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.

Unfriendly, does little
Sent to West TN Imaging Center for a procedure. MY PCP requested info on kinks, strictures, narrowing, length & transit time. When Dr. Ellis entered the room, the tech said 'This is Dr. Ellis'. He said nothing. He was covered with mask, what looked almost like a helmet and other gear. All I could see was his gold necklace. The only words he ever spoke was turn slightly to your left and turn slightly to your right He was extremely unfriendly. After a few x-rays, he re-entered the room and moved something around on my body, I'm assuming for another x-ray. He never said anything. After the procedure was over, he filed his report which didn't cover any of the things my doctor said he was testing for, but did mention something else. Don't know how well he does his job, but what I experienced didn't give any confidence. Of further note, I wasn't warned that I could be extremely sick for the next 36 hours after the procedure and was sent home immediately, sick all the way home.
What went well

What could be improved
