Dr Ellis is always so kind and very knowledgeable about skin care, moles changing etc. He noticed my TSH level from my checkup was off and suggested I let my doctor know about a change with my skin because they could be related. I like that he reviews my chart from other Vanderbilt doctors and asks about things that may concern my skin. He's very through and I feel confident that my moles are ok and not changing after he checks them and compares their current condition to pictures when they first presented. The check ups take longer, but I don't have to worry about melanomas if he says they are fine. :)

I have been a patient of Dr Ellis, and nurse Connie, for 30+ years. Not only Is he the best dermatologist, he listens to my every concern and addresses any change on my skin with caution and care. I have recommended him to others and they also are very happy with his care.
