I highly recommend Dr Ellis. He has been my physician for many years. He’s always happy to see me and I’m comfortable going to him. He has seen me through health issues and the death of my husband he helps me plan for the future in my health for a long and happy life.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Ellis is excellent. The office switched to new software which was making it tough to do referrals. Hoping that irons out. Ordering drugs with Optim RX has been rocky, that’s a support staff issue.
