This was my second time seeing Dr Ellingson. Again, she greeted me personally and asked about my concerns. She reviewed my past and current test results and explained what was my issue and how she could correct it. Dr Ellingson has always listened and shown genuine concern for helping me . She is very positive and professionally astute. One of the best care providers I have had and being 76 I have had a LOT of them!

Best Doctor ever. So thankful that I was able to see her. She shook my hand before & after my appointment. Extremely friendly & welcoming. Did her research on me before she met with me. I will most definitely chose Dr. Ellingson for any other visits that I might need. Thank you Dr. Ellingson for making my visit so pleasant!!!!
