Good explanation of damage and quickly gave a shot for relief.
Dr Ellerbush is very nice and I love the way he was very clear with me all of what he was doing since I was on my stomach and couldn't see him and his assistant I was very jumpy worried about pain of the ultrasound and draining and he was very kind. I also really respect he accepted seeing me on a Friday afternoon when I wasn't even his surgery patient and he tried his best to give me some relief for the weekend.
Dr. Ellerbusch was wonderful! His bedside manner was excellent!! He was gentle and explained everything each step of the way.
He explained everything that he was doing before he did it and made sure I understood and was comfortable. He was great.
Very kind and literally walked me through every step of the nerve study.
Quick and very informative. Walked through each step in detail and I had little to no wait time.
