A Doctor, Friend like no other I have never known.
Dr. Ellis is awesome. He has it all, knowledge, humor, patience, compassion and a great staff. ❤️
Great doctor very caring and very professional. We loved him
Dr. Ellis was recommended to me years ago by a surgeon who is now a Chairman of a major university medical school. I would rate Dr. Ellis as excellent, top in his field.
Positive and dependable relationships for over two decades. I will miss your counsel. Ben
Excellent in every respect. Explained everything thoroughly. I was very sorry to learn of his retirement at the end of the year, but know that it will be an enjoyable experience for him and his family.
He is simply one of the best doctors out there.
Best doc in his field
Dr. Ellis is one of the best doctors that I ever had.
Dr.Ellis is from the old school. These young Dr's can't come close to providing his level and quality of care.The practice will have a big hole in it when he leaves.
