Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It was purely by my primary community Medical Cent
I am grateful to Dr. Vicara at Broward community Medical Center in Plantation for referring me to what turns out to be one of the highest rated orthopedic surgeon who completed a full hip replacement and I'm practically back to normal in two weeks so again I thank him and his staff And Dr. Vicara for referring me anyone that would go to him for orthopedic surgery can expect the best care and outcome

Compassionate and Caring
Having difficulty walking I thought I needed help with my knee as that was where I thought the pain was. After spending time with Dr. Ellowitz he sent me for x-rays with Judy. Judy was very professional and helpful. Afer reviewing the x-rays and checking for range of motion of my leg, The doctor felt a hip replacement was someting I should consider. He gave me a shot for my knee to see if that would help. After 2 weeks of the pain returning and not improving, I went back to the office to schedule surgery. Again, Dr. Ellowitz went over all the details. Jen was extremely help with all of the things involved and getting me the equipment that was needed. The surgery was as was explained and they get you right up walking. I followed the exercises, walking, and medication that was prescibed. I was walking with just the cane, after giving up the walker, after 2.5 weeks. It is now 8 weeks post surgery and I am back to walking my 5 miles per day without the cane.

This is the third shoulder surgery I've had, and this is the first time I used Dr. Ellowitz to repair my rotator cuff tear and this is the first time I woke up after surgery without pain or nausea. He gave me a nerve block which worked well and numbed my arm, the last two doctors I had surgery for the same procedure did not do that. It made a world of difference and took the fear of surgery away from me. I went home feeling no pain and had a question for Dr. Ellowitz but it was after hours, so I called his office and left a message to call me back, he called back in less than 5 minutes and answered my question. Any future surgeries I need Dr. Ellowitz will be my surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Ellowitz if you need any type of orthopedic surgery.

My name is Gerard Kamperveen and I felt compelled to write this review. It is seldom that I would take time and write about the job performance of a professional but the compassion ,knowledge and attention that I received from dr Ellowitz is NOTHING I had ever experienced before. Not only did he do a tremendous job,but he walked me through every facet of expectation of the procedure and aftermath. I would recommend this doctor to anyone who needs a hip replacement very highly. Thank you.

Dr. Ellowitz is the best not only is her surgery top notch but he has great bedside manner, which is hard to find nowadays. He did a knee replacement surgery on my right knee September of 2015 and at Broward Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. His staff made all of the arrangements and everything went over A+. His amazing staff does great follow-up especially his surgery coordinatir, Jennifer. All in all it was a great experience and I would do it again without hesitation.

I am very grateful to have found Dr.Ellowitz. With many problems and having seen many Dr's in 2 years and gotten nowhere. Within one week of my initial visit Dr Ellowitz wrote 2 referrals 4 x-rays and nerve conduction studies. it's one week since my initial visit and the extra x-rays have already been taken. I have faith again that something might get done. I am very excited about the future

His office is a disaster! Went to see him two times and never actually got past the front desk! I wasted 3 hours of my life traveling to this office and never saw the doctor. They had an incorrect phone number for me and said I missed my first appt then when I rescheduled, I waited in the waiting room for an hour and wasn't any closer to getting on the door than the lady sitting next to me who had been there 45 mins before me!!!!! I took my records and will see a dr who respects my time!
