Dr. Ellis explained my issues and continued treatment very well. He also gave me options as well with a particular issue. Very pleased with my first visit since having moved out of state.

Dr. Ellis included information in the clinic notes that weren't covered in our meeting. He is super sharp so I get the impression he is just seeing a ton of patients.
