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.

New Patient
This is was my first visit with Dr. Ellison, and she was very friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything to me. The minor procedure, which she performed was painless and performed very well. I would highly recommend her to others.

She listened
Dr. Ellison listened and answered all questions in treating my rosacea. She provided alternative medication for treatment. I decided to go with a more affordable medication. She carefully examined my skin and identified two precancerous spots on my nose. She treated this with a freeze. She was so pleasant and kind. I’m so sorry that she is moving. I would have definitely been a patient of such a professional physican.

I really felt confident in her diagnosis and care.
Great personality and comes into exam room knowing past history and concerns. Takes detailed notes and pictures. She is very knowledgeable and has a knack for finding the skin cancers that look normal. She even followed up with me after sending me to a vein specialist for a diagnosis.I was excited to find such a competent Doctor.

Absolutely thorough and personable as well!
She takes good notes of previous visits and was able to spot something she hadn't seen before. Very respectful. I am so sorry to hear she will be leaving us to go overseas. She will still do telehealth, but that's not why I go to her, I go for my annual exam.
