In a rural setting it’s difficult to find good health care. The medical personnel and physical therapist at the location I go to are all excellent.

The medical assistant for Dr. Ellis is rude and cannot seem to smile ever. There is absolutely no reason to weigh me unless the office is advising on weight management!
