highly recommend his services to family, friends and the general public.

He was so very friendly down to earth and a nice d
He came in with a wonderful bedside manner, sat down talk to me, made me feel comfortable. I cried part of the time he found something that for a year the other doctor hadn’t even entertain that could be a possibility, and I was just overcome with emotion and I wish I would’ve seen him sooner.
